His record is 380lb one hand....and still stands the test of time 💯

Nah they were crushed yrs ago. It'd be sweet tho...

@@SherylinRM That record is so unreal. I can’t imagine anyone attempting it.

@@timothinking9855 I thought he has the record for most weight ever lifted?

@@arcticadam it all depends on if we're talking, deadlift, clean, squat... I mean you can see ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Ckw1PQx5zlg.html

@@arcticadam Eddie Hall, Hafthor B. , And Martins Licis all hold records for different lifts

Same here in home gym..

Would love to hear more.

@@chino7242 lol i wish he still is but he's dead so....Yeah that sucks

@@Z_Belphemon I mean, he is still a legend, even being dead...

@@chino7242 Yeah I understand He damn well is :)

Groucho was an incredibly quick-witted man. I think he was just holding for applause before he cracked the joke.

Casey Vee mmjmj

Casey Vee First of all Paul Anderson was an honest man. A rare commodity . If he claimed a certain wt was lifted , then it was lifted. Too many respectable and authoritative men over a span of years have consistently called Anderson the STRONGEST MAN they ever saw. Peary Rader , Terry Todd, John Grimek and a host of others were first hand eye witnesses , and reported unparalleled lifts. Idiots today, most of whom couldn't load his squat bar , make claims that he was on steroids , his squats were high , he cheated , and and other nonsensical bullshit. He could squat as deep as he wanted to. He was built to squat. If a human could be designed and constructed to be a squatting machine it would be Anderson. Pictures from that era Strength and Health , and Muscular Development give an idea how strong Paul was , squatting enormous weights with a smile on his face. A SMILE ! As they say haters will hate . 900? Legitimately I'd give him One thousand.

Casey Vee And if you don’t know, look up Strong man Brian Shaw on RU-vid where he visits Paul’s old home and pays homage to him.

Can I see his 500+kg deadlift?

"Yes Indeed, Sam Harris!!!!" "Yes Indeed!!!!"

Me too... But it makes me think that Eddie himself should learn a few things from this man.

His olympic records were eclipsed by superior technique but his powerlifting records are still impressive today.

Johnny J its curious by comparaison with Serge Reding or shane hamman (trio are same Height/wheight) evidence of evolution in train and technic ! Shane Hamman is ibterresting because like Paul Anderson its an hybrid lifter cruising between power and oly lifts ! RAW PAUL LIFTS WAS VERY SUPERIOR (SQUAT AND BENCH IN LESS PROPORTION 350 and 65 in more WITHOUTD GEAR/SUIT)...EXCEPT DEADLIFT OR SHANE IS MORE STRONG (20 LBS in less NO MORE)...in despite of THESE DATAS SHANE HAMMAN BEST TRAINING LIFTS WAS 195/240 total IN SAME SESSION 435 .. .PAUL ANDERSON DO 145/210...and NEVER ABLE TO TO IT IN SAME SESSION....FOR SUCCEES SNATCH AT 145 PAUL FOCALISE TRAINING ONE MONTH ON SNATCH BUT JUST DO 190 AT CLEAN JERK (335 TOTAL) ..AND FOR HIS 210 CLAN JERK SAME THING. HE SNATCHED 135 (245 TOTAL)... IN BOTH CASE 100 OR 90 KGS (220/200LBS) LESS IN REAL TOTAL ...ITS GREAT LEVEL HETEROGENEITY

@Rocky Losco....Paul Anderson said, even the strongest man in the world needs Jesus Christ.

Because at the time only amateurs were allowed to compete. He became a professional after he started appearing on TV and in personal appearances. Back then, that was enough for you to be declared a professional.

Michael Booth thx, but I cant think of any reason behind that rule.

It was a different time. It hasn't been all that long (well, 30 years) since professionals were allowed to compete in the Olympics.

Michael Booth so any famous person was not allowed to compete? but why were the competitions only for amateurs? does that mean you wouldnt be allowed to join the next Olympics if you already participated in one and appeared on TV?

The competition was for amateurs because that is the way the Olympics were organized. So if you were paid to be on TV because of your sport you were no longer an amateur. You could be famous and still be an amateur as long as you did not profit from your sport. The Soviets and East Germans trained their athletes like they were professionals but were not technically paid.

I think he gave God glory and reached many for Jesus.

did you not see the last 8 seconds ya muppet?

Jebat Protest c’mon the man had a wife, show some respect

steven van trans most power lifters have lots of fat but under it is lots of muscle

Half of your brain is fat. The other half is water.

who? Iron ghandi?
