Various shots of World Champion Weightlifter Douglas Hepburn weight lifting (of course) in a gymnasium while a crowd of people watch. He is quite a large man in a small unitard.

Hepburn had every strike against him. He was born with a withered right leg, a clubfoot, was cross-eyed as a child (he later had surgery to correct his eyes) and a drunk for a father who abandoned his family. Hepburn never liked school, quit at the age of fifteen or so, trained by himself, and built himself up to be the strongest man in Canada and one of the strongest lifters ever. Now, he didn't have a great snatch in O weightlifting, mainly because of his leg, but his lifts were respectable. However, in the powerlifts, he was exceptional. A very bright, articulate person, from what I read, self-taught, and smarter than most. A most exceptional person.

The Canadians were crazy for not backing this guy.

DOUG HEPBURN ONE OF THE VERY BEST ALL ROUND LIFTERS. GREAT TO SEE HIM IN ACTION.

@Krishna_Singh_2111 Год назад

He effortlessly places the barbell back into the holder after the lift is more amazing that the lift.

@2ndavenuesw481 Год назад

Spotters were helping him.

@mikegrazio5376 Год назад

clearly you werent paying attention that spotters re racked it and he was only holding on to the bar. The placement of the rack and the barbell and weight is not humanly possibly to do what you thought happened

Hafthor - 250KG bench press Ray Williams- 247KG bench press DOUG HEPBURN- 263KG BENCH PRESS????!!!!! and not on gear either!

He's a beast and needs more recognition

@incrediblehulk8031 Год назад

@@wagner1914 In my opinion he was the strongest man that lived before steroids and drugs, Paul Anderson maybe but he was a bit further up in the years hence the more chance of steroids or other drug use.

The correct way to lift weights you never slammed the weights to the ground never!

@williesnyder2899 2 года назад

That janky weight bench haha but he was so strong true legend.

@gboymachine9762 Год назад

Sitting right behind the lifter seems like a bad idea

@MAllen-ng8pl Год назад

Geez, I’d hate to hear I’m a spotter for Doug Hepburn. The way he lets go from the rack!

it's crazy how much weight lifting as has improved and changed since then, and THEN i see old greek statues of body builders and think ''well they must have been way ahead of their time''. Knowledge was definitely lost and regained many times since then.
