i mean a 500 KG deadlift, not to discredict eddie hall brian shaw and many nowadays guy, but they are not the strongest
not human ever pulled horses like cyr and thopham did

>Arthur Saxon was a German strongman and circus performer from the late 19th century into the early 20th century >At one point during a bent press performance Saxon claimed the act could not be repeated by the famous Eugen Sandow > Sandow was unable to replicate the lift and, in retaliation, took the Saxon Trio to court
>Sandow was born to a Jewish family The eternal jew
Julian Sanders
He was also a notorious lying fuck
Austin Allen
What does it matter if you can lift a thousand pounds but look like ass and don't know what to do in a fight?
Cope harder.
Hudson Butler
>Thopham still got cucked >Then he murder-suicided. Women: not even once.
Oliver Walker
yes sadly
delamarre and cyr also had very very painfull deaths and all the heavy lifting practically ruined them to the pain they had to live off morfine, thats the price you gotta pay for being a strong fuck
John Martin
lol it was well documented vasily alexeiev was strong enough to beat any fucker he wanted in a fight,oncr a drunktard break a bottle on his head and he didnt even bother thats how strong vasily was
Brayden Ortiz
he was not, many lifters, trainers and more saw his feats
Colton Hill
sandow was based anyway, but yeah saxon was another league
Ethan Butler
Cope harder, loser. The guy wouldn't stand a chance against an MMA fighter or even semi-decent fighter with jiujitsu background.
COPE. COPE. COPE.
Dylan Ross
great thread. totally ahistorical, 0 sources cited
Caleb Rivera
Lel skinny manlet praising bjj but you have no idea how it is to break grips being a strong cunt and you can muscle fuck half your opponents. Twink faggot
Jack Fisher
>quarter squat Stopped reading there. What a massive faggot. Now Brian shaw, that's a weightlifter
Jaxson Wilson
vasily was from a context where physical strenght was more important that holding a boxing or mma title, mma didnt even exist back then or didnt even had importance, weightlifting was the maximun gauge of strenght for them, vasily was all around a great athlete who could have been a beast in any contact or lifting sport he picked up
remembers they cared all about having gold medals and contact sports taking apart boxing didnt give you one, and why would vasily pick up boxing when olympic lifting would give him multiple medals anyway
Jonathan Stewart
vasily didnt focus on squats and deadlift, just would do them for a shortly season, he worked mainly on pulling movements, full depth or not a 1000 lbs squat even quarter rep squat for someone who didnt focus on them is just overwhelming
Ethan Taylor
vasily alexeiev had remarkable grip strenght like #4 COC for reps above, everyone who met him would praise on his handshake
Julian Rivera
why the fuck does it matter? if you pick a fight with me on the street i will drop you in half a second with just a few trigger pulls. fighting is pretty much worthless nowadays.
there's literally a TV show right now where Shaw and Hall (and two other hanger ons) are looking at and repeating various historical feats of strength
David Wright
For a superheavyweight lifter once they get to 700-800lb squat it's kind of pointless to keep training the squat due to diminishing returns on their lifts. At that point it's more important to focus on bar speed
Jeremiah Allen
yes he was also able to strict overhead press that when he would peak on training
