Doug Furnas

[PopeyePower]

I was wondering if anybody had any info. on Furnas, like his best lifts or anything like that.....I was watching some old wrestling tapes, and Jim Ross was announcing, and he is big on the wrestler's real life accomplishments and he made Furnas out to be the real deal.....I did a search on the net , but all that I found was about 1,000 goofy wrestling web sites.....if anybody has a link to a web site or some numbers, I'd like to check it out.

He had close to a 1000lb squat, pulled 800'ish(?). There is a page or 2 devoted tohim in Ed Coans book.

He was the first non-SHW to total 2400, which he did twice at 275.
986 squat, 600 bench, 814 dead.

No link, but will try to put a pic up later.

sounds like a beast to me

Thanks, Arioch.....his squat and deadlift are fucking insane

 

[Arioch]

He was also quite flexible, could manage a standing backflip, and you could see every one of his abs at 275.

I saw Doug squat 975 wearing Converse Chuck Taylor high tops in the early 90's. Deep.
He could do the splits too. Awesome athlete.

Yea I remember him around the same time period as Bill Kazmaier.. He ended up going to Japan pretty soon after beginning WCW though.
