The question asked how strong can a regular, normal person, who exercises and eats right. And BTW Why are the people who have used steroids here are the most sensitive and think people are taking away their accomplishments?
I will speak for myself. I am offended by the question for this reason: a true warrior never, NEVER, acknowledges limits. Just the fact that this guy's brain can even formulate this question is proof that he will never be great.
And the deadlift you list is a bit high. His numbers as I have seen them on a site dedicated to the old time strongmen and powerlifters were something in the 700's without hooks and in the 800's with hooks.
And lets not forget about his backlift of over 6,000 lbs. I do not disagree with your assessment that he was maybe the strongest man who ever lived. I might also put Kazmaier up there as well.
I have seen the numbers for his raw and "hooked" deadlifts from two different sources. Same with the >6000lbs backlift.
They were the same as what Jeremy's said they were.
