How strong....

I honestly don't know myself. I've tried looking it up, but was not able to find a description.

If anyone can describe one, please do.

look on google for a pic

it's basically where the guy bends over and has a platform on his back and holds his hands backwards with his palms up (ever seen the guy holding the globe oh nis back?) and basically does a good morning, but the ROM is very small

Thanks man. Found a couple pics. To bad the only one of Paul doing it is small and hard to see.

There was nowhere to compete. Powerlifting did not really exist as a sport at that time, Jeremy. Kind of like if you are really good at balancing tables on your forhead right now. You could be really good at it, but would be a little tough to compete, since there are no arranged competitions.

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.

Here's a link to a bio of Paul. It's one of the places I got the info. Lot's big lifts listed.
