The strongest man ever ?

[Scotsman]

Mike "the mule" Miller just hit a 1200 squat.

I saw that, he is just amazingly strong.

i dont know about the strongest, but my fav is the polish dude, pudanowski,

best quote, i think it was the famers walk. the polish guy screams something in polish like, poland is the best or something then kaz is like, 'i dont speal polish, but im pretty sure hes said hes goin for the 3 peet.

i laughed so hard at kaz, just as bad as madden...

Not the all time strongest but definitely most impressive competitor since Jon-Pall.

2 time world strongest man and former Polish champion in boxing, I'd say don't spill his drink if you ever meet him.

thats a record squat of course, but pound for pound in a strongman competition i'd like to see how he fares. (i'm sure very well- but it would be interesting to see such a top class powerlifter compete against dedicated strongmen)
pound for pound, the higher numbers put up aren't always by the strongest- its just the most impressive.

Kaz put up 660 without a bench shirt and would have done much more but tore his front delt and peck loose bending a bar in the strongman. He also squatted and dl'd in the 800+ with only a belt. Not to take anything away from Ryan and Gene but they are bench specialists.

Gene has 1000 lb squat in 2003 in a meet, check it out on irongame. He is a bench specialist, hasn't always been. I am just clarifying.

Powerlifters tend to do very well on the squat/dead style lifts but very poorly on the odd lifts like stones, logs, and running events. I know I got my ass kicked by some of the stuff in my first comp. Even though I was bigger and stronger than most of the people I have competed against I just don't have enough practice with the implements.

My choice would be big O.D Wilson. He was a powerlifter par excellence. His strongman comps where impressive too. He wasnt the best runner,but could do some of the loading events very well.He squatted over a grand and deadlifted over 900lbs,benched well over mid 600 no shirt!Mike Miller deadlifts mid 600 and squats 1200,what does that disparity tell you!!!
When Jon Paul Sigmarson beat OD it was on the last event carrying 100kgs of bricks on your back and running with them for 200 metres, Im glad that craps not in the strongman anymore.A big Scottish bricklayer would beat Jon Paul at that!!

Kazmaier hands down. A 2425 total with no shirt or suit is still unbeatable today. I witnessed him rep 150 lb dumbells in the seated overhead press 31x at the age of 48 (World Record).

Kazmaier would have benched 800 pounds if he hadnt torn his pectoral and hit 700 out of competition. Add a bench press shirt to that and we're talking upper 800's easily.

OD Wilson?

Couldnt even finish a 200 meter event in the WSM. Lifts never exceeded Kazmaier's - OD is "Good at loading events"? - Kazmaier took each implement and threw them from over 15 feet instead of running up to the truck and loading them. He finished in half the time of the nearest competitor.

Magnus ver Magnusun?

Dominated speed events but never power events.

Botttom Line:

Kazmaier owned the world of Powerlifting and was the most dominant WSM champion ever. He won once with 8 firsts a second and a third. Dominated another with similar stats. Won his last with a torn pectoral.

OD Wilson broke Kaz records eg 2430 total. He beat Jon Pall loading the anvils etc. WTF has running 200metres got to do with strongman anyway. Dont think you understood what I wrote Magnus also won partial deadlift and a squat comps WSM or are thse not 'power events'? Ed Coan is POWERLIFTING he beat Kaz records, less BWT and less drugs
