The strongest man ever ?

[SuperDawgy]

Kaz was the man in his day, but you've got guys like Kennelly and Rychak now that are putting up weights that were once unthinkable. 1003lb on bench! How much stronger can they get?

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.

I know, but think about this...if Gene started competing in three lifts and only had a 600 squat and 700 dead (which is feasible) he has a 2,300 total. Not shabby. I'm also suprised that nobody has mentioned Anthony Clark.

Gary Frank has a 2,700 total because of his huge squat and dead. Also with Clark he is a bench specialist, plus his big presses were dq'd because he benches reverse grip. Also look at guys like big Mike "the mule" Miller who posts on here, 800+ bench 1,100+ squat mid 600's dead. I think his last total was 2550 or so. Here again comes the argument that you can't really compare lifts in strongman to powerlifting or olympic lifting because each is more of a specialty.

Very true, so in your opinion...who is the "strongest" of all time. All disciplines taken into account.

This may sound like and evasive answer but. The strongest person in the world isn't in the olympics, in the WSM contest, powerlifting, or playing pro sports. The strongest person on earth is probably some guy in a village that you've never heard of out plowing a field or something and throwing big stones out of his way to get his work done. He'll never be more than a local hero and will never be introduced to the rest of the world and will probably die a happy old man and become somewhat of a local legend.

As far as competitors I go with Kazmeier. The man was just crazy strong from birth on. John Paul Sigmarsson also ranks up there.

Probably so, more than likely some big ass Samoan that tosses donkies for fun.
