Paul Anderson won an Olympic gold medal in weight-lifting iin Melbourne,Australia in 1956. He was recorded in the Guiness Book of World Records for successfully back-lifting 6,270 pounds in 1957.,more than any other human being has ever lifted.
Paul Anderson was not strongest man, not even close. He could not held air planes even with his neck, or pull with his neck over 30 tons automobile,or rip of tyre from wheel, like Mighty Atom did, who from other side could lift lot of weight as well, for example front of large passenger car, or one and half ton on his back with much greater range feats of strenght than Paul Anderson so was stronger bit than him, not to mnetion that he train few time less, have such power by tens of years and was natural, not hormon rise like Paul who die to early becouse of it. The same go for almost all lifter for last about 50 years which without steroid would have been only medium strong.
I would have to think Vasilliy Alexeyve (sp) has to be considered one of the strongest ever. The guy set 80 world lifting records. EIGHTY!!! Amazing.
