Old school strong men

Check some of these old timer's out, they were seriously strong, all without the help of steroids. Especially look at the profile of Kate "Vulcana" Roberts, one very strong women!

This is also for all those who say massive levels of strength cannot be reached without anabolic assistance.

I was just about to quote that from the OP's origional website.

Sorry, but 551lbs by one finger is just utter rubbish. That is just impossible.

That amount of mass could possibly have been supported by one finger while his arm moved that weight, but otherwise I give a huge sceptical "hmmm".

He did it, and in front of witnesses. By the way, what you described, is what the finger lift is

He merely gripped the weight with one finger

I highly recommend the book dinosaur training, very good read. Also lots of good workout information

I have basically been training like that for a few years now, heavy sand bag work, singles etc. I am naturally pretty strong, but have made massive leaps in my strength, escpecially my grip. Beats doing rubbish like split routines and "ab days" that the pretty boys at my gym do
