the number of puffy face idiots i see around my gym would probably like to disagree, but they're too busy quarter squatting 225 and looking in the mirror to make sure no one sees the bottle of dbol in their bag.

Ken knows what he's talking about, the man did standing presses behind the neck with 375 pounds and deadlifted 775 on a York powerlifting bar and shrugged it so hard that the bar bent.

hahahahahaha, a workout to David Henry is putting 6 plates on each side of the Hammer Strength high row and then pulling the weight down three inches for 4 eighth reps and then loading a bar with 585 in the power rack and pulling it an inch, how do you compare that to a man who clean and jerked 500 pounds, deadlifted 800 and could knock off reps with 365 pounds on behind the neck presses.

you are probably right, It is just the olympic games testing is so strict now, it is very hard to get away with it, let alone get 3 golds and one bronze and get away, at four different games.

In his day, Patera was the best American Olympic lifter.  He was the first to clean and jerk 500 lbs if my memory serves.  Ken was also a WSM competitor.  He was a man with a lot of brute strength.

Very true. I knew a guy that was on 1000mgs of test and 600mgs of deca weekly for 12 weeks and he didn't gain more then 5lbs. Its all in your training, diet and genetics. Roids only enhance that.

Ken patera is incredible!!!  That second pix, although still very impressive is from the late 80's after he got out of jail, I believe.  Late 70's was his biggest.  The guy also was a great heel!!!!  Sold everything like curt henning did...and that shouldn't be a surprise because the henning family is from the AWA territory that Ken started at.  Just the way he moved, talked, you knew he was a tough sob, legit.

When he competed, they still had the military press which was stricter than the clean & jerk..  Military pressed 517 lbs in the '72 Pan Am games--Gold medal.  Bronze medal in the '72 Olympics.  3rd place in the first WSM in '77 with a bad back--Ferrigno was 4th.
