The Hulk seemed much stronger. He once threw a grizzly bear like 100 feet through the air.

The Hulk's strength grew in proportion to whatever force opposed him.

He was gamma.

Pretty weak numbers for a former sheet metal worker. I was expecting retard strength.

Are you talking IFBB pro bodybuilder? Or any pro bodybuilder?

There is this guy, Christopher Oketch, PNBA pro bodybuilder and Kenya's/Qatar's Strongest Man.

Placing 4th in a World's Strongest Man contest, especially considering he didn't know how to train for some of the events, is quite impressive.

He's no Christopher Oketch, but..... ;D

At the time, strongman wasn’t even a recognized, established sport. This was its “novelty” spectacle days, in which everyone from footballers to … participated.

And concerning the numbers listed …

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahaha!

Most strongmen were the guys ripping up phone books or bending bars in their mouth. Bill Pearl, former Mr. Universe, made more money doing strongman stunts than he ever did as a bodybuilder. Chuck Sipes was another guy who did such feats like bending spikes and tearing license plates in half.

That was back when people expected bodybuilders to be as strong as (or stronger than) they looked. Didn't the old AAU shows have a weightlifting portion and a bodybuilding show for their contests?

Sipes was a beast. The guy worked hard labor all day and then came for a 2 hour workout.

I hope he would since they had everyone entering, from track/field, to NFL... Lou was far from weak, just those numbers are a joke...

Sergio Oliva had a hard-labor job in a foundry. And he managed to hit the iron for a couple of hours. He also was no slouch in the strength department, as he was a weightlifter for Cuba.

I also worked in a foundry and then lifted when I was young. I don't have any Sandows though. :-[

People forget Lou was 6'5'' (in his prime) and also had anger issues due to him being deaf, it's crazy how strong he was, 900 lb deadlift, 600 lb bench press, etc, stronger than Franco and Arnold

He may have made more money doing strongman stunts, like Bill Pearl.

Bill Pearl did like the old strongman stuff but he really made his money with his Gyms.
Ferrigno for me had no charachter or intelligence like Pearl. Even if he was the Hulk  ::)

No one forgets he was six-five.

And there’s zero chance he ever came even close to those numbers.

Hope this helps.
