Title: Paul Anderson
Post by: johnny1 on October 13, 2008, 02:17:56 AM

Paul Anderson was a Massive bloke who did Increadible strength acts...some disputed...some not...what cannot be disputed is paul was the World weightlifting Champion in 1955 and won the Gold Medal in Weightlifting @ the 1956 Olympics...and had some of the biggest quads (muscle/bulk) for years and years...we use to have a picture of big paul (blowed up large from a photo-copy) doing the clean & jerk @ the OLYMPICS right over the squat rack @ the gym...his arms and legs were MASSIVE!

What did he weigh, 400lbs?

His weight varied though the years...in his prime he was 5ft 8-5ft 9 and weighed between 310-360lbs....in his later years in excess of 380-400lbs...the reports Ive read, articles in mags, internet all point towards that 400lb mark as he got into his 40s...etc.
