i have a feeling these guys are only good for one maximum lift a day, and if they were asked to mow a couple yards they couldnt because they would die from cardiac failure

No it doesn't...But he was one of those 10 anadrol a day guys...He read the label that stated up to 10 a day and decided it was fine.lol

If you can bench 400 pounds off 2 anadrol a day, take 10 a day and see what happens if you don't get sick. :-\

sorry J fal , these guys do 3 or 4 events in a day, on the grandprix circuit theyl do 6 in one day, fit dudes for the weight of them

I met Kaz 3 years ago in Traverse City Mi, he was a spokesman for some equipment company that a local gym had bought equipment from. The guy was still 6'1 at least and had hands the size of a catchers mitt. He was very personable and friendly. just a heckuva nice guy. He seemed pretty serious about his Christian faith and spoke about how that was his focus now in life. Very interesting guy.
I know some people talk about what a douche he was when younger, but a lot of people do stupid things in their youth and then mature out of it later. Seemed like a genuine down to earth guy.

except for the fact that most WSM events involve holding heavy shit and running a distance with it or taking a heavy weight and doing it for reps. have you ever actually SEEN a strongman competition? it's not a PL meet, they have to have endurance with weight.

Always admired his physique, he didn't just look strong, Kaz was the real deal, first man to Bench press over 660lbs in competition and squatted/Deadlifted in the 900's, as if that wasn't enough he was untouchable in the WSM in the early eighties winning 3 titles back to back.

This x 10! Most impressive strength athelete ever!
-
To put things in perspective there is a video of Levrone doing behind the neck press with four plates. I forget how many reps and granted it was on the smith press but he made it look easy. He was a lot smaller than Kaz too.
-
If he was so strong why did he stay in a niche sport, why didn't he try his strength in a strength sport that has the most competition, weightlifting.

SO wrong. And epic jealousy, too.
-

He wouldn't of been great at it, the most noted C/J I have for him is #374 after a few events at the Strongbow contest in England, so his best # might of been low - mid #400's at #320ish. I've never seen snatch numbers for him, but they would've probably been low - mid #300's. He was starting after the press was discontinued, which would've been a disservice, as most American lifters used that as a point to make up ground during competitions.
He was smart to stay in Strongman/PL/Highland Games type sports where it's more of a raw, animalistic type strength. I think he would've had problems like Patera did, with technique, flexibility, etc.....
-

To even JOKE about Levrone being in the same strength arena as Kaz is truly embarrassing.

You do realize successful weightlifters, on a world level, usually all begin at a young age, right? To master the crazy technique and all. And the two sports, powerlifting and weightlifting, should actually swap names. Powerlifting places a MUCH greater emphasis on brute, absolute strength, whereas weightlifting (Olympic lifting) is much more dynamic and encompassing of other non-strength specific physical attributes.
Hope this helps.

Free weight press is in a different league than pressing on a smith machine, much much harder to press a bar free weight, also the clip of Kevin
pressing, his spotter was helping him from the first rep, don't underestimate how much easier it is when your spotter has his hands on the bar also, even if he is only helping "a little", help from the spotter = No lift
Levrone was an incredibly strong presser no doubt but not in the same league as Kaz
Hope this helps ;)

Lot of technique involved in weightlifting, I believe Kaz was a football player who switched over to powerelifting, my guess is he would have been
too old to be a competitive weightlifter, also powerlifting would suit his body type better where there is technique involved but also a lot of brute strength.

Yes, exactly.

What was Kaz, about 360? I wasn't saying Levrone could out lift him but lb per lb Levrone probably wins. Besides does Kaz have striated glutes?? I think not, sir!

Kaz at his heaviest around weighed 330 at 6' 3"!
-
He was #320 - 330 at 6' 2" . He never really jumped out of that range. If you know Levrone's weight on the tape, you can maybe figure a conservative comparison adding or deducting around #7 per inch. Kazmaier would've probably been around #290 - 295 at Levrone's height.
Also the Smith knocks off a pretty decent amount of weight, enough that it makes a comparison almost unjudgeable. Kazmaier would've been in the #500 plus range, realistically on a Smith.
-

I always figured him much bigger, maybe I'm mistaken. Hell, I saw Kovacs a couple of years ago and he HAD to be pushing 400lbs. He would dwarf Kaz, hard to believe.
-
strangely enough ive always been able to press heavier with a free bar.... altho alot of the older smith machines arent counterbalanced and the bar weighs much more than 45lb
dont underestimate levrones pressing, he could rep out with 5 plates on the incline at a weight of only around 260....
-
kazmaier p^roblem was grip . sometimes . once seen you never forget he was the first SHW WITH SUCH PHYSIQUE . DELTOIDS AND TRAPS WERE UNIQUE . yes zyrunas is stronger than kaz was but 60 pounds heavier . savickacs didnt powerlift for long .

dianabol

kazmaier in those days 1980 1987 had a v taper at over 310 pounds it was unique then .. then maruis came from poland . and some others .

8 x 45 pounds + Olympic Bar (44 pounds) = 360 + 44 = 404. If the claim of 448 is to be believed, the smaller plates on the end must be 22 pounders. Possible

Didn't he also bench 405 for 20?

Never heard of him, but cant see him giving Rich Froning any problems.

Dude, Kaz would destroy any powerlifter today if he were their age and on a comparable cycle. That guy was an absolute beast. Watch those old World's Strongest Man videos. He dominated so hard that one year the other competitors refused to compete if he competed! Have you ever heard such a thing happen in any other sport? They knew they had absolutely no chance to win against him. I met Kaz many years ago and he is a really nice guy, not at all what you would think the sterotypical meathead weight lifter would be like. I know i am totally blowing him here, but he is one of my heroes. This dude just inspired me so much when I was a teenager to push myself further than i thought i could go.
-
If these freak show acts were the real fit beasts that some of u say they are they'd would be in the NFL.
Not all strongmen want to chase a pigskin up and down a field with a bunch of closet homos patting each other arses for the entertainment of the moronic masses.
-

Nah you can be strong and fit as fuck, but if you're not fast and able to pick the technique up you'd never make it past college.....which is exactly where his football career ended

The coach gets turned on by big hairy bear powerlifting types and other getbiggers like the bodybuilder in a thong type, guess there is something for everyone on getbig.

His bench record is still in the top 10. These guys had bigger balls, less available training info and gear..and just went for it. Kaz got as much from strength as he did from just being mentally tougher then everybody. Couch keep posting this crap..the thong sniffers go nuts.
-

no, its 4 x 45 per side + a 22lb (10kg) on each side + a 44lb Olympic bar = 448lb.

No it doesn't...But he was one of those 10 anadrol a day guys...He read the label that stated up to 10 a day and decided it was fine.lol
Still though, does anadrol give you super joints and connective tissue? I mean, the guy is rounding his back on deadlifts and he is seemingly walking around today. I deadlifted like a guy during my teens and 20s and all i got is a messed up back.
He was stupidly strong drugs or not.
-
I heard that at 50 he could still bench four plates for twenty.

He's turning 60 years old this month. At his PEAK (around 1981) the man was 6'2.5", 340 pounds and arguably the strongest man to ever live. Had he not torn his pecs, bi's, tri's and every other muscle in his body, he would have gotten stronger and stronger.

was good in the 1980,s . yes now zydrunas is better but 60 pounds heavier . kaz was from wisconsin . . once curled 180 kilos .. i heard . a single .

Who makes a 22lbs plate in US that's not a bumper plate?

Kaz, Steve Disalvo and jeff Everson all hung out together. jeff was the weak one with a 560 raw, pause bench.

York did in the 70's - 80's, but they were nowhere near as popular in the US as pound plates. You can special order them now too. My two olympic sets are York iron sets, one imperial, one metric.

the gym I trained at a while back had all 10 and 20 kg plates, which are 22 and 44 lbs.

The great Kaz was maybe the strongest all-around beast to ever live. He along with zydrunas had probably the strongest pressing shoulders of all time

true, york made 22lb and 25lb, they also made both 45lb and 44lb and their Olympic bars were 44lb.

I thought the metric weight bars and plates were rare around 1980. The bars were 45lbs and the 25lbs were common. It was really rare to see a 10kg plate. I stand corrected and I could be wrong about the weight on the bar. It's standard now that the Olympic bars are 44lbs but in the 70's in the US they were 45lbs.

I live in Canada, maybe they are more popular up here. one or two plates aside the dif was minimal, but once you got up to five or six plates for squats and deads, there was a ten - twelve pound difference from standard plates.

Agreed, i prefer an all-rounded strongman with a good muscular physique, like Kazmaier or Pudzianowski, than a giant superstrong statue with fat... I was asking myself, if a monster like Kazmaier did 3 reps with 448lbs on an incline-seated press, how Kai Greene was able to do 495lbs for 3 reps on an incline press, 8 days out from contest in 2011? Something is not right...

the last thing I want to do is defend kai green but, he has extremely short limbs with crazy insertions, which would translate to an incredible mechanical advantage. add to that 10-20x the amount of drugs Kaz ever thought of taking and it may be possible.
also, it is proven that idiots use fake plates for photo shoots, so who knows.
you never know how strong someone is by how they look... I spotted a former squat record holder 3 days before a bodybuilding show (he was shredded and won the overall). he did a double bodyweight full squat for 36 deep non stop reps. pretty freaky.
-
Kaz was doing a seated press, Kai an incline. Big difference in strength on the two lifts.

plus the 2 tens, that makes it at least 425
Looks like 4x45's on each side and a 25 pounder and possibly a collar.
