I saw Hoeberl at the gym in the 90s. Dude was bigger than Coleman. Probably the strongest man in the world at that time.

I see a lot of people with heavy duty gator grabbers, some perhaps spending their last dime hopping to work up some good karma.

and also people buying big bags of fresh onions almost every day in the grocery store, catched by surprise I try to get a reading on the person doing this, what kind of tightly held secrets are they applying, are they even human?


perplexing observations of 2013 that I never noticed before. I think people are getting more and more intelligent and in-tuned with reality, a lot of ancient knowledge coming to use once again.

Is he dead? If so when and how? Had not heard that!

There was a guy my sister in law was talking to online from our area, told her he was a rich former bodybuilder. He sent her pics of Manfred saying it was him from back in the day. She was all excited and told me I had to see the size of this guys arms. She came over and showed me the pics of him, I then pulled up the exact pics online of Manfred. She was pissed off hahaha!!! Then I called him out on it, he still claimed that they were him and he was now dying of cancer. Hahahah WTF ever!!!

yes alot of people are experimenting with sacred ways these days. not really of the bodybuilder type but people trying to learn about how foods effect them..

this is only some people however 2 percent of the population 20 years ago and 2 percent now are more likely to collide with superior intellectuals just because of sheer volume of them, but the percentage hasnt gone up much i dont think, who knows, but there is just more of them

even the assholes i deal with sometimes start to open up the bit you know the lowly crackhead alcoholic seem to sometimes have attained a grain of knowledge once in a while

Manfred walked into Golds Venice in the summer of 1993. He signed in and walked through the entry gate and walked down the center of the gym. . . we all looked at each other and started laughing. His arms looked so stupid, filled with MCT or Synthol or whatever it was.  Dude really was extremely strong.

Manfred doesn't lift anymore, he's involved in some green energy ventures in Europe as of a few years ago. He use to coach Strongmen and was heavily involved in a start up Strongman organization at one point.

one of chris clark's first customers I remember reading back in 97.

amazing how nobody (that I remember of) was accusing him of site injecting back then (94 or 95 or so?)... at least before "synthol" became a bbing household word.

at least for a big guy, his arms don't look tooooo bad, not like the bloated clowns you see nowdays (or back in the day, like that sissy Brad Hollibraugh... btw, fuck you if you're reading this, punk).

I dunno if he's dead though.

He had 25-inch arms the sort of physique that would have been easy to dismiss Manfred Hoeberl as being a mere bodybuilder, but it only took a few minutes of watching him compete at the 1994 European Musclepower Championship to realize that he really was a strongman—and we would soon find out why everyone talked about Manfred Hoerberl’s grip strength.

(http://www.ironmind.com/ironmind/export/sites/default/ironmind/manfred-hoeberl-2_lg.jpg)

As we described it in the January 1995 (Volume 2 - Number 4) issue of MILO®: A Journal For Serious Strength Athletes: “. . . we had the opportunity to let Manfred Hoeberl give one of our #3 grippers a squeeze.  On first sight, with no warmup or chalk, Manfred laid out the most serious squeeze we have ever witnessed under comparable conditions - bringing the handles down to about 1/8-inch of each other.  We are used to seeing really strong guys get the handles down to about 3/4-inch, but anyone who hits the last 1/4-inch or better on his first try makes a very big impression on us” (p. 26).

Since then, Manfred has used up some of his nine lives in both car and motorcycle accidents, but his prodigious hand strength remains - although he’s not really trained in years, Manfred Hoeberl recently picked up a Captains of Crush® No. 2 and closed it on sight.  Want more?  Manfred told Randall Strossen that he will train a little on the grippers and, if so, our money is on him to once again click a No. 3.

My meager German skills told me:

It happened at night at the site of another accident.  The cars involved in that accident didn't have their emergency flashers on.  Poor Manfred hit a biker (I am assuming motorbike) and dragged him 300 meters (1000 feet, that seems like really a lot) or hit him and knocked him 300 meters.

Manfred tried to flee because his license was revoked.
