glenn ross vs mark henry vs OD wilson

[Figo]

if you believed the stories, anderson squatted 1200 pounds raw, ate lightning and shat thunder. 

Do you mean to say he didnt?

[JOHN MATRIX]

paul anderson was the strongest squatter of all time, this cannot be disputed

[Figo]

Anderson was 5'8"? He weighed over 400lbs?

Wasnt he renowned for overhead pressing as well as squatting?

[JOHN MATRIX]

he was 5-8 but not 400lb (in his prime at least) more like mid 300's.
his pressing strength was great but not as dominating as his squatting power.

Do you mean to say he didnt?

yes and no, Anderson was ungodly strong but was notorious for squatting all of his 900lb.+ attempts a couple of inches high, his pressing strength was unreal though.

Mark Henry could/can dunk a basketball, def more impressive then most strongmen.

very true. his clean+jerk record was basically a clean+military press. i don't fight any of his actual recorded feats, but there are too many that come from sources like "my dad saw it in tulsa when he was 13! it's for real!" there's no way he was stronger raw in the 1940s than guys are in gear (and WITH gear) in in the 2000s.

[Scimowser]

He didn't make anywhere near 10 million.  Common mistake from out of hand rumor.

well he signed a 10 year contract at $1 million a year apparently. What did he actually get then?

[hillbilly]

Well every comp i have seen Ross in he has been by far the strongest as long as that event requires no fitness what so ever, log press, squat etc

[Scimowser]

i think the general concensus is that if its a static lift, then glenn is the strongest man in any field. A guy his size has zero cardio ability so thats why he will never win the WSM competition even if he is stronger than Mariusz
