Heres something I found when I googled him. Big dude!


Name :
Serge REDING

Date of Birth : 23/12/1941 in Auderghem

Died: 
28/6/1975  in Manilla (Phillipines)
at the age of  34

Occupation :
Librarian in the national library

Category :
Super heavy weight.
His bodyweight went up to +140 kg!

Length : 
172 cm (5' 8")
 
Reding is known for his huge muscularity. 
If you study the pictures and if you look at his bodyweight compared with his length then it 's obvious that he's one of the most gigantic weightlifter ever.

Some body measurements I found:

Chest: 142 cm
Waist: 120 cm
Hips: 122 cm
Thighs: 79 cm
Arms: 52 cm
Neck: 50 cm
Calves: 51 cm
