hey Billy did you ever see the issue of MILO where they went and filmed Gary Taylor training? the guy did a casual 700x3 olympic squat rock bottom, inclined 455 for 3, jerk pressed 500 and did some 100 pound db front raises all in the same workout as some kind of demo, dude was a beast.
The guy was amazingly strong.I remember in the WSM when that samoan guy pressed some weight and did a dance after he got it,then Taylor took like 20lbs more and pressed it like a toy and mocked the guy.Had he not gotten hurt,he would have won more WSMs.Plus his build was on par with Marius'.Unreal traps,pecks,delts.Truly an all time great and VERY underrated.
Anytime a guy can go from strength sport to strength sport and be world class,it just shows pure strength.Guys like Henry and Taylor are great at powerlifting,olympic lifting,WSM[Henry won the Arnold one year]and Taylor even bodybuilding,thats a sign of greatness.Henry is now going to try and break grip records.There is nothing either of these guys cant do.
One thing about Anderson.The guy squatted 900 three times a day for a month at exhibitions raising money for his boys home.He did this with dress pants on and dress shoes.No gear at all.Think about that, 900 three times a day for a month.
