Mark Henry
« on: January 26, 2006, 12:14:06 PM »
I saw a video of him deadlifting 930 or 935 in a tested meet. If that is the case, imagine if he stops the WWF and trains fulltime?? we have not even cover the gear yet. He could easily go over the 3000 total. What do you guys think???

I heard that the guy could dunk a basketballl

Old Kaz said that Mark is the strongest man in recorded history.  He said if he actually trained for the strongman that he could set records that no one would ever be able to break.

this is a topic i have brought up several times before. He has a 30" vertical leap and can slam dunk a basketball at over 400lbs. He holds the world record for a drug free deadlift, all the while trainnig for the WWE also. Kaz says he thinks Mark is only at 80%of his potential and could leave everyone WAAAAAAAAAY behind in PL.

He won the Arnold strongman a few years ago and then retired unbeaten to focus on wrestling full time. He pressed the Apollons wheel for 2-3 reps i believe

Okay most of you know I am not a small guy.  Not many people make me feel small.  Kaz introduced me to Mark Henry at the ASC in 2002 or 2003.  I swear this guy is HUGE.  He is so fucking thick.  I felt like a baby

i was watching WWE at the weekend. Daivari is bigger physique wise than the average man - not that im saying hes a bench mark for size though. Anyway he came out next to Mark and you could barely make out he was there. Mark Henry is so fukking big its unreal, and only 15-16% bodyfat which means hes not even obese!

i agree something shady is going on here....
