Bill Kazmaier - Worlds Greatest Strongman
« on: February 21, 2006, 09:39:22 PM »
Bill Kazmaier is the World's Greatest Strongman! He is a philanthropist in every definition of the word. He gave his life to the lord jesus christ and has spent the last 15 years touring the country reaching out to children. He opens their eyes and ears with great feats of strength, opens their hearts with his testimonial of the strength of love, and saves their souls with the word of god. He has toured with the YMCA, a Strength Team, Strive, and MET-Rx around the country reaching out to Armed Forces, Business Executives, Children, and Lost Teens alike, just trying to do the one thing he promised he would do as he won his third Worlds Strongest Man title: Give Back.

Bill Kazmaier is not only an exceptional human being, he just happens to be the strongest man to ever walk the earth, save one: Jesus. In a time when only 5 men in the history of the world had benched 600 lbs, he did 600 FIVE TIMES RAW! He set numerous records, including World Record Total, Deadlift, Bench, Overhead DB Press, Thomas Inch etc... just to name a few.

His Total sets him apart from the rest of the powerlifters. 2425 is undoubtedly the most amazing lift every accomplished. Gary Frank's lifts were suited @ 2800. Gene Rylacheck with a suit gets 400 lbs OFF HIS BENCH ALONE! No one has ever combined the three lifts in such a dominant manner, and in a time when the norm was 1gram a week, not 10grams a week with Slin, GH, IGF-1, PGF2, Myostatin Inhibitors etc... Bill Kazmaier was a man amongst boys and his prowess has yet to be touched today in the realm of Powerlifting.

Bill Kazmaier was also the Greatest Worlds Strongest Man Competitor to ever walk the face of the earth. He competed once and got 7 1sts, 2 2nds and a third. There has never been such a dominating performance. He doubled 1005 Dollar Deadlift like it was a joke. He tossed the implements when others had to run with them. He squatted over 900 lbs when a shadow like Mariusz could only rep 700 7 times (not to mention Mariusz's 595 bench.)

youre forgetting Mariusz is outweightd by about 50lbs, and his squat is also around 900. That said, Bill is a freak of nature that we probably might never see again

if it was based on just pure stationary power then Glenn Ross would be number1. None of this bullshit of picking things up and running with them, just lifting the heaviest weight you can on the spot. Hes not called The Daddy for nothing

saying that, you have to take into account Mariusz' insane bodyfat percentage. You see guys like Ross, Henry, Pfister, Girard etc with 2-3+* the bodyfat of Mariusz and he still blows them away. Hes only 28 too

something tells me you know what Bill's dick looks like.


Orgasm, go ahead and rip Kaz now. I suppose he has "monster triceps" in your book. I suppose your bigger than him and would intimidate him in the gym.

Yeah, I meant Sigmarsson  :-[

And it's not a spelling issue it's just that I get those last names mixed up, they sound similar in Icelandic.

in theory, if you took Kaz in his prime and threw him in with the guys today, with all the equipment and performance enhancing drugs there are now what would he be lifting? This is under the assumption that he responded to all the new stuff very well

kaz would be right at the top with the equipment 1,000 bench 1,200 squat and high 900 deadlift.i had the pleasure of meeting kaz in december as he does motivational speechs.he was truly inspiring as did a lot of strength feats.he must have been about 330 to 350 since i'm around 310 and he was much bigger then me.many people overlook kaz's hand strength which is among the best.he bent a 10 inch 3/4 of inch galvinized steel into a complete u with the sides touching.he also bent one of those steel rods from the wsm into a fish.

Kaz was the greatest but there's no way he would have deadlifted in the high 900's, he might have been able to do 910 or so, and his squat with equipment would have been around 1020-1030.

do you know kaz has already deadlifted 907 without a deadlift suit and that was 23 years ago.no question he would do 1200 he was the world recorder holder in the squat.as a matter of fact he held the record in the bench press,squat and deadlift.the man is the strongest ever to walk the earth.the stuff he can do now at 52 is amazing.how many guys can bend a 3/4 inch galvinized steel bolt very very few.all i can say is wow :o i was just at lowe's the other day looking for pennys and bolts to bend.i got my hands on some of that galvinized steel man.i've been working with those captains of crush the 2 and 3 and i couoldn';t even make a dent in it.john brookfied mr hands says most powerlifters have weak hands well kaz don't.i shook his hand and felt the power.brent mikesell can squat and jeff lewis and garry frank can then there isn;t a question that kaz can lift it.i mean look at that pic that guy posted the muscle on that guy is unbelivable those traps.no less then don reinhoudt said kaz was the strongest that ever lived.

like i said i have all the respect in the world for Kaz but i go only on  PROVEN COMPETITION lifts not training bullshit heresay, there is no fucking way that Kaz would have squatted 1200 to legal depth, his official best was like 930-935 with a suit, not a suit like they have today but it was a suit and anyone will tell you that deadlift suits don't add much to the deadlift, his OFFICIAL best was 886 and with some specialized work on it he may have hit 910 or 915.
