When I was a teenager in the 80's, we had a Strongman/Powerlifter/Bodybuilder named Tom Magee who wrestled briefly here in Calgary with the local Stampede Wrestling promotion. He was just under 6'5 and about 275 pounds. He placed 2nd in the 1982 Worlds Strongest Man. (860lb squat, 573lb raw bench, 820lb raw deadlift). He had a unique ascending training style. Lighter weights were lifted at very slow speed. Medium weights in a medium speed. And heavy weights were lifted at a fast speed. This is how he trained. He wrestled briefly in WWE from '86 through '90, and retired from wrestling in '90. He was the freakiest human being I had ever seen. Davey Boy Smith was heavy in to the juice at the time, and he and Dynamite Kid left for the WWF a couple years prior to Tom arriving, and Tom made Davey Boy look small.
