How much did Paul Anderson actually really ever legitimatly squat

[illuminati]

'Natural' in terms of bodybuilding or sport means no use of synthetic hormones, drugs which increase hormone levels beyond what the body for that individual is able to naturally produce.

Yes - I know the supposed meaning - I’m pointing out what a joke & hypocrisy it is.
“Natural” is a half assed term
I don’t take / am against drugs unless I’m prescribed them  Then they are fine.
Just like the nonsense Theraputic Use Exemptions so many sports people have
Yet they are ‘All Natural’.

They claim 1200 but if that was the case he would have been capable of clean and jerking a lot more

He was a fat fucking pig.  Why does anyone care?

Awwwww...Did someone wake up on the wrong side of the strap-on this morning?

Did he have any joint problems later in life?

[sceagacros]

"In 1954, Paul suffered a series of injuries, including a hip injury from pulling a 3500lb safe that had accidentally frozen to the ground. He also broke his wrist during a world record attempt in Indianapolis, and a short time later, suffered multiple broken ribs from a car accident. Paul rebuilt the cast on his arm using steel rods and supports, so as not to hinder his training." How Paul Anderson Became One of History’s Strongest Humans
By Brooke Siem


The safe that was claimed to weigh 3,500 lbs was found when his daughter had it weighed , to weigh about 1,200 lbs less, so in addition to the backlift entry being removed from Guinness due to 'lack of witnesses', the total weight was also much less than claimed.

Did he have any joint problems later in life?

not really since his ligaments/joints were so strong

Just saw this, a legitimate #1200 might happen in the future -

This is after he blew his knee on 1300+ (geared of course) during a training session at Westside, the new knee is nworking out tremendously.

I tend to agree - but only because of hesitance with Vlad's replaced joint, not sure the stability of those under insane loads.

[Sexybeast777]

the most impressive thing is, he did it all without steroids

[illuminati]

Yes of course
And all athletes & sportsmen that beat the drug tests & say they are Christians & don’t use PED’s,
Never Ever Tell Lies.

You carry on believing as you choose
Oh and good for him if he never used PED’s

If he did or didn’t is of no issue to me
Either way he still lifted heavy weights.

Well, they didn't have drug tests back then.    If you get a chance and can see it, there was a film of the first two Mr. Olympias that also has some footage of York Barbell guys and talk of steroid use.  No mention was ever made of Anderson and one would think jealousy would've raised it's hyrda heads over that one.

Me?  I think Paul was clean but only he knows.  Look at Bruce Randall for an example of what weight training and HUGE bodyweight can do for strength.  I don't think Randall juiced either.  But again, only he would know.  Today's "champions"?  I suppose they could claim to have never "taken" steroids and honestly so, because they would be thinking someone "gave" them steroids.  Totally different wording, huh?

Be well, brother!

Look at the absolute double standards & nonsense going on at the olympics / world championships
All major sporting events
They are all clean & all drug tested & all say they are natural 
What more proof do we need.

I’m a realist
I don’t care if they do or don’t use PEDs

I don’t like lies & hypocrisy or them trying to insult my intelligence

I find this whole therapeutic use of drugs situation totally laughable
Oh look we’re 100% Clean & against Drugs
Errrmmm Except when team doctor prescribes them & has a exemption note 
Then they ok to use & wont help my performance 

As you say Wording is Everything.

I understand all too well the hypocrisy and to be honest I never watch the Olympics anymore and that is a primary reason.  The "women's Olympic weightlifting" is a farce.  So too is the men's.  Everything is drugs.  I can't recall how long ago it was that women swimmers finally began to surpass Johnny Weissmuller's records.  Hmmmm...I wonder how?

People don't advance that fast, we don't evolve that fast.  But.  We do respond to drugs that fast.     Sport is nothing anymore.  They took away  Jim Thorpe's medals but let druggies keep theirs and laud them as athletic heros?

I've listened to idiots talk of how these athletes are totally natural because they passed a farce of a drug test.   "Genetic marvels" they call them.  Usain Bolt is just another variation on the theme that Lance Armstrong perfected.   


So long as these mules are exposed for the addicts they are, they can compete.  Women with women.  Men with men.  No "crossovers".  And when they die, no pity.  They've got Coleman's Disease.   It effects the ego in the same way Acromegaly does the pituitary gland. 
 
But when you get down to it, they will be nothing other than addicts against addicts.  Strength can be very addicting, elsewise we would not continue to train in the face of our limits.

if Paul can do it without drugs, so can I

[illuminati]

if Paul can do it without drugs, so can I

Which is it.

1, Be vastly overweight

2, Squat 1200lbs

3, Both the above.

If it’s the 1200lbs Squat I’d pay good money
To see you do that -
When are you going to do it ??

I'm a bodybuilder (perfect six pack, perfect proportions, attaining perfection, bodybuilding, etc) not a powerlifter or strongman (eat all you can eat daily and become 400+ lbs) but I discovered a long time ago that my strength skyrockets, literally, if I ate like a pig, to the point where I gain a lot of fat, my strength gain becomes unusual, this without steroids. I think Paul was the same way (it's a genetics thing)

Good for you - Tell me more
As I know a little bit about strength training.

As By the way I’ve won 3 national powerlifting championships
( it was many yrs ago ) Before I learnt about steroids
My regret is not using the steroids back then as I would’ve had
A good chance of winning a world championship.

Have you won National powerlifting / weightlifting titles ?


I’d say it’s a fair bet my genetics are ok.

I only competed once in powerlifting (USAPL) and yes I won a medal, but nowadays I'm strictly a bodybuilder. I'm lifetime natty though, no steroids

You were commenting on your Genetics for strength

Did you win your weight class ?

Good for you if you choose not to use steroids
Only it doesn’t make you a better person than those of us
Who choose to use

I didn’t when I won my nationals - I wish I had though.

it does make you a better person because it's not cheating, taking steroids is cheating, don't kid yourself. and yes I won my weight category

[illuminati]

Wrong it doesn’t make you a better person for not taking steroids

I’m not a worse person for using steroids as compared to when I wasn’t

Matter of opinion if it’s cheating
& depending in what you compete in there may not even test or have rules against steroid usage.
