I think Angus Macaskill is quite likely the strongest man in human history. Regardless of whether or not they speak on him I will watch the show if possible. Thanks, brother!
Not sure if I believe the feats attributed to him. They also claimed his shoulders were 44" wide. But when you look at him standing next to other people in photos he does not look that wide.
A lot of measurements are fake.
Brian Shaw's shoulders are supposedly 28.6" wide. Thor's might be a little wider - he might be at 30" in this fairy tale measurement. Mark Henry was "supposedly" measured at 30.5" wide at his biggest.
No way was Angus' shoulders 14 inches wider than the fairy tale measurement of Mark Henry. I scaled his photo below with software and at 7'-9" his shoulder width with the jacket on is about 26.5". Without the jacket probably 24". His shoulders with the jacket on are 40" wide when he is scaled to a height of 12 feet. The dude was scrawny compared to Brian Shaw, Thor etc. As you would expect from someone that tall and means of nutrition, training etc.
I scaled Mark Henry also. He is about 6'-2" tall. There are photos of him next to Eddie Hall and they are the same height. Mark Henry was not 6'-4" tall. When I scale Henry's photo at the bottom to 6'-2" tall his shoulders are 24" wide. 30.5" shoulders are wide as fuck I doubt there is anyone alive with those measurements.
So if they lied about Angus' width then they lied about his lifts. I doubt he could deadlift more than 600-700 lbs.
