Doug Hepburn was a Canadian Olympic lifter and Strongman. He was also the first bench press star. Doug was the first man to bench press 400lbs in 1950. Over the next 3 years he also became the first man to bench press 450lbs, then 500lbs, then 550lbs. King of the bench. He also won a Gold Medal at the World Weightlifting Championships in 1953 and gold at the 1954 Empire games. He wrestled for a while as well as performing incredible strongman feats. Another who could lay claim to being one of the best strength athletes of his era.

Impressive stuff indeed.

One can only imagine just how much more he and those of that time period cioukld have lifted with more modern technique/groove. He was (*and this is in no way dissing him, it's a testament to just how bloody strong he really was) by modern standards hardly bending the knees at all, just hoisting the weight upward to the shoulders or overhead for the snatch. Paul Anderson lifted in a similar fashion. So did Doug Hepburn, though he was further exacerbated by being born with a club foot and a childhood surgery basically fused that ankle altogether. Just brutally strong badasses of a bygone era
