What the f...  :o :o

His liver was 50 POUNDS??

Good Lord...

And his heart was 3x the normal weight - what is normal? 330g?

His gym total was 2,455? Those are Ed Coan numbers for his lifts. Does he have an official total anywhere?

He's an example of why I fear for everyone's health!

I had never heard of this guy - although from reading this article, I vaguely remember reading about him in the 1990 Guinness Book of World Records:

https://www.ozy.com/true-and-stories/the-man-who-lifted-a-freaking-car-with-his-bare-hands/96507/

That article claims he was supposed to be in Stallone's "Over the Top", but died in his sleep before that happened.

Have you watched Over the Top, IroNat?

He did a bit of arm wrestling too. If you watch the film "The Last Dragon", he gets a bit of screen time toward the end as one of the thugs that chase Bruce Leroy around. Tommy Wishbone knew him some also.

After reading your reply, I started watching "Over the Top".

So Stallone was like 175-lb, but beats massive giant men at arm-wrestling?  ;D

Totally unrealistic.

I should watch Rocky IV yet, which came out a year after Over the Top.

Wasn't Stallone supposedly fighting against the juiced up Ivan Drago in Rocky IV? Meanwhile, I recall him being much larger in Rocky IV compared to Over the Top.

How was that transformation not a steroid one?
