245 or so.

I read that Ken Brown holds the world record on strict curl (head and butt against the wall), did 235 in 1991.  Someone may have beat that since then, not sure.  Apparently Kaz did supposedly cheat curl 396 at a seminar...

I actually think he could have done it. It isn't that I don't believe it, it is the energy some people on here put into arguing one way or another. Kaz likely doesn't give a shit whether sarcasm believes him or not and I am not sure why you do.

The only good ones I could find were in thumbnail form on www.altavista.com, however, they were from Mc-Shane enterprises or something like that and no longer available. Needless to say, I would have expected more class from someone that has been on these boards as long as you have been regardless of your penchant for showing off your penis or lying about prohormone use. At the very least you could respect some things I think.

May I ask why it is that you believe you are the end all to all discussions regarding weightlifting? Have you competed seriously in bodybuilding or a strength sport? Do you have an advanced degree in exercise physiology or kinesiology? I am not trying to flame here, but, you come at people here really agressively and often with nothing more than your word as your argument. What makes you an expert here? If it is just part of your charm on here, then fine, but, seriously, what have you done that makes you so ready to come at people like you do?

He could get 315. Think about it. What did he weigh like 280? so his bodyweight and 35 lbs. Not to far fetched for someone with one in a billion strength.

I only say this because when I was a teen at 185 I curled 185lbs for one when I was younger and obsessed with numbers.

I simply don't believe in incredible lifts anymore unless witnessed by many credible witnesses. Their are as many lies in the Iron Game as their are fat cells in Sarcasm's body!

Look at many pro bodybuilders for an example. They lie about how strong they are, they lie about their measurements, they lie about their bodyfat, and of course their drug abuse, etc. Imagine having 19 inch arms, but still so insecure you tell people you have 21 inch arms, pathetic.

Kaz weighed way more than 280...in his prime he was around 340lbs at 6-3.
id say 315 is certainly believeable for him for a few cheat curls. lee priest says hes done that for a few reps one time. Kaz was maybe the all round strongest man ever, weighed 340 lbs, longtime lifter/juicer, id say he was definitely capable of doing 315.

I believe Kaz could do it. We're talking about a guy who bench pressed 315 for 50 reps and could deadlift near 900 lb. A 405 cheat curl isn't at all unbelievable for him.

My damm internet was down for 2 days.  Went into withdrawls.  ANyway.  I have never seen Kaz curl with 405.  I can guarantee you he could have done 315.  Cause I did and I know he was stronger than me.  I did 3 or 4 very strict reps with Ray Mentzer helping me on the last 2 or 3 and I would also have to bend back a bit but not a whole lot.  The way Kaz warmed up with 100's I know he could do the 315.  I also did them on the EZ curl bar.  I didn't like the straight bar cause it hurt my wrists.  I also remember telling everyone on here Kaz benched 405 for 50.  After several people PMed me to confirm I called him.  I was off.  He actually did 315 for 50 and 405 for 27 or 29.

Kazmaier could curl 405, he did a lot of heavy lifts at the FIBO in Essen in 1995/1996.
In the World Strongest Man contest in 1988 and 1989 he did a log lift of 170 kilo (374). He still is a strong and big man.

That dude was unhuman . . . I recall a old WSM contest where they were loading beer kegs and Kaz was throwing them 10 or more feet to make time. I assume the were empty ( still well ore !40lbs ) full they would weigh ???

That is my favorite part ever in the history of WSM.  And the kegs were NOT empty.  He threw them like they weighed 40 lbs.  I remember driving around Honolulu one day.  He was sitting next to me and I ust remember him raising his arm to show me something and the size of his brach-radialus(?) was just huge.  That is a major reason why I always loved hammer curls.  It really made that muscle and your arms look huge.

Here is me a Kaz at the ASC in 2002 or 2003

I'm sure he did it, but he definately used his bodyweight to hoist it up using momentum.  It's not like his biceps did most of the work.

Kazmaier is becoming a Myth in WSM and strength claims.  With all do respect he couldn’t beat Marius in any WSM event.

He couldn’t even beat Magnus ver Magnuson, it is like comparing Arnold with Yates or Coleman.  He has the privilege of being the strongest and the best in the past era but nothing compare top today’s champions

Yes.I agree. Magnus is way more stronger.
But,I am refering about the size and strength relation.
I ask you a question:
OK Magnus is way stronger than Kaz in W strongest man, but how about barbell curl solely? Who is stronger?

Post by: onlyme on September 07, 2006, 02:27:53 AM
I think Bill could hold his own against any of the competitors today.  He had the size and strength and endurance.  And this was way back when the drugs were nothing like they are today.  Kaz is 6'3" and weighed about 330 back in his hey-day in the WSM.  That pic of us together I think he said he was weighing 320 or so.  And his arms are a solid 22" at his peak.  He is enormous in person.  very thick.  Now I haven;t seen him since 2002 or 2003 so not sure what he looks like now.  Like any powerlifter, WSm competitor or BB, drugs are relied on for allot of their progress.  Kaz back then sure took drugs but hard work got him where he was.  He didn't rely on how much roids he tooks.

When Kaz cameback to strongman events and got beat by a couple of the new guys like Jon Pall,it was only because of injuries and muscle tear he had just recovered from.None of them could have beat him in his prime.A friend of mine saw Kaz in the 90s when he came to the UK on a seminar tour and he said he stood in front of the dumbell rack and threw up a pair of 150s,pressed them for 10 reps and put them back down.

Magnus is doing 315 in that clip; that's about where Kaz would be.

Kaz could do 315 fairly strict fir a few i rekcon like Samuelson (that clip is sick!), but 405 i just think is a just to heavy imo.

Just to clear this up, it was 180kg (396.8lbs) and it was done in seminar in the late 80's in Brian Batcheldor's gym in Poole, England. He did something like 160kgX4 and 140kgX8 as a warm-up as well. I'll post more details when I find the British magazine it was reported in.

I once heard that Bill Kaz curled 405lbs with perfect form. He was actually measured at 0.0% cheating. The lowest ever measured at Gold's apparentely. Dont take my word for it, ask Jim Quinn.

Post by: Vince B on September 07, 2006, 04:25:02 AM
You have to remember that a lot of the guys in the old days used to do Olympic lifting as well as bodybuilding. So cleans are not that hard and some guys got to be good at quick movements. We have had curl records in my gym and the best anyone did was 185 by myself in the mid 70s. That was a strict curl. I had no trouble swinging up 225 pounds and I weighed about 220 then. Doug Hepburn set records in the odd lifts back in the 1950s. He was from Vancouver, BC. His best curl is 260 pounds and I think that was a strict curl. The man was brutally strong.

http://www.americanpowerliftevolution.net/Hepburnpage4.html

Keith Jones mentions that he has curled 315 pounds and if he weighed about that much it can be done with a bit of a swing. I doubt anyone can do it with their back against a wall.

If Kaz 'curled' a 405 pound barbell then it would have to be an olympic bar because you would destroy your wrists otherwise. He would need to give a lot of momentum with his thighs and back and virtually clean the bar. I think it is something one or two heavy and very strong guys could do. Especially if they trained for a while to do this feat. Either he did it or he didn't and it has nothing to do with belief.

I am no expert, but just the thought of Onlyme saying the kegs were full blows my fucken mind. You would need to see the footage to believe it. Kaz was throwing them 10 to 15 feet with not even a second and a half between grabbing them. It's inhuman. I say he hold his own against any man to have ever wanled the face of the earth.

I have total respect for Keith's opinions regarding strength, he was there. I'd love to hear Joe Roark's opinion on this. Kaz vs. todays line up.

And yes, Marius is fantastic, I am not saying he is not.

The Beef.
