Bill Kazmaier (born December 30, 1953 in Burlington, Wisconsin) is a powerlifter and strongman from the United States.

Kazmaier played fullback at the University of Wisconsin-Madison from 1973-1974 before leaving school to pursue powerlifting full-time. In 1979, Kazmaier won the American powerlifting championship and the IPF world powerlifting championship. He won the IPF world championship again in 1983. Kazmaier was the first person to bench press over 300 kg (661 lb) in competition .His career best powerlifting total of 1100 kg (2425 lb)is still the record for raw powerlifting.

Anypowerlifting other than raw is GAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY YYYYYYYY.  Fucking bench shirts a joke.   Like giving high jumpers spring loaded shoes.

nope i disagree, any man who benched 661 raw will still have the latent strength to bench 500 at anytime if they keep training even if they are in their 50's, he was doing 12 reps with 500 at the time he did 661.

Kaz can't bench 500 anymore.  Last time I talked to him he had serious shoulder problems and was trying to work it out by lifting lighter.  We usually talk or at least email on our birthday which is the same.

exactly, he may look like he can bench 500lbs...maybe his muscles still can but his joints wont let him. its a common thing for guys who used to be brutally strong...they are still big because of years of heavy training but joints prevent em from going heavy anymore.

The pic is from the Worlds in Gothenburg 1983.

The biggest guy in that pic is the guy with the back towards the cam, Lars Hedlund. Didn't compete, injured his knee while competing in WSM I believe.

From what I've been told, weighed 400 lbs @ cerca 6'5''ish at his biggest, seen pics of him with SHW's of that era, totally dwarfed them.

Bigger than Kaz, but obviously Kaz was a better strongman competitor.

The guy farthest to the left is some weird guy, who always acted the back spotter @ the Worlds, for years. Had glasses that made him look like a pimp. Or a serial killer. Anyone knows his name?

The big black dude is John Gamble, winner of the 275's. Thick as a brick, especially the traps.

Also looks like RDC and Mike Bridges.

I'm wrong, dead wrong about the guy being Hedlund. I see that now.

Here's Lars Hedlund:

Turn up your speakers a little. ;D

One more. The bar bend is very cool. They don't do it anymore... because nobody can do it.
