Sort of on thread - about 20 years ago I went to a Bill Kazmaier Semina at Atlas gym in Alfreton, he made an open challenge to anyone in the gym that he'd curl a plate more than anyone for double the reps they managed. Atlas was a pretty serious power lifting gym back in the 80's one of the guys managed 140K for 5 pretty loose form but got them, Kaz loaded 185K and got 10 solid reps it impressed the hell out of me! I think he'd stand up well given the same training and supplementation to any of the modern strength athletes.
cheers

would have loved to have seen bill Kazmaier curl such huge weights man I bet that was something special 185k, cant even dead lift that.

on a more serius note whats with all the completly random and unrilated garbage.
still I dont have to worry about skin cancer whilest I ogle brittany

i agree mate those types of posts spoil the forum, if you want to sell start up a website..
YEAH BILL KAZ that man was huge his traps are by far the biggest i have seen.
savickas is on top of his game right now i would love to see him back in the strongman again. those weights they lift are massive. have a look on youtube there are some real good worlds strongestman and other strength videos on there .

HI

I did look up some of them, my god I had forgotten just how good and enigmatic KAZ was, when he shouts his traps tense his eyes bulge out of his head WOW.
feel bad for not putting him through now.


nobody else going to have a go?
