Saw discussion on BB but have never used them myself. I do see a lot of strong men training (online) with bars about the diameter of a Coors can

Fat bar work is a staple amongst strongmen. These guys don't fool around.

Certainly worth looking into...

Read up on how Paul Anderson got to where he did with (extremely) thick bar work, because he had no other option... The Olympic Champion gave it a huge amount of credit for his success.

Amen.

He was strongest man to walk the planet for my money. Dug ditches to perform partials, amongst other things. Things like the former Soviet teams looking on in disbelief. They didn't didn't consider him human.

Nobody even comes close. Even the juice monkeys...

LESSON FOR US ALL: He gave back. Ran a boys school for troubled youth - and got called home many, many years ago.

That's how it works folks:

Learn, share and grow... :)

"Then, up to the bar stepped a great ball of a man, Paul Anderson." And paraphrasing Palmer "The Russians snickered as Anderson gripped the bar which was set at 402.5 pounds, an unheard of lift. But their snickers quickly changed to awe and all out cheers as up went the bar and Anderson lifted the heaviest weight overhead of any human in history."


Wow he went to Furman!

He won at the '56 Olympic's in Melbourne, so this had to be a good 6-7 years before that, I'm guessing.

Monster strength and the face of a baby, still.

One of a kind.
