Giants of modern days strongmen lift massive weights
A New York man, W. B. Curtis, reportedly lifts 3,239 pounds with a weight-distributing harness in a December 20, 1868 demonstration, with ancient and modern strongmen like Milo and Maximinus cited for feats. Louis St. Cyr, a Canadian, is hailed as possibly the strongest living man for lifting 3,536 pounds of pig iron in Berthierville in 1888, plus other record feats, while early builders like Joyce and Van Eckeberg are noted for notable demonstrations of strength.
