Strongest Man in the World Promises Monster Feats at Garden
New York AP profile of Jack Walsh a 43 year old 5 foot 10 inch 200 pound challenger who calls himself the Strongest Man in the World. He claims to lift 700 pounds with one finger and has lifted a 4000 pound elephant and a 5000 pound platform atop his back. Walsh will perform April 29 at Madison Square Garden Felt Forum and seeks to break his world record by lifting a 700 pound motorcycle with one finger. He contrasts his ligament based leverage with Russian rival Vassili Alexsey’s biceps dominated strength. Walsh grew up in Trenton and earned the title Strongest Man in the World in 1950 and 1960 through feats in weightlifting and karate. He has faced stunts including stalling a DC3, holding a running automobile, and being run over by a 10 ton truck.
