Roark Posted November 16, 2001 Share Posted November 16, 2001 Does anyone live near the Lowenbrau in Munich? If so more details about the huge object located there would be appreciated. It weighs 616 lbs, has a single handle on top, and the lifter stands above it to deadlift it as it passes measuring marks. Paul Anderson got a rep with it. Chuck Vinci did ten reps so fast it was said to resemble a yo-yo going up and down. This was about 5 times Vinci's bodyweight. Can anyone post more details?

Guest woody36 Posted November 16, 2001 Share Posted November 16, 2001 Joe. Did they lift on the same/ or different occasion? I looked up info on Chuck,and it gave his deadlift as 600 pounds i presume for a single.Would the stone lift be of a partial nature given the ten repetitions and His 123 pounds bodyweight.

Roark Posted November 16, 2001 Author Share Posted November 16, 2001 Ray, Yes same occasion. Photo S&H Jan 1956 p 60 shows Anderson's lift. It appears that in his case he would grab the handle just below his knee height. In Vinci's case, given his short stature, he probably grabbed the handle at or above knee height, giving him of course an advantage in beginning leverage. Interestingly, the text does not indicate that Paul's effort was a record. Whoever lifted it highest on the measures beside its travel path was considered the best. So a very tall man, would have to bend over farther to begin, but had the best chance for height of lift. Paul, of course, was not a tall man.
