Nathan Say Posted February 25, 2002 Share Posted February 25, 2002 What do you know about Paul Anderson squatting 1200? Was it really 1200? I read your thing that said his big backlift was a lot less than previously thought. Did he go to parallel? I keep reading that he had witnesses, so I think that he did SOMETHING with a big weight that day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roark Posted February 25, 2002 Share Posted February 25, 2002 Nathan, I spent years studying Anderson's unofficial lifts, and Iron Game History (U of Texas) published a three part series detailing the results of my study, as well as a book review of The Mightiest Minister (written by Strossen) -the review by Dr. John Fair. I spoke to the man who owned the hotel where Paul lifted etc. Witnesses? There is much confusion as to who witnessed the event, how many witnesses etc. In one case a man that Paul claimed was there taking photos, acknowledges that he in fact was not there, was not taking photos, and did not hear of the event until much later. I do not want to get into much non-grip material here, but will add that the weight of the silver dollar squat has been reported by various sources as 900 to 1,200 pounds.
