RiotGrip Posted July 10, 2002 Share Posted July 10, 2002 He has always amazed me, I wonder what he could have done with a #3, an elite, or even a #4. I'm sure he would have mashed a #3 on his first try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roark Posted July 10, 2002 Share Posted July 10, 2002 Norberg was born Jan 5, 1892 (not 1893), and died in 1983 (not 1976). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiotGrip Posted July 10, 2002 Share Posted July 10, 2002 So he was 91 when he died? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roark Posted July 10, 2002 Share Posted July 10, 2002 Assuming he died after Jan 5, 1983, yes 91.Ironman reported his death in the Sep 1983 issue; Muscular Development in the Jun 1983 issue. MILO Jun 1997 says he was age 90, but no death date is given. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 103-1023791186 Posted July 10, 2002 Share Posted July 10, 2002 Karl Norberg,was the man, I believe that while he was alongshaw man,he used to go up to people,and say how much do yoy way,and just hoist them overhead,makes you wonder what he could have done if pushed,truely one of the greats.i also bet it will be a long time before his hub lift is equiled.

Nathan Say Posted July 10, 2002 Share Posted July 10, 2002 9 INCH WRISTS!?!? That guy was an ogre! I didn't know he could do more than that hub lift, that's what he's really known for after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiotGrip Posted July 10, 2002 Share Posted July 10, 2002 Yup, Natural strength was Norberg's claim to fame. The hub lift was just iceing on the cake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
