  • Louis Cyr's Barrel Lifting Feat

    • Louis Cyr's Barrel LiftLouis Cyr's Barrel Lift
    As reported in David Willougthby's Super Athletes book, Louis Cyr could lift a heavy barrel to his shoulder with only one hand by grabbing the chines, tilting it on to his leg and maneuvering it up his body.

    Needless to say, lifting a barrel like this takes quite a bit of brute strength.

    Cyr's best barrel lift was a barrel filled with a combination of sand and water and weighed in at just under 450 pounds!
