  • Horseshoes Bent by The Mighty Atom

    • Horseshoes Bent by The Mighty AtomHorseshoes Bent by The Mighty Atom

    The Mighty Atom bent these horseshoes and iron bar at the 1962 York, Pennsylvania Interstate Fair. That year marked his 42nd consecutive appearance at that particular fair.

    These bent horseshoes are currently on display at the York Barbell Company museum in York, Pennsylvania.

    It takes quite a bit of grip and forearm strength to be able to accomplish that strength feat. To see footage of horseshoes being bent by modern Strongman Pat Povilaitis, you'll want to check out 336 Pounds of Fury.
