  • Tromp Van Diggelen - The South African Hercules
  • Tromp Van Diggelen - The South African HerculesTromp Van Diggelen - The South African Hercules

    Tromp Van Diggelen survived a sickly childhood to become a traveling performing strongman and one of the true unsung heroes of strength history.

    His performing feats were certainly impressive (such as the 210 pound "barrel lift" barbell press above) but it was his work behind the scenes which he should be remembered best.

    It was Tromp Van Diggelen who discovered "Max Sick" and had him change his name to Maxick.

    Van Digglen also managed Joseph Steinbach and Hermann Goerner and also founded The British Amateur Weightlifting Association (BAWLA).
