  • Karl Norberg's Olympic Barbell Feat

    • The Mighty Norseman Karl Norberg could perform many incredible strength feats -- one of which involved a simple Olympic barbell.

    Norberg could do a front holdout with the bar (which is pretty impressive by itself.)     		Karl Norberg Olympic BarKarl Norberg Olympic Bar
    Then, with wrist power alone, he would twist the bar from horizontal to vertical. -- A very impressive feat of forearm strength and highly difficult due to the leverages involved.
