    • The Osman TrioThe Osman Trio

    Three great strongmen formed the act known as the Osman Trio. Wilhelm Turck was a butcher by trade who became the World's Weightlifting Champion in 1898. He could perform a two-hands anyhow dumbbell lift of 279 1/4 pounds: 140 lb. DB in right hand, 139 1/4 lb. DB in left hand.

    Franz Stahr was one of the first strongmen to lift 200 pounds overhead with one hand.

    Georges Jagendorfer was a very popular strongman who performed with Cooke's Circus. The trio often used elaborate stage weights in their performances around Europe.
