  • Gregory Paradise


    • One of the strongest men who ever lived was a man named Gregory Paradise of Hudson, New Hampshire. He could perform single-finger one-arm chins with ease, bend quarters in his teeth and was a wiz at the bent press, having the only distinction of being able to bent-press double-bodyweight.

    Paradise only weighed around 120 pounds but at a professional strength show in Canada performed a bent-press with 250 pounds. After this photograph was taken the dumbbell was weighed at 203 pounds.
