Why did they call him "Mr. Deadlift?" - I think this picture makes it pretty clear. Each day Bob Peoples came home after a long day of farming, took off his shirt and just trained -- and he got damn strong doing just that -- a lesson that a lot of modern lifters could stand to learn. In 1949 he set the deadlift record at 725-1/2 pounds at a bodyweight of only 189 pounds.
