  • Joe Nordquest


    • Joe Nordquest the famous strongman from Ashtabula, Ohio, performed a number of unusual strength feats during his career. This was all the more amazing since he did it all on one leg, having been in a train accident as a child. Nordquest's feats include: a left-arm bent press of 277-1/2 pounds, balanced on one hand while holding a 100-pound dumbbell in the other and a 388-pound 'shoulder bridge' press. Judging by the picture it's not difficult to see how he was able to move such weights. His brother Adolph was also a great strongman.
