  • Milo Steinborn


    • On October 19th, 1921, at Hermann's Gym in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Alan Calvert, George Zottman and others witnessed Henry "Milo" Steinborn perform the following lifts:

  • Right Hand Snatch: 205-1/2 pounds
  • Two Hands Snatch: 247 pounds
  • Two Hands Clean and Jerk: 347-3/4 pounds


    • He concluded these lifts with six full squats with 402 pounds... even more impressive from the standpoint that he loaded and unloaded the barbell onto his shoulders unassisted!
