Arthur Snell - The Northwest HerculesArthur Snell, The Northwest Hercules, does one-finger clean and press with an 85-pound dumbbell. You will have to try this lift to fully appreciate it.
In 1948 Snell opened the very first weightlifting gym in his home town of Tacoma Washington: The Cascade Health Studio. He could also squat 300 pounds for 50 reps, an impressive feat in any decade.
