  • W.A. Pullum's Plank Supporting Feat


    • Another popular Oldtime Strongman feat was to support a heavy weight with a "leg press" of a wooden plank and a lockout with a barbell with the upper body.

    The great strongman W.A. Pullum was exceptional at this feat and often used it in his performances. Pullum weighed only 120 lbs. yet was able to work up to eventually supporting nine men on the plank and three more on the barbell - a weight of over 2000 lbs.

    You can also see this feat performed by Kurt Saxon, Arthur Saxon and Hermann Goerner.
