  • Adolph Nordquest: "The American Sandow"


    • This rare picture shows why Adolph Nordquest was known at "The American Sandow" ~ the likeness was uncanny. The similarities did not end there, however, what Nordquest also had in common with Sandow was great strength - Norquest could deadlift 638 pounds with an overhand grip (among other feats). This was back in 1915 mind you.
