  • David Prowse


    • A look at David "Darth Vader" Prowse at the time when he was the Heavyweight lifting champion of Britain. On this particular occasion, he was going to attempt to lift 700 pounds to break his own deadlift record of 678 pounds but the stage he was on was deemed unsafe for supporting such a heavy weight. Prowse lifted 530 pounds and performed several other feats of strength as an exhibition instead. Wag Bennett and John O' Farrel are shown judging on either side.
