  • The Arm of Apollon

    It has been said that Apollon is the greatest of the Oldtime Strongmen and this picture shows a pretty good reason why.

    This is a rare photograph made of a plaster cast of Apollon's arm when he was in his prime. While Apollon's upper arm is certainly impressive at over 20 inches, it is his 16-1/2-inch forearm which simply boggles the mind.

    It should be no surprise why Apollon was so adept at feats of grip strength.
