Oldtime Strongman Feats: The Human Link

One of the great traditional "feats" of Old Time Strength is the Human Link.

There's no telling who came up with it first but what we do know is that Strongmen have been perfomring this feat for well over a century -- and because it is very dangerous, always goes over great with the crowd.

Many of the great ones such as Louis Cyr, Warren Lincoln Travis, George Levasseur, Apollon and many others included the "Human Link" feat in their shows.

Here's a look at a few famous performances:

The Great Canadian Strongman Louis Cyr
holds back two draft horses circa 1896


George Levasseur upped that ante with four hourses
as he performed this feat in the Circus


Dennis Rogers, The Pound-For-Pound World's Strongest Man for the feats he performs takes the "Human Link" feat to a whole new level as seen in his great video 336 Pounds of Fury -- That's a Harley Davidson Motorcycle at full blast on both sides!
