Oscar MarineauA closer look at the Canadian strongman Oscar Marineau, who began lifting weights at 15 years old and retired as a professional strongman some 32 years later. At a bodyweight of 142 pounds, he performed a right hand dumbbell press of 102 pounds, a one hand snatch of 140 pounds, and a backlift of 2900 pounds (along with many others). He often competed against, and beat, individuals of twice his size. His most impressive feat, however, was likely the fact that he had 10 children!

Oscar MarineauOscar Marineau, the great Canadian Strongman is shown here with a unique exhibition feat: that's 850 pounds supported on his back which he took out for a stroll. The two engines weighed 346 pounds each and his son weighed over 150 pounds. In order to get the weights in position in the first place, Marineau had to perform a partial squat. Marineau weighed only 142 pounds himself.
