Goerner The Mighty

The great German strongman Hermann Goerner was known as "Goerner The Mighty" -- and for very good reason.  Among his many amazing feats were a one-arm deadilift of 734.5 lbs and a "leg press" of 24 men sitting on a plank, a total weight of 4123 lbs.  Above, Goerner lifts his famous challenge barbell, which was 330-3/4 lbs. and had a 2-3/8ths-inch handle.  Goerner's challenge was to clean and jerk this unique barbell without moving the feet, something which he could do easily but which no one else was ever able to duplicate.
