Strongman Joe Ragusa does a… actually I don’t know what you call this one.. a neck lift? … either way it looks pretty extreme. The bar is loaded to 655 pounds and it sure doesn’t look very comfortable. Ragusa was originally from the Bronx but came out to Hollywood and like many strongman-types, got bit parts as a “heavy” in a few movies. As far as strength feats, he was deceptively strong: Joe could do a two-finger deadlift with 515 pounds and backlift an Elephant. This picture was snapped at Muscle Beach (Zabo Koszewski, always looking cool in his dark glasses, peers on at the upper left.)
