Ameen Abouhamad – The Bedouin Samson

Here’s a strongman you never heard of: Ameen Abouhamad – The Bedouin Samson. Ameen and his troupe of acrobats rode with the Buffalo Bill’s Wild West show from the sixth season onward. Ameen figured out a major problem of the strongman game — he lifted people, not weights — just as impressive without having to haul tons of iron around. It was said that Ameen’s best effort was to support 15 people — no small feat, especially considering he weighed but 175 lbs. himself.
