Williams Moor-Znamensky, also knows as Alexander Vladimirovich Znamensky, was another great (but somewhat little known) circus strongman, wrestler, and weightlifter from early 20th century Russia. Moor-Znamensky is thought to be one of the first strongmen to put over 400 lbs. overhead, a feat which he accomplished in 1895.
