Dandurand’s 16-inch Forearm
Posted on Tuesday, November 11th, 2014 by John Wood
Arthur Dandurand was yet another great Canadian Strongman.
It was said that he had a 16-inch forearm at a bodyweight of only 185 pounds and it certainly looks that way in this classic shot.
Dandurand was often called the “Canadian Sandow” and some of his best lifts were as follows:
* One-Arm Press: 115 Pounds
* Two-Arm Press: 220 Pounds
* One-Hand Deadlift: 550 Pounds
* Reverse Curl: 177 Pounds
* Kennedy Lift: 1100 Pounds
In addition to these feats, Dandurand was very good at juggling and bent-pressing human weights. He also could shoulder a 406 Pound truck engine and at a contest in 1908, Dandurand pushed a wheelbarrow loaded to 4300 Pounds for a distance of 23 feet.
