Great article on pullum, one of the greatest weightlifters of his time and a true pioneer in the sport.

My favorite old time strongman is the French strongman Louis Uni(Apollon), who lifted a 375lb barbell overhead(clean and jerk) held it up in one hand whilst standing on one leg, then threw it up in the air and caught it in the crook of his elbows. Not to mention the legendary Apollon’s Wheels.

This is the kind of information we need to keep alive – the old-time lifters who could do it all, without the latest equipment and chemicals too many people seem to think they need.

My grandfather lifted weights, performed feats of strength and wrestled as far back as the 1930s. All the basics that he taught me as a kid still hold true today.

Wow the guy could do it all.

I guess they weren’t thinking of William when they wrote that line!
