Great site! You can watch some great moments in Olympic Lifting in the "cliporama" section. Watching Anderson clean and overhead press (not jerk) 90KG is something unreal. He put a lot of work into that site. Definitely worth visiting and revisiting.

Thanks for the link, Bill!

Holy crap, check out the clip of Pyrros Dimas in the Olympic snatch demo... that looks so freakin' difficult and painful.

I saw Paul Anderson at a FCA event on SMU campus... must have been late 60's. He put a bunch of people from the audience on a platform and lifted them. He also did something that I can no longer remember - seems like it was a one-armed somethingoranother - that he said was at the "world record" level so I guess it was easy for him to do in exhibition.

Thanks for the post, Bill.... cool stuff!

This is great. Paul Anderson was a legend where I grew up -- he lived there and ran a home for troubled boys. By that time he wasn't in very good health so you didn't see him out much but there was all these funny stories going around, such as one I heard as a kid that he couldn't shave himself because his arms were so big he couldn't reach his face.
