Training - "Henry Steinborn might not have invented the squat style subsequently named after him..."

8/21 - squats, calf press










ChAoS & PAIN: Baddest Motherfuckers Ever: Henry "Milo" Steinborn: "Henry Steinborn might not have invented the squat style subsequently named after him, but he was definitely the greatest of all time at it.  Lacking a rack out of which to squat, Steinborn loaded up a barbell with 553 lbs, up-ended it, dropped that quarter ton onto his back at the bottom of a squat, and powered out of the hole with it.  No person before him had ever come close to that record, and it's only been in the last decade or so that anyone has done so since (IAWA World Records).  Steinborn was so far out ahead of his peers in the squat that at one point the richest man in the world at the time, Jean Paul Getty, took notice of Steinborn and ended up paying him a considerable sum when Steinborn busted out 33 reps with 315 at a bodyweight of 205, presumably after betting him that Steinborn couldn't break 30 reps with 315 (Strossen 5)." 
ChAoS & PAIN: Baddest Motherfuckers Ever: Henry "Milo" Steinborn: "Milo weighed around 170 when he was 92.  Here, he's in his 80s and looking better than 3/4 of the people in any gym you visit."

  1. That is Sig Klien not Henry "Milo" Steinborn. Sig Klien was one of a kind... never got out of shape no matter what his age.. which is most impressive feat!
