What is the heaviest weight ever lifted by a human?

Paul, who was born in Tocca, Georgia, on October 17, 1932, grew up in an unassuming environment. He played football and shown outstanding speed and agility, but it took him a while to earn the moniker “Strongest Man Alive.”

Paul’s super power was first mentioned in print in an edition of Iron Man Magazine published in February 1952. The narrative of their first encounter is told by Bob Peeples, a well-known lifter and magazine writer.

What is the heaviest weight ever lifted by a human?

Paul Anderson, an American, holds one such record; in 1957, he was listed in the Guinness Book of World Records. “Greatest Lift,” read the entry. Paul Anderson raised 6,270 lbs. in a back lift—a weight lifted off trestles—which is the most weight ever raised by a human.

Due to a lack of witnesses, the record was subsequently omitted from the Guinness Book of World Records. However, Paul Anderson was a legendary strongman who, at the time, held the world and Olympic records for the clean and jerk and the squat.

In the realm of powerlifting, one thing is certain: records are broken every year. Just this year, the squat and deadlift records were shattered.
