Paul Anderson: Legacy

Лучший!!!

standing side by side to him was an experience he was a presence like no other

I knew of him when I had just come out of school 1964. Those days media coverage was very limited. He was actually a tremendous person and lived the life of a real Christian. Glad I saw this video today. God Bless from South Africa.

The Doug Heffernan of powerlifting.

People that don’t know anything about the great and late legend Paul Anderson will say he is no one special boy are they wrong he was beyond great and special to all of those that don’t know him and what he stood for

This was so great! Praise you Jesus!

God rest Paul's soul. He didn't give up. I love how the mother just made up her mind to create a legend and fed him accordingly. Well done.

INSPIRING WHAT A GIFT THANKS FOR SHARING

Sick as a dog but still kicked everyone's ass in the Olympics. Religious people are driven. It's people like him that made you Americans great, remember and emulate these kind of people.

Great video

And drug free, steroids started il 58/59 York barbell club

I hate to break the bad news but lifting weights is only good for super short distance running, even so adding MASS never made anyone faster. Silly. Especially power lifting.. I'm former Washington St. Record holder for the 600m run, and current state record holder for deadlift at 160 pounds and the two activities just don't mix.

On that incredible Olympic lift, was that there was no momentum push at all...straight strength from a standing position....I remember Paul Anderson growing up....today strength lifters physiques are from from his...but he didn't need a physique, just faith....boom!

Should have a trophy, how to be a class act athlete.

The religiosity is a bit over done, but it's cool to see what this guy could do.

He came to my father's high school in Georgia in the 1960s

Dudes like the real life King Pin.

What a beautiful soul and inspirational story ... glad people are finding more out about his story

Wow. I've always hated kristains and Muslims and what have you...but I hate them more now..lost so much respect for him after this

Great Paul the hero

This is an excellent tribute to Paul Anderson and his faith in Jesus Christ. Thank you for producing it.

Our spoiled professional athletes take a knee...not to pray but disrespect fallen American heroes

This man was born with the Hercules gene. The most powerful unit of a man of all time

Hell of a Man he was....

Why do people still lean on religion. Fuck me. Like sure, you can think what you want, but it was his genetics, nutrition and training that made him strong as fuck. Thing is, if he were atheist the commentator wouldn't go on a tirade about how the cosmic energies of the universe aligned to allow him to perform the lift. He just did it.

God gave Samson awesome along with Paul your victory belongs to God

This video blessed me so much and is very inspiring, thank you!
Jeremiah 9:23 Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom,
and let not the mighty man glory in his might,
let not the rich man glory in his riches;
24 but let him who glories glory in this,
that he understands and knows Me,
that I am the Lord who exercises lovingkindness,
justice, and righteousness in the earth.
For in these things I delight,
says the Lord.

Paul was strongest person ever. Won 1 Olympic gold medal. If he didnt turn professional to support his home for troubled youth Paul would have definitely won gold in 1960 & 1964 Olympics that would have given him 3 gold medals in a row. A feat that would never be matched. Greatest strong man of all.

The mightiest minister. Still the greatest man ever was.

I'm a distant relative of his. 7th cousin I've been told. A man named William Anderson and his family moved to Toccoa, Georgia in the 1830s and helped found the Antioch Baptist Church there. The Andersons were poor farmers or public works employees into the 20th Century. At some point my lineage and Paul's separated. My grandpa and grandma, Glenn and Inez Anderson came from Toccoa like Paul. They told my Dad about the Paul Anderson connection and that's how I know. I'm glad Paul did so many great things for this world and brought a good name to the people of Toccoa. I wish I could have met him or have a stronger lineage, but I'm thankful to have the same bloodline as this beautiful man. Rest in peace Paul, you deserve heaven.

He's big z then

what kind of car was he lifting?

Gods Creation...

The fact that Paul Anderson had a regular childhood and great parents shows He was one of many few that knew the great spirit.

Wow, that opening was stunning! That’s a man of God!

When I was a little kid, all of us boys (yeah, we knew the difference between boys and girls back then!) used to worship this man and strived to condition our bodies to some degree, some more than others.

Religion is a curse for humanity. It is responsible for more suffering than any other con ever devised. The fact that modern people still believe this nonsense is not only ridiculous but dangerous as well.

Jesus Loves y’all very much! Never forget that

His thighs were 33 inches!!! My waist is 32!!! 😂

What a heart warming story...thank you.

6270 lbs. is an awesome feat.
Sampson, in Gaza, ripped the town gates including two doors, two posts, and the bar keeping the doors closed, the stone lintel across the top out of the ground. The mechanisms Samson lifted would have easily weighed several hundred pounds (likely a huge underestimate) and were securely anchored to the earth. Many of the ancient gates were also covered with metal or at least reinforced with metal bands, yet he ripped those gates and all attached out of the ground where they were anchored in stone sockets as easily as taking a Sunday walk. And he carried them several miles away before he dropped them.

The force needed to rip the gates and everything attached to the ground, to the city walls would easily have exceeded 6270 lbs.

Yet, Paul lived as Sampson lived to the very end, a Hero for G-d!

Does anyone know his workout regimen?

Natural politician. Most gregarious, charismatic, and happy. We're Georgian, so daddy met him several times. He was most caring and endearing.

What an amazing guy. And he looked like he was just one giant muscle!

I went to a speech he gave in 1979, he slammed a nail barehanded thru a 2 x 4 , I grabbed it and got him to sign it and it’s still on my shelf today

what!? The youth home is still going!? This is amazing.

Amen
