Per @slamwrestlingoficial “The six Baillargeon brothers — Jean, Charles, Adrien, Lionel, Paul, and Antonio (Tony) — were the Ice Capades or Harlem Globetrotters of their day, taking their strongmen act from town to town. Dressed in a weightlifting singlet showing off their impressive physiques with a maple leaf and a beaver on the front, the Baillargeons wowed crowds. Charles would pull a bus with his teeth, Paul would lift a horse. They would make human pyramids with Jean or Paul at the base, supporting three or four people above. They brought in acrobats to complement their act.” That horse, by the way, weighed 1400lbs and he’d carry the fucking thing up a telephone pole in a harness, like a maniac. Canadians, eh?
Lumberjacks are a strong bunch. I met the Australian woodchopping champ David Foster at a show over 20 years ago when I was a kid and no man I’ve ever met has ever exuding more raw strength and power than he did. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Foster_(woodchopper).
Oh rad! I did an interview with Arden Cogar a couple of years ago that was really cool. Lumbersports are badass!
They definitely are, though i am surprised you got that sense from that dude- he does,’t look like a man who drips with physical power to me 🤣. That said, forearm strength is a pretty good indicator of punching power as I recall, so I am wary of any man with giant turkey drumsticks for forearms, haha.
