Who was the best person that competed in weight lifting?

Answer 1

His name is Dick Austin and He benched 400 with a shirt when he was 76 and 315 without the shirt.

I just saw him bench 348 at 78 years old at the Maine power lifting championships.

He did not bench a competition bench over 300 at 76 and his 348 at 78 was a

"shirted" lift

Tom Sisk lifted 308 in World competition in Dec 2012 at 76 yrs old and remains the

oldest lifter to bench press over 300 lbs "raw"

Answer 2

At present, the world's oldest weightlifter is Sy Perlis. He is over 90 years old and competes on a regular basis.

Answer 3

Gorge foreman was the oldest to win the heavy weight belt

Answer 4

Arnold, Franco Columbu, Mark Henry, the list could go on and on, these three are a personal favorite, Ronnie Coleman ain't bad either...
