Shit, I didn’t realise common sense defined the physical limitations of humans.[/quote]

If you think a 7 foot 4 man has the mobility to squat and deadlift world record amounts of weight then you are an ignorant moron.[/quote]

Lol, well he had the mobility to wrestle. It’s people like you that have sat here for he past couple hundred years spouting crap that “no one is capable of” while there’s people out there breaking records. At one point people said no one could do a sub 4 minute mile, now alot of people have done it. I’m sure there’s a million other examples. But I can no longer be bothered to argue with a guy who’s username is “yolo”, really, that says it all.[/quote]
Could you be bothered to argue with me? Because he’s right. No one is going to be deadlifting 2000lbs, and no one 7’4" is going to be pulling a grand. Least of all someone like Andre who had gigantism and acromegaly. Some of the symptoms of acromegaly include muscle weakness, muscle and joint pain, and fatigue. Gigantism also produces weak and malformed bones. He was forced into early retirement from wrestling, because he was basically too weak to even lift himself into the ring.

For people who don’t have gigantism and are 7’4", all of them are fucking skinny. They would need to be literally 500lbs to have their frame filled out appropriately with muscle, and even then, the range of motion on deadlift would be insane for them.

Have you ever done a deadlift friend?[/quote]

please, one or both of you, or anybody else that cares, lay out the detailed mechanics, including joint moments and the linear tension forces the muscles would need to supply to create such moments? hell, a static shear-moment diagram at one point would do.

Then the argument can shift to how much force his muscles could actually create because his entire musculoskeletal system was bathed in insane amounts of GH, etc.

sorry, couldnt stand the yeah huh/nuh uh bs anymore.[/quote]
You aren’t fooling me. You just want someone else to do the work for you.

lol, u got me. that is my usual MO. i really dont care how much he could have theoretically lifted, i just hate reading grown men sounding like 3rd graders.

The man was a true wonder, and that is enough for me.

u can claim logic, experience, divine intervention, whatever you want… But MATH = TRUTH and always will.

I believe a guy 7’ or taller without any medical deformities, probably selective breeding over generations could achieve huge feats of strength which the world has never seen.

Humans are animals afterall, we do this to animals now. We’re no different except we get to choose who we fuck and get pregnant…sometimes.

The best all rounders are naturals who train. Andy Bolton was not trained before he started deadlifting yet he could pick up one hell of a weight and go into the top category of lifters.

Same goes for Brian shaw.

64

Meh, honestly Andre would be lucky to hit 7". He was maybe 7 foot in high heeled shoes but barefoot he was probably 6’10". He’s basically a physiologically gimped Hafthor Bjornsson or Brian Shaw with no experience in weight training. SO OBVIOUSLY HE MUST BE ABLE TO DEADLIFT 1000LBS.

Please, even in his prime I doubt he could deadlift even 500lbs because of his back problems that come with his disorder.

65

he was strong enough to throw the Hulkster around, didn’t look like he had too much muscle weakness to me.

also he was the Dwead Piwate Woberts!

Andre was fucking cool, y’all are just jealous little bitches who’d piss your stained little drawers in the presence of such a man

RIP Andre

66

All of you people bagging on Andre need to STOP!

They have him on film pulling himself PLUS THREE PEOPLE up a cliff hundreds of feet in the air. And he’s not even using his legs. I want to see anyone else do that.

So it’s not inconceivable to think that he was capable of other massive feats of strength.

Strong troll post.

Also, Wilt Chamberlain really could bench press 500 lbs and touch the top of the backboard.

lmao

Obviously, if you are an advocate of ATG (Andre the giant not ass to grass) you are a fan of WWE. So it’s clear that you have a hard time thinking rationally. There is no way that fucking cripple, who is a genetic defect. Could actually perform in any substantial feat of strength.

I see a few people here quoting people close to ATG who said that he was strong…talk is cheap and none of his friends would destroy his image by telling the truth that he was a fucking physical disaster, there’s money to be made!

Show me a VIDEO of him performing something unstaged, and quit basing your perception of someone’s strength off of what their friend said about them. You have the mind of a 11 yr old whose balls haven’t dropped.

Andre had magical powers derived from his pork chop side burns that allowed him to consume ungodly ammounts of alcohol. he single handed caused the extinction of the unicorn and gave immaculate conception birth to chuck norris. to think he couldnt deadlift atleast 5,000 is fucking rediculous.

Andre the Giant’d take you home, tie you to the bed and fuck you from arsehole to breakfast. Then, he’d wake you up in the morning with a cup full of piss slung in your face and slap you about the chops to make sure you were awake enough for him to kick you in the bollocks.

Andre the Giant will tear your fucking skin off, he will wear it to your mother’s birthday party and rub his nuts up and down her leg whilst whistling Bohemian fucking Rhapsody

QUEEN??? Awwwww FUCKING HELL NO!!! Worlds shittiest band that ever existed. The one band in the history of music that would make me happier if they never existed!

Andre the giant wouldn’t have any of the mobility required to do any of the things you have listed so far. I mean look at a picture of the guy, he looks like he never lifted a weight in his life, and wouldn’t be able to in the first place. Wwe got the best of you my friend, I remember being 9 yrs old and glancing at it on tv and thinking to myself “what retard would ever buy into this crap”? Unbelievable cause so many did.

And also, ATG would be full of of one of my biceps :wink:

did you know that 90% of household dust is made of dead human skin? That’s what you are to Andre the Giant

Feeble, I feel nothing but pity when I look at him.

youve been pretty focused on me, but have no clue who I am or what I am even capable of. And you? Do you even lift? You are a soft marshmallow, spaghetti armed twit, as inferior as the whole premise of wwe.

haha. true that.

But…

“Let’s put it this way. I honestly believe that if Andre took a couple of years away from he game to train like the top lifters do…the world powerlifting records in both the squat and the deadlift would fall. No question. Think about it. He already weighs almost 500 lbs, with no lifitng and no help from steroids. Hell, he’d weigh 6 or 700lbs and not be any fatter than he is now, and let me tell you, thats no very damn fat. Hes a wonder of nature. I’ve seen him pick up a 250lb guy like you’d ick up your overcoat. I guess you know what he did to Wepner.”

Ken Patera, 4 time US Natl Weightlifitng Champion and 1st American to clean and jerk 500lbs,
1981[/quote]

he wasn’t even muscular

he weighs “nearly 500lbs with no weights or steroids” as he was grossly fat and abnormally tall.

OP do you even lift[/quote]

and no powerlifters are grossly fat?
