Hail to the Dinosaurs!
Test your knowledge of Iron Game
History and great strongmen and lifters
of the past:
1. Name a six-time World Weightlifting
Champion.
2. Name a two-time Olympic Gold Medalist
in weightlifting.
3. Name the very first Pan-American Champion

and Olympic championships by training alone,

9. Name the only man to win a World or Olympic
Weightlifting championship in three different decades.
10. Who was the first man to total 1000 pounds in the
three Olympic lifts? (Clue: Steve Stanko was the first
to do so in official competition, but this man actually
did it, an an exhibition, on not one but TWO occasions
before Stanko did so.)
11. Who was the first man to clean and jerk 400 pounds
in official competition?
12. Who is the ONLY Heavyweight lifter who was rated
the very best lifter in the entire world on a pound

lighter men.)

lifting who cold perform a one arm chin -- turn back
flips -- and perform a standing broad jump of 11 feet?
14. List a weightlifting champion from Brooklyn who

The answer to all of the above questions is ONE MAN --

that covers his life, his lifting and his training.
