Just seen this and feel highly sceptical - what's others thoughts?
Among Hermann Görner's many feats of strength were the following notable lifts:
Deadlift – 360 kg (790 lb) with overhand hook grip. 380 kg (840 lb) with mixed grip.
One-handed block deadlift – 333 kg (734 lb) on 20 July 1920 Dresden, Germany
One-handed deadlift – 330 kg (730 lb) on 8 October 1920, Leipzig, Germany
One-handed deadlift – 301 kg (664 lb) on 29 October 1920 for which he won a Guinness World Record[1]
Deadlift – 270 kg (600 lb) using just two fingers of each hand, normal and reverse grip was used, on 30 November 1933, Leipzig, Germany.
Deadlift – Among Görner's best deadlifts was a lift of 830 pounds (380 kg), rather unorthodox insofar as the makeup of the weight lifted was concerned, it was done in the following manner. Goerner took a bar weighing 441 pounds (200 kg), had two men stand, one on each end of the bar, then deadlifted it to full competition height and held it for several seconds to the satisfaction of the judges. Görner was 42 years old at the time.
Pinch lift – 50 kg (110 lb) on 10 July 1934, Leipzig, Germany.
Clean and Press – 177.5 kg (391 lb)
One-hand snatch of 169.75 lb (77.00 kg) barbell with 2 3/8 thick handle
Leg pressing 24 men, total weight 1,870 kg (4,120 lb), on a plank with the soles of his feet, 1921.
At Dresden on 25 July 1920, Görner lifted the enormous weight of nearly 200 kg (440 lb) overhead in the Two Hands ‘Anyhow’ style, performing the feat with four kettleweights in the following manner. He first swung with the right hand to arms length, two kettleweights, one weighing 110 1⁄4 pounds (50.0 kg). and the other 99 1⁄4 pounds (45.0 kg). Still holding the bells overhead, he then bent down and picked up with the left hand a third kettleweight weighing 110 1⁄4 pounds (50.0 kg), which he then swung to arms length and transferred to the thumb of the right hand. Then, still holding the three kettleweights overhead in his right hand, he lowered his body carefully and with the left hand picked up the fourth kettleweight, which he slowly swung to arms length. The combined weight then held overhead for the referee’s court was, as has been stated, no less than 430 English pounds, or 195.5 kilograms.
