Paul Anderson-The Strongest Man

After only three years of competitive lifting, Paul Anderson had become a national hero and world renowned as
“THE STRONGEST MAN OF THE CENTURY”.  In 1956 he traveled to Melbourne, Australia, were he won a gold medal in the Olympic
Games; he was the last American heavyweight lifter to do so. By 1957 he had established 18 American and  9 World Records,
and in June of 1957 he lifted 6,270 pounds in a backlift: a feat most believe will never be equalled.
 
Many experts have described this modern-day Samson as the strongest man who has ever lived.
On February 29, 1992, in Orlando, Florida, at the first USA Power and Strength Symposium, Paul Anderson was recognized as
THE STRONGEST MAN OF THE CENTURY.

Since the late ‘50s he has traveled thousands of miles each  year sharing his message: love of God, Country, and 
the free-enterprise system. In 1961 he and his wife Glenda established the Paul Anderson Youth Home, which 
provides Christian rehabilitation for young men who would otherwise be sentenced to juvenile or adult penal institutions.
