Not suitable for the list but a personal favourite was Welsh Olympic weightlifter and former bodybuilder Gary Taylor . Taylor had a tremendous physique narrowly missing on the British tittle in 88 to Dorian Yates , he had outstanding ab development really chunky and thick the type of stuff to look like a character from the teenage mutant ninja turtles , even as a 300lb strongman competitor they were clearly visible . His feats in the gym were legendary -
500lb jerk , high bar squat 850x2 belt & wraps , deads 705 x8x3 ,600 lb push/ press .
