This man Thomas Topham was the strongest man ever, Topham supported 784 pounds on his midsection---and heaved it up and down repeatedly---with his head on one chair and his heels on another. His feats were witnessed by the Royal Society of London. His voice was so deep he didn't sound human (more testosterone than can be achieved today with drugs) and on autopsy in 1749, his tendons and ligaments were triple the thickness of a normal man. He could have run dragster circles around any modern feat of strength, he could tear off a rope with bare hands, lift 170 kg overhead with one arm, could pull a horsecar, and many more things you can read here

He was also a Mason and im convinced he was not born that way but used black magic or something like that to get there, his strenght was above human limits
What makes me think more on this is the fact he killed himself after his wife was unfaithful to him, and never had kids
He died at 49 years old but his wife, besides wounds, didnt die
I think this guy is pretty much paranormal

World squat record is 1268 lbs, i can believe someone can move 700something with their torso.
What's more spooky is this 1-ton boulder found in greece with 'x lifted this above his head" written on it. Real heruclean shit

Dude
Not even a 120 kg guy who could squat or deadlift 800 lbs could support 700 lbs on midsections while NOTHING under them but just head and shows on a chair each one
Dude was real hercules, he could bend iron by hiting it on his arms, that freakish, from devil only
He was buried in the church of St. Leonard's, Shoreditch. Shortly there after he was spirited away by the Surgeons for dissection.
This man also wrestled the 6 best wrestlers of london and they all were in the flood in a matter of seconds

Louis cyr who is vox populi the strongest man ever lived was probably not even the 50% of strong topham had
Maximinus trax, neither
Keep in mind, topham never trained...
