Bill Kazmaier

William Kazmaier (born December 30, 1953) is an American former powerlifter, strongman and professional wrestler. During his career, he set 40 world records across both powerlifting and strongman, and won two International Powerlifting Federation (IPF) World Championships and three World's Strongest Man titles.

In the 1980s, Kazmaier became famous for his claim to be "the strongest man who ever lived" by equaling and surpassing feats of strength of famous strongmen of the 20th century. He won the World Muscle Power Classic, Le Defi Mark Ten International and World Strongbow championships which were all revered for testing static strength and also became notorious for not being invited to the World's Strongest Man competition for four consecutive years.

Widely considered to be one of the greatest strength athletes of all-time, he was inducted into the International Sports Hall of Fame in 2017.
