He died on August 15, 1994 – two months shy of his 62 birthday. He is listed in the Guinness Book of World Record as the man who backlifted a 6,270 pound weight. This record is still unbroken to this day.
At 5 feet and 11 inches tall and constantly weighing 350 to 375 pounds, Anderson became famous because of his amazing strength. He began weight training during his teens on his own within his family’s backyard to gain size and strength so he would be able to play in his high school football team. He later attended Furman University for one year on a football scholarship, before moving to Elizabethton, Tennessee with his parents. In Elizabethton, he first met weightlifter Bob Peoples, who would greatly influence him in squat training and introduce him around weightlifting circles.
Anderson joined the American team for the 1957 Melbourne Olympics and won the gold medal for Men’s weightlifting. During his competing year, he broke 18 American records, 8 world records, and retired unbeaten and unchallenged.
His best lifts of his career include an 1206 pound squat, a 627 pound bench press, a 380 pound one arm press, a 600 pound push press, and a 575 pound jerk press.
Julia Gnuse, also known as The Illustrated Lady, is the most tattooed woman in the world according to the 2011 edition of the Guinness Record book. She has tattoos in 95% of her body, including her face – unlike Isobel Varley who has 90% of her body covered with tattoo but save her face of the ink.
Born in 1959 in Flint, Michigan, Julia developed porphyria in her 30′s, a condition in which sunlight results in blistering of the skin. To cover those blisters, she decided to get tattoos after a plastic surgeon friend suggested it. She opt for colorful tattoos which covers her scars more easily.
Though her condition has a cure, the side effect could be blindness – a risk she don’t want to take.
Now in her 50′s and a proud Guinness record holder, Julia’s said she started getting tattoos on her legs to cover the blister scars. Then moved to her stomach, arms and back and before long got addicted to it. Her tattoos range from jungle scenes, cartoons to her favourite actors.
