      There was a couple pages in the Guinness book dedicated to backlifting. Pretty interesting. I guess Paul Andersons 6000# one has been discredited.

          Yes, Anderson’s backlift was removed from the Guinness book more than 10 years ago because of a lack of supporting evidence. The purported lift was researched by weightlifting historians like Fair and Roark and the conclusion was that the lift never occurred.

            I believe my reference was like a 1967 version I got from a second hand store when I was 8 until I got the 2016 version (LOL)
