who holds the record for most weight lifted
Paul Anderson (weightlifter) The Guinness Book of World Records (1985 edition) lists his feat of lifting 6,270 pounds (2,850Â kg) in a back lift as "the greatest weight ever raised by a human being".[15] Anderson turned professional after the 1956 Summer Olympics, and so many of his feats of strength, while generally credible, were not done under rigorous enough conditions to be official. Nevertheless, Guinness Book of World Records did cite him in its 1985 edition for a backlift of 6,270 pounds. This became the basis for his reputation as the "World's Strongest Man".[16]
