He won Olympic gold in weightlifting in 1956 and set multiple world and American records in Olympic lifts such as the clean and press, snatch, and clean and jerk as a young athlete.
Anderson also performed extraordinary feats in powerlifting-type lifts; among his documented lifts are squatting raw over 900 lb (≈ 929 lb) in competition and performing high-rep squats with 700–800 lb in training, as well as deadlifting and pressing massive weights under varied conditions
This workout was republished June/1999 from POWERLIFTINGUSA.
Anderson’s training routines were unconventional for his time: heavy, high-intensity work with frequent maximal or near-maximal efforts on squats and other power movements, often preferring to train near competition weights regularly.
