“John Kuc was an important figure in powerlifting. In the early 1970s Kuc trail-blazed all-time best poundages as a superheavyweight lifter: he was the first man to squat 900, the first man to total 2300, the first man to deadlift 850.”

Great article. Being from Scranton, I really enjoyed this one on our two local lifting legends.

Not in a meet with judges. There were no meets until the 1960s.
