Who is the world's strongest man in the 5"8-5"10 range?

Factual Questions

I’m wondering who has done some crazy deadlift or bench press but who wasn’t particularly tall. See at 5"8 I’d like to know how I stack up against men of extreme strength at my end of the scale. I don’t really want the Stronman tournaments to be mentioned since the way they are set up tends to favour the bigger guys anyway.

I mean in terms of absolute weight moved or squatted or powerpressed or bench-pressed. Which guy has lifted or moved the greatest weight ever but was in terms of height between the range 5"8-5"10? I heard about a guy who was 5"9 that squatted around a ton some twenty years ago but since I heard it by earshot I’m gathering it could be bullshit.

So what I’m really looking for are measured records. Which strength supremo at this end of the height scale has lifted the most?

This isn’t an end of the height scale. Most of the really strong guys you hear about are either 6’5" or 5’6" and under. Just off the top of my head, Paul Anderson, who was 5’6", holds the world record for a squat at 1169 lbs.

Here’s a nice list with physicals stats

FWIW this list says Paul Anderson was 5’9" not 5’6"

Actually this out of that list is a fascinating bio in it’s own right
