Powerlifting Pioneer Profiles : Pat Casey, The Original "Power Bodybuilder"?
A brief history of the first man to OFFICIALLY bench press over 600lbs and squat over 800lbs in sanctioned Powerlifting meets.
Over six foot tall and with a best bodyweight of 335lbs Pat was possibly the first "power bodybuilder" .
In an era when 15 mgs of Dianabol a day was considered the norm,not 3000 mgs of testosterone as a base,he lifted weights that only the elite of today,nearly 60 years laster,can hope to lift.
They certainly don't make them like Pat anymore.
