character introduction
is the person with the greatest power in the world today. He can use standard barbell squats 1202 lbs (545 kg), table top squats 2.81 tons, table top leg lifts 37.15 tons. When performing table squats or table leg lifts, buses full of people, trucks full of goods, fire trucks, and even train locomotives have become tools for his performance. In 2003, when he lifted a heavy truck weighing 37.15 tons in front of thousands of spectators in Dallas Stadium, the famous strong man present and champion of the four-time "World's Strongest Man" competition, Magnus Wall Magnusson, exclaimed: "Lewis is simply from an alien planet, and his power can easily overwhelm each of us."
Family Situation
Lewis's father has won several National Powerlift Championships and Professional Leg Holding Championships, and his grandfather is also a famous strongman. Lewis's mother was also born in the "House of Hercules" and was like-minded with Lewis' father.
Lewis believes that family has at least three functions for shaping his strong physique. The first point is genetic factors, but the last two points are more important. Lewis said: "My home is full of strength training books and videotapes. The TV shows we watch are always related to strength, and the chat topics are squats, leg lifts, etc. My father never asked me to do strength training, but he showed all the beauty of the world of strength in front of me. I admired Paul Anderson since I was a child and vowed to be the most powerful person in the world. I think this is not because I desire to succeed or become famous, but because the world of strength is so attractive to me."
Lewis believes that the greatest help to him is to let him use the most efficient strength training method since he was a child, and he has almost never taken any detours. Lewis said: "I can get very authoritative guidance at home. When I was 10 years old, I knew more about strength training than many so-called strength coaches." Almost all of Lewis' family members are strength training experts. They teach Lewis to use various strength training equipment, demonstrate the correct movements to him, and tell him which training methods are correct and which are wrong. Lewis said: "Whenever I see some people spend more time on strength training than me, but because of the errors in the method, they have little effect and even gain nothing, they feel lucky. Half of my strength comes from my family."
Strength Training
Lewis has a famous training principle: be sure to train happily. His father told him since he was a child that no matter what he did, if he did it happily, he would get twice the result with half the effort. If it becomes a burden, the result will be the opposite. Because of this, Lewis has always opposed "ascetic" training. But this does not mean that you can gain powerful strength without hard work. Lewis said, "You should get happiness from high-intensity strength training. If you can't do this, it's better to give up strength training."
Lewis's other training principle is: select training programs. People who are not familiar with him are often surprised that he can do many things at the same time in life. The secret to Lewis being able to do this is that he only focuses on key links in everything he does.The key link in strength training is the core strength project. Lewis believes that many people work hard to practice strength but end up getting nothing. The crux of the problem is that they spend too much time on non-core strength projects, such as bench presses and curls.
Lewis' third training principle is: aim at the ultimate power. Lewis believes that extreme strength and power endurance are two completely different goals, and they cannot be achieved at the same time. For example, a person with 1,200 pounds squats has a hard time winning a 1,000 pound squat race, and the other way around. Strength lifting and Olympic weightlifting are extreme strength sports, and strong man sports are strength endurance sports. Professional squats, professional leg lifting and table weightlifting include both extreme strength events and strength endurance events. Although Lewis had a strong interest in all power movements, he clearly set his goal to: obtain the maximum limit of power. Lewis said: "I often participate in the ultimate weight events in strength and professional leg lifts. But I never participate in the 'World's Strongest Men' competition, or the fixed weight ratio of squats, because strength endurance is not my strength, nor is it my goal."
Athletic Results
Lewis' athletic ability is stronger than many men who weigh only 1/4 of him. His 100-meter time is 12 seconds 26, and his standing long jump is 3.22 meters. In addition to the strength program, he also likes rugby, sprinting and long jumps. When he ran wildly on the rugby field, he was like a rampage tank. Although most rugby players are strong, few people dare to stop him. Unfortunately, Lewis lacks endurance and does not have any tactical awareness, otherwise the NFL would have another "King Kong"-level superstar. Lewis was still eager to compete in bicycle races, but this dream was basically shattered because there was no bicycle that could bear the weight of him.
