We cannot leave out this cowboy: Hoss Cartwright Dan Blocker, who was 6-foot-4 and weighed 320-pounds when the show began filming, played the role of Ben’s second son, Hoss Cartwright. Hoss was portrayed as a sweet and gullible guy. In reality, though, Dan Blocker was the complete opposite of the clueless Hoss. He had a master’s degree and he worked for the US Army during the course of his career. Tragically, he passed away in 1972 at the young age of 43, just 19 days before the production of the 1972-73 season was scheduled to start. A big part of Hoss' character had to do with his large physical dimensions. Dan Blocker himself was an exceptionally large man - and always was. He weighed 14 pounds when he was born and was the largest baby ever born in his town in Texas. During the filming of the show, especially sturdy horses had to be used for shooting of his riding scenes, since ordinary horses had trouble carrying him, with one even collapsing under him after he mounted it.

Dick the Bruiser: 'World's most dangerous wrestler' Dick the Bruiser By Steve Slagle Richard "Dick The Bruiser" Afflis was an early NFL football star turned pro wrestling legend...one of the key wrestlers during wrestling's incredible boom after World War II, and with out a doubt one of the most influential brawlers ever. Dick the Bruiser originated, and personified, wrestling's beer guzzling, cigar chomping, tough-as-nails Bar Room Brawler toughguy character. From the 1950's and 1960's, through the 1970's and early 1980's Bruiser was a force like few others within pro wrestling. Quite simply, he faced off in some form or another against virtually every wrestling superstar for over 30 years. In the past, it was once joked in wrestling locker rooms that no matter where you had wrestled during your career...until you'd faced off against Dick the Bruiser, you couldn't really call yourself a true pro wrestler...

After Dick the Bruiser came this man.... " You want some ketchup with that a** whooping?" " Put an S in front of Hitman, and you have my exact opinion on Bret Hart.” “Tune in next week same Stone Cold time same Stone Cold channel.” “You don’t suck because these people say you do, you suck because Stone Cold says so.” “I’m gonna open up a can of whoop-ass on you.” “Washed it down with one beer, two beers, three beers, a shot of whisky, a margarita, a bloody mary.” “Nobody, especially Vince McMahon, tells Stone Cold Steve Austin what to do and that’s the truth because Stone Cold said so.” “And that’s the bottom line because Stone Cold said so.” “You piss me off (Donald Trump) I’ll open a 8 million dollar can of whoop ass and serve it to ya.” “You can talk about your Psalms and your John 3:16. Well Austin 3:16 says I just whooped your a**.”

Some of the old time actors who had solid builds- like a bear- Anthony Quinn, Clint Walker - Night of the Grizz, Ernest Borgnine, George Kennedy... obviously they weren't body builder types, but none the less pretty solid for their day and age in America ...

www.menshealth.com/fitness/a32237884/hafthor-bjornsson-1036-pound-deadlift-training/ Watch Strongman Hafthor Björnsson Deadlift a PR on the Way to His World Record Attempt - This was his last heavy pull before a world record attempt at 501 kilograms on May 2. Strongman Hafthor Björnsson has continued to train while quarantining in his home country of Iceland, setting up a home gym in his garage. He recently trained online with fellow Strongman Martins Licis, and he's prepping to attempt a world record 501 kilogram deadlift on May 2. That's approximately 1,104 pounds—a weight that no one has come close to using a standard barbell since Eddie Hall's tremendous pull to set the record at 500 kilograms (1,102 pounds) in 2016. Björnsson shared footage of his most recent training session (his last heavy deadlift day ahead of the world record attempt) to YouTube. He decided to take it easy and stick to his training plan—and he still pulls an astounding 470 kilograms, or 1,036 pounds. "We're getting ready for a heavy, heavy, heavy pull, a heavy deadlift," he says. "This is the last deadlift before 501 kilograms. Doing 470 kilograms for one rep. And we're going to do a backed down set of 400 kilograms for 3 reps." And he's ready to get to it. "I'm feeling good, feeling strong and excited. Now's the time to shine, baby," he says. He starts his lifts at 170 kilograms, working his way up to 220 kilograms, 320 kilograms, 400 kilograms, 440 kilograms with smooth, easy pulls. Finally, 470 kilograms. After showing off the plates on each side of the bar before his lift of 470 kilograms, he jokes, "They might be plastic. You don't know!" Jokes aside, Björnsson gets down to business. He nails the deadlift easily, then lets out some triumphant bellows.

Bjornsson means - "Son of the Bear" - how perfect is this? Look among the Carnivora...,. the bear is the wrestler / weight-lifter among them. Hafthor Bjornsson breaks world record with 1,104-pound deadlift. Hafthor Bjornsson set a world record in the deadlift on Saturday, hoisting 1,104.52 pounds (501 kilograms). The 31-year-old set the record in his native Iceland. Known as "Thor," the 6-foot-9, 425-pound Bjornsson broke the previous record of 1,102.31 pounds (500 kilograms), set by England's Eddie Hall in 2016. *Edit and add: I watched him do this lift on TV yesterday. He even makes it look easy.
