I'd like to know the exact make and material of that frying pan. If he could do that with a cast iron skillet, watch out! For those who mention how he's shrunk in size, "sarcopenia" affects everyone as they age, and the only way to fight it is with resistance training.
I was referring to bending a cast-iron skillet. Cast-iron is thicker and harder, and much less flexible than aluminum. Even if you could generate the force necessary, your bones can't withstand more than 1200 pounds of momentary force no matter how it's applied in any given situation. People, who are mentally-ill or under the influence of certain drugs, have broken out of hospital restraints or bent anchored steel bars (as in a jail cell), at the costs of muscle tears and muscle fractures.
Cast Iron would break for what I've tested, and wouldn't require the 1200 lbs unless they are a lot thicker, I've rolled 4 teflon frying pans together at the same time (180cm/5'11'' height for 140-145 lbs weight), and can only roll (more similar to a bend actually) a thick steel bottom induction pan (have all on video, usually did feats live), and I guess that strength would be enough to break the cast iron, because when I bend steel bars, the cast iron ones or the ones with a lot of carbon, snap/break, the others just bend, they are just harder than the regular steel (the ones with a lot of carbon) to bend, but once the necessary strength is applied, they snap. The strength I used to bend a thick steel frying pan I guess was only around maybe 700/800lbs or something, it seems to me, but not sure. It was a lot LOT harder than 500lbs wrenches.
@oldpreach Roids would've helped him get to that size quicker than he would've had he not used them (I don't like the term 'clean'), but when you google image search him, he's bigger than amateur bodybuilders in his late 50s. I don't think he's lost a great deal of size (he's certainly smaller than today's elite strongmen, but who isn't?), he's just less cut and thus looks a bit smaller most likely.
@313bruce They're not boxers. I don't know how they would do in strength events, prime against prime. People have had computer tournaments to determine who was the greatest boxer ever. I remember, Muhammed Ali (Cassius Clay) - 1963 - 1967 won one, and Jack Dempsey - 1918 - 1922 won another.
@Maddolis Okay, thanks for that. Another thing that came to me today was that when he won the WSM in 1980, he was 28. To look like he did at that young of an age is pretty suspicious to begin with. Only he knows I guess. I have not looked into any of this at all, and do not know what if anything that he has said about roids in his life.
@Maddolis Oh, sure...he is a big guy to begin with. And, I am sure that at age 58 he is doing just great...and I sure can not roll up frying pans. But, what I am just wondering is if back in the day, roids had anything to do with him being HUGE like he was.
Do you think he was on the roids back in the day ? I mean, he has really shrunken down to where it is hard to believe that he was that big back then. Can 20 years really do THAT to you ?
@myles755 ok i just watched him and i have 2 things 1) ummm...hes younger so he can be more active the bill 2)bill kazmaier will have derek poundstone knocked the fuck out if they where the same age if the got into a fight...
Alot of respect to this gentleman. Truly the strongest man who ever lived.
Kaz is like Achilles. People will always remember his name!
Billy kaz! Living legend. Strongest man who ever lived! My hero
The most AMAZING man on the Planet!!! Thank you rajak2 for posting this video of Bill.
the only strongman who acually unrolls it

Awesome Video. Kaz Destroyed that frying pan, ripped the damn handle right off!
Funny as hell when he dropped that barrel on OD Wilsons head back in 89 lol!
I saw him do that at the 2001 Mr.Olympia Expo, dude is still a beast
He also used to be a star in World Championship Wrestling (WCW) in 1991.
Pfft, that's nothing
Chuck Norris can fold a frying pan into an origami swan.
Bill has still got it
Hes a realy good person...:) Good to see that in a man his size and strength
@rajak2 The amount of force it would take in that short range of motion would break human bones.
@myles755 ok...this might sound werid but we got off at a bad start can we like start over and stuff? i just hate being in fights...
@PaintKyZR Origami is Japanese, not Chinese.
@CameronBlaze123 huh? 0.o
Pfft, Chuck Norris can fold a frying pan into an origami swan.
This guy is probably going to live past 130...

Can still do it! Far out!
the strongest man who ever lived
Is that a disposable kodak camera?
you should consider buying a new cam.
good vid kaz is the best!!
wow just wow...
wow...just wow
@Berus777 How drunk were you at the time of this post?
@oldpreach He's still pretty massive.
Can't be all that difficult if Uri Geller can do it !!
@Scyllax i didnt say they where boxers...i ment if they ever got into a fight bill would won...in my opinion..
I'd imagine cast-iron would fracture rather than roll like this aluminum.
Imagine someone starting a fight with this guy, not knowing who he is? They'd get rolled up like that frying pan.

wow that's awesome! and at his age!
the guy is truelly a legend, and even today i would have shit myself if i met him in a dark alley!
G.O.A.T.
@CameronBlaze123 ok...
@Maddolis Okay, thanks for that. Another thing that came to me today was that when he won the WSM in 1980, he was 28. To look like he did at that young of an age is pretty suspicious to begin with. Only he knows I guess. I have not looked into any of this at all, and do not know what if anything that he has said about roids in his life.
It's a structural thing. I don't think the hand and arm can generate that kind of force, and if it did, the bones would break.
@Maddolis Oh, sure...he is a big guy to begin with. And, I am sure that at age 58 he is doing just great...and I sure can not roll up frying pans. But, what I am just wondering is if back in the day, roids had anything to do with him being HUGE like he was.
u just saw it happen, and u doubt it?!!!
Who was he delivering this speech to?
Do you think he was on the roids back in the day ? I mean, he has really shrunken down to where it is hard to believe that he was that big back then. Can 20 years really do THAT to you ?
Can you make me a burrito?
@myles755 ok i just watched him and i have 2 things
1) ummm...hes younger so he can be more active the bill
2)bill kazmaier will have derek poundstone knocked the fuck out if they where the same age if the got into a fight...
@jingeshan24 CUZ HE ATE IT. haha
no guy will ask him about his daughter im sure rofl
Paul anderson is the strongest man
Get an auto focus camera. Lame.
Gotta say, im a little tired of all the chuck norris jokes. Although I use to do them all the time.
By the way, I can and have rolled up an aluminum frying pan.
