Standsto reason many of the Bulgars smoked because a large part of the general population did as well. Did not affect their lifting. Very strong people.
Ken Patera should be on this list but I understand why he is left out. To me one of the strongest man that ever lived when he was at his best which wasn't long.
Don't agree his smoking and drinking bad habits got to him as well as lifters don't seem to do any endurance exercise after retiring. I see many older men that have muscle, heart and lung endurance into 60s and beyond. How do I know this as I was their in person watching what Bulgarians and USSR did after hours.
Vasily Alexeiev 10 Golds, 8 world championship and 2 olympic gold medals
