Pat Casey is probably more famous for the record in 1967 when he managed to bench press 615 lb. Pat also broke another record when he squated more than 800 lb in another official contest! Imagine someone of his size doing a weighted dip with 380 extra pounds…Well, that’s exactly what he used to do.

Heavy Squats by Pat Casey
Dips by Pat Casey, not weighted in this case
Bench pressing more than 500 pounds might be a life goal for someone, but not for Pat Casey
If you are looking to become very strong & massive like old strongmen, some of these books will get you started.

I was Pat’s training partner in 1964. We trained at Bill Pearls Gym on Manchester (?) Ave in LA..Great times, great training. On a friendly competitive note, I remember that Pat & I regularly competed with Dallas Long & Bill Thurber. I remember well those dip bars pictured here. On those same bars, I once dipped 255 for a photo session with Cliff Swan & Doug White. Saul Shocket
