I don't know how much weight....

This guy really impresses me. It just goes to show that age does not need to be a deterrent if the will to  improve oneself through physical activity is there. 

.....

.....neither do I know how much weight is here, but it is more than you or I can carry

He is 6'4" and 299 lbs.

as he looked in 2011

And here he is in the National Geographic feature:

Superhuman Strongman ( when he was 57 years )

No longer competing (since 2008) , Odd trains many an up-and-coming strongman, mostly right out of his house's garage in California! 

Here is a link to Odd's Facebook page: Odd Haugen
