STRONG Life Podcast / Iron Roots Ep 21: Jan Dellinger Pt 5 — York Barbell Equipment, Ken Patera, Bob Backlund, Bob Hoffman

Jan Dellinger is the last living man who worked under Bob Hoffman at York Barbell. He shared an office with John Grimek. Part 5 of 7 in this series.

In this episode we cover the York Barbell equipment itself, Ken Patera's insane strength numbers before he ever stepped in a wrestling ring, and the crossover between York, Bob Backlund, and the pro wrestling world.

Ken Patera was the first American to Clean and Jerk 500 lbs. He's the only American to ever Clean and Press 500 lbs. That total still stands as the highest ever posted by an American weightlifter. Then he went and became WWF Intercontinental Champion.

This is old school iron history straight from a man who lived it.
