4. Old-Time Strongmen:

   • Old-time strongmen performed unbelievable feats like bending a horseshoe, holding a young woman in the air, or one-arm bent presses with up to 300 pounds, without modern supplements or anabolic steroids. Their performances often took place in local shows or circuses 4.

These feats not only display immense physical strength but also the ingenuity and showmanship that accompanied strength displays in different historical and cultural contexts.
