Louis Cyr, a Quebec-born French Canadian, in his prime was famous the world over for feats of incredible strength. Eventually he was crowned the strongest man in the world... measured the strongest in all recorded history.

He wooed his large following not only with his Herculean strength but also with the showmanship with which he presented his incredible feats." - From the Olympic Sports Official Album, Montreal, 1976.
