Check out the link on Albert Beckles. He competed in body building championships until he was 62.\n\n\nHe's not just a fluke. There was a study done in the late 80's or early 90's where a group of researchers went to a nursing home to start the residents (70 years old and above) on a weight-lifting program.\n\nThey started with half pound weights and worked their way up. After several months, they all felt extra energy and some were even able to walk without the use of their canes.\n\nI'm not aware of any follow-up data.

Well in simple terms Back lift means to lift a cricket bat in the backward direction before attempting to play a stroke. A high backlift usually derives more power. A low backlift derives more accuracy in terms of middling the ball. The higher the back lift the more chances of hitting the ball hard but also mistiming it. Great strokemakers always had a high backlift. The highest backlift i have ever seen is of Lance Klusner of South Africa. His back lift almost took the bat to a vertical position backwards.\n\nMohammad yousuf does not have a very high backlift. It is moderate and normal.\n\nComing to the second part, supersub and powerplay rules had been implemented for a period of 11 months on a test basis about 1.5 years back. The supersub rule now no more exists and has gone for revision. The powerplay is now a part of one day cricket. It is very simple. There are 20 overs out of the fifty where only two fielders can stay outside the 30 yard circle. Among the ones who are inside, two have to be in a catching position. There is one lot of 10 overs and two lots of five each comprising a powerplay. The fielding captain can decide when to use the 2nd and the 3rd lot. The first generally is used from overs 1-10.

Greatest male athlete of all time - Jim Thorpe. Jim Thorpe is the only person in history to win gold medals in the pentathlon and the decathlon in the same Olympics. He was one of the greatest football players of all time (the only player to be named to both the Pioneer Era and Modern Era All-Star teams), a major league baseball player, a scratch golfer, an excellent tennis player, a competition class surfer, a top swimmer and a professional basketball player (pre-NBA). And he did it without steroids.

There is a well documented instance where Lucy Lawless lifted a man. He was comedian Hal Sparks and you can see the photos here:\n  http://www.sparksfan.com/pics_lucy.html

Henry was billed as the "World's Strongest Man" after he qualified for the 1992 Barcelona Olympics Weightlifting Competition, where he finished tenth in the super heavyweight class. After the WWF sponsored Henry in the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta, he was signed to a ten-year contract, an anomaly in pro wrestling. Trained by Stu and Bret "The Hitman" Hart, he debuted at In Your House X in on September 22, 1996, defeating Jerry "The King" Lawler. So technically he was actually the World's Strongest Man at one time!

"A good big un will always beat a good little un"\n\nNo contest has to be Ali - when he fought Bob Foster one of the greatest light heavy weights at 6 foot 3 inches with a huge reach and super knockout power in 1972 it was a boy against a man and it finished with a knockout in the Eighth after Foster had been floored 7 times.

Even though he did not break the world record, I think what he did was awesome. How many people can say that they can 1st live underwater in a fish tank for 170 some odd hours straight--then (without resting, eating or anything)become chained and hold your breath and remove the chains at the same time. Plus staying underwater for over 7 minutes. That guy is amazing. He definitely didn't fail in his task, he just didn't get as far as he wanted to go.

The Undertaker. He knows how to give and take a serious beating.  He's a dyed hair, white haired old man too.  Nobody has more charisma than the Hulkster though.  Rey Mysterio is the best per pound.  Angle is the biggest jerk.  Eddie Gurrero was super cool most of the time.  The Big Show is a monstrosity at 500 pounds.  Bautista was a likable powerhouse.  There have been many excellent wrestlers over the years.

Wilt Chamberlain was. He could do what he wanted against any player in his prime. Even as an old man, he dominated Kareem Abdul-Jabaar in 1972. Just to prove he was not one dimensional, he even went out one year and won the assist title. Bill Russell is the greatest as far as teams go. He won 11 out of 13 world championships. Earl Manigault would have been the greatest ever but drugs got to him. He was a playground legend in NYC for years.

Right now, is Mark Henry. Hulk Hogan was stronger when he beat Andre the Giant now at 55 he can beat others by experience. Sly never competed and Arnold was a body builder and built every muscle in his body when he was Mr. Universe.
