If you know the history of strength athletics and competitions, you know that you are looking at history's strongest man, Paul Edward Anderson (1932-1994), born in Tocca, Georgia.
He did "raw" (no straps, no belts) what few could do with modern protective gear, did awkward lifts later deemed too dangerous, set records that will never be broken, won a gold medal with a dangerously high fever... you name it, he did it. The strongest guys on the famous Muscle Beach (Venice, California) could lift just once weights that Anderson did for casual repetitions.
None of this is any disrespect to Milo of Croton, Angus MacAskill, Louis Cyr, Arthur Saxon, Bill Kazmaier, Mark Henry, Haftor Bjornsson or any other legend of raw power. It merely puts in perspective Anderson's greatness when I say that, in that rarified air, he stood alone, and the true question is: Who is history's second strongest man?
Paul Anderson later became a minister.

Robert Oberst Pics: Some Beefcake, Some Cute
I borrowed some pics from Robert Oberst's instagram (a former World's Strongest Man, he played Cousin Karl Montgomery in Righteous Gemstones Season 3)
He wants to "get back in shape."? He looks pretty much in shape now.
Halloween. Oberst is the donkey, and his kid is Shrek.
What is he pouring on his Cocoa Pebbles?
The rest are on Righteous Gemstones Beefcake and Boyfriends

Watching world's strongest man, and a lot of them are bald.
I guess one punch man is right, they do trade their hair for power

Is he the strongest man in Silbry? Or something more? Here's Eursolon (Bear) he's hungry for honour... and maybe those little cucumber sandwiches. Played wonderfully by Lou Wilson!

One of the things I love about OPM
Is that everyone is 'just some guy' at the end of the day.
No matter how freakish their powers, they're just human beings, with human problems.
Admittedly, some of those problems need unusual solutions, but they're human just the same.
Right, Saitama?

Do you ever think Geto showed Gojo all the mundane things non-sorcerers do? Like Gojo probably grew up pretty sheltered due to possessing the limitless and six eyes. The Gojo clan knew how important he was and given the assassinations of previous users I'm sure they kept him on a tight rope.
So I can't help but think about Gojo meeting Geto for the first time and the two of them going on missions together at jujutsu tech and Geto showing Gojo all these super mundane things that he never got to do as a kid.
Like taking him to his first drive-in movie or his first concert. Taking him bowling or to arcades. All things that Geto did on the regular before attending jujutsu tech but which Gojo never got to experience.
