John Davis, one of only 3 to win a World or Olympic championship 8 times. This, despite having his career interrupted by WW II, and weighing only 210 to 230 lbs, when all competitors over 198 lifted together. He often defeated men who outweighed him by 50 to 100 lbs. What could he do today with modern technique, training and gear? I doubt we'll see his like, again.

it was actually good technique at the time. Rules were different back then. The bar was not allowed to make contact with any part of the body aside from hands ( and shoulders in the event of the press/jerk..) this made for the lifts looking much different. Also setting the weight back down under control was required as well so that adds another difficulty to how the lifts had to be performed.
