Over the years, the events used in World's Strongest Man have changed a lot, so it can be a little difficult to give an accurate comparison between competitors of old and the newer strongmen. Magnússon never went head to head with Kazmaier or Reinhoudt, so how are we to know who was the strongest?
        It is difficult to compare the performances of strongmen in some events, like the Truck Pull, because the weight of the truck or the distance of the course varies from year to year. There are, however, a few events that have been used consistently through the years with which one can compare the two eras.

The Dead Lift

        This is a good lift to consider if one is trying to measure a competitor's pure power. It requires tremendous strength in the legs and back, and a good grip as well. Here are some of the best dead lifts ever seen in WSM history:

        All of these lifts (with the exception of Reinhoudt's) were performed as a "silver dollar lift" where the weights on the bar were coins in boxes at each end. This generally provides a slightly shorter distance for the lift and more bend in the bar than with traditional weights. Reinhoudt's lift was on a standard bar attached to the back of a car, and was the equivalent of a 950 lb. bar lift.

The Squat

        This is basically the only event from the first WSM contest that is still being used now. Here are some of the best squats in competition:

        In comparison, the best squat ever managed by Bruce Wilhelm was 750 lb. (341 kg.) in 1978. The squat was never used in any contest featuring Jon Pall Sigmarsson, so it is difficult to compare him in this event.

The Log Lift

        This event has not been used in recent years for maximum weight, but instead for repetitions. Here are the best log lifts from the years that it was an event:

        As this event has not been used recently, with the exception of one qualifying heat in 1994, it is difficult to compare some men like Magnússon, Kiri, or Badenhorst.

The Rock Lift/Barrel Lift

        The rock and barrel lift are similar in that they are both an overhead press of an object on which it is very difficult to get a good grip. Here are the best rock and barrel lifts seen in WSM:

        To put old and new in perspective, the best barrel lift managed at the first WSM in 1977 was 250 lb. (114 kg.) by Bruce Wilhelm.
