Victor Delamarre

Notre race canadienne-française, surtout dans nos campagnes, est demeurée
une race robuste et forte, parce qu’elle est une race jeune, frugale,
profondément morale et chrétienne. Dans la région saguenéenne, particulièrement,
il n’est pas rare de rencontrer des hommes doués d’une force physique
remarquable.
” (Source : ” Victor De Lamarre, le roi de l’haltère “, C. de la
Roche, 1924)

Taylor-made for Strength
His corpse was studied by a local university and they found had a spinal width of 4 inches, twice as large as
contemporary strongmen and
that his tendons had
been twice the size of a normal human’s. Thicker tendons from birth means a MUCH
greater strength potential.
