Grant Connors

Grant Connors is a powerlifter and professional strongman competitor from Canada, born on 22 December 1973 and a native of Kentville, Nova Scotia. He has won Atlantic Canada's Strongest Man fourteen times and has competed in Canada's Strongest Man on numerous occasions, so that his name is closely tied to the regional strongman scene in the Maritime provinces. In 2007 he set a Guinness world record for the crucifix hold, holding a pair of 30 pound weights (about 14 kilograms) with his arms outstretched for 92.68 seconds. His recorded powerlifting bests are an 800 pound squat (about 360 kilograms), a 750 pound bench press (about 340 kilograms) and an 825 pound deadlift (about 374 kilograms). The article is short, so this entry records only what it supports about his titles, record and lifts and leaves other results for later sourcing.
