When you ask people who have been involved in powerlifting for a while who they think the top ten powerlifters of all time are, the list varies. However, there is a consensus by everyone that Larry Pacifico belongs on that list. His accomplishmnets in the iron game have taken on legendary status. He won nine straight world powerlifting championships. During his 18 years of competition, he won a total of 102 competitions. Pacifico has set 54 World Records in his career. He was probably the last powerlifter to be featured in Sports Illustrated. Bill Kazmaier once reminisced "The first time I went to powerlifting meet and saw Larry, I think he was probably six or seven on his World Championships and he was pretty much-how would you say?-a god in powerlifting. He could go to any class that he wanted to. He could pretty much lift whatever weight on the day he wanted to." Don Reinhoudt also said of Larry, "I look at Larry, an idol to all of us here-nine time champion and Larry will always be the legend of all time to us." In addition to being a nine-time world powerlifting champion, Larry Pacifico has always given back to the sport that he loves so much. He owns a gym and does personal training all day. American Strength Legends is proud to present a profile of "Mr. Powerlifting" Larry Pacifico.
