I don't know much about weightlifting records. If you Google the subject, you can find articles that tear his claim apart. He apparently did the lift in his backyard by piling junk on a table he built, and then lifting the table. And then weighing the junk. Maybe he made an addition mistake. That article mentions a safe that weighed 1,200 lbs less than he claimed it did. He claimed three people were witnesses, but at least one of those witnesses said they were not there that day but just heard about it later.

He was a strong man. There are plenty of official records out there of lifts he did, and he was an olympian. Nothing to be ashamed of.

But 6,270 lbs? That's 3 cars at once. No way.

The weight of a car depends on the type of car, how it's made, and the combined weight of included features. It differs from car to car.

Yes. But even small cars are around 2,500 lbs. A mid size car is more like 3,000

During the Big One, WW II, some people were about getting the job done...

Most people do, but that letter only works from the top down. If you're at the bottom, or even the middle of an organization, that letter would tag you as not being a team player, trouble maker, and kill your career.
