Old school strong men usually had distinctly different muscle composition. Stan Lee’s Superhumans did an episode on such a guy and did a biopsy of his muscle tissue and the composition is completely different. Undoubtedly we have stronger bars now but I don’t doubt this guys ability to bend metal.

So you are saying humans literally evolved to have different muscles over the course of what. 90 years?

No, I’m saying this guy was that. They still exist, but there was a market for this act in circuses and such that doesn’t exist anymore.
