Holger Kuttroff died today while performing squats. He was surrounded by his strength team. He was capable of a 4 inch below parallel Olympic style, raw squat, belt only of 840-850 lbs at age 40. Working 40-55 hours of heavy labor during night shift as a butcher. I don`t know of anyone in strength history with such an immense workschedule who could do that. He is remembered and deeply missed by countless brothers in iron whose life he touched. People loved this jovial giant. Many in Germany will cry when they get knowledge of his passing.

I never ever met a man with a more genuine friendliness than Holger. Despite his oxstrength (raw paused bench of 600 as a nonbench specialist on several occasions) he treated people with respect, warmth and care. He never spoke a bad word about anyone and helped in establishing many powerlifting careers by coaching anybody that showed true interest-regardless of talent. Those whom you met will remember you.

You made a huge impact in your short life. We will miss you, Holger.
