}} Douglas Ivan Hepburn (September 16, 1926 – November 22, 2000) was a Canadian strongman and weightlifter. He won weightlifting gold medals in the 1953 World Weightlifting Championships as well as the 1954 British Empire Games in the heavyweight division. He is also known as the first man to bench press 400, 450, and 500 pounds (raw). During the 1950s he was publicly known as the "world's strongest man" for his many feats of strength. Hepburn has been inducted into the Canadian Olympic Hall of Fame (1953), Canada's Sports Hall of Fame (1955), and the B.C. Sports Hall of Fame (1966). ==Early life== Born in Vancouver with a deformity to his right foot (club foot) and a vision distortion called (cross-eyes), Hepburn had to go through surgery multiple times during his childhood.〔http://www.naturalstrength.com/2011/10/mighty-doug-hepburn-by-walter-wadas.html〕 He began lifting weights as a high school teen-ager at the Vancouver YMCA, and upon dropping out of school, tried to find work that he could balance with his lifting. Having escaped the Second World War because of his foot, he set about becoming the strongest man in the world.〔
