80 years of age, bloody hell. I'd love to know what his fitness regime, diet, rest and just what he did to remain healthy and live such a long life. I wonder what his strength was like in his later years.

Sad news. I fondly remember the many articles he published in the York magazines years ago. He was a good pal of the mighty Paul Anderson.

Nick I met him on a few occasions and always a class act. The museum is truly awesome and spent a lot of time with him there and the kids I coached enjoyed the experience.
He was also the first ever world superheavy powerlifting champion.

Hey Nick if you get a chance do one on Eddie Giuliani, he is the dude that jumped into Arnold’s arms at Golds gym in pumping iron!

I first heard of Terry Todd back in 1995 when I started watching The World's Strongest Man competitions. He featured in several early ones and they were playing reruns of them.

Back in the mid-90’s when I was at UT-Austin, I took a strength training class with Terry’s wife Jan. Through her I met Terry. I didn’t know them well but I could see the passion they had for the sport and the true warmth and caring they had for those who passed through their gym. I wish I’d paid more attention and lifted harder back then. RIP Terry.

A true renaissance man. His career as a strength authority overshadowed the fact that he was the first world superheavyweight powerlifting champion, setting records in the deadlift and total. Said to have greater hand strength than his friend and contemporary Paul Anderson, there are mindblowing photos of him doing bent rows with a 500 pound barbell. Oh, and he went to the University of Texas on a TENNIS scholarship.

I was lucky enough one Wednesday evening to share hamburgers and onion rings at Hut's in Austin, Texas with Dr. Todd. A true gentle giant and, without a doubt, the world's greatest storyteller.

Very nice tribute. Just watched episode one of Legends of Strength on Netflix, which featured commentary from Terry and Jan Todd. I did not know that he had passed.
