He is 91-years-old, Second World War veteran and at this age he has the jaws of steel. Mike Greenstein is a giant of a man. He can pull a truck uphill using only his teeth. Also known as Mighty Atom Jr he has perhaps the strongest jaws and neck in the country. It may be surprising for many, but definitely not for Greenstein because for him the showman style and absurd strength runs in the family.

Mike is the seventh child of Joe Greenstein, the original Might Atom, who was one of the last great Vaudevillian strongmen. Hence, from the very beginning, Mike followed his father around the country and learned the family trade.

To celebrate the Fourth of July, he demonstrated that he still has teeth and jaws of steel by dragging his Buick down 48th Street in midtown New York City. Greenstein used the very same leather bite pad he made for himself nearly 75 years ago, and began tugging on the chain, it didn’t look good for the old showman.

The 3,800 pound didn’t budge. He pointed at the man behind the wheel to take his foot off the brake. Once the car was free, he was then able to pull the car, slow at first and then at a faster pace. Obviously, at the age of 91 he doesn’t quite have the energy he used to have, but he has been taking much care of his teeth since childhood by brushing them with Kosher salt, just like his father taught him.
