Strength World Record..

[WesleyInman]

Zydrunas Savickas, one of the top guys in Worlds Strongest Man just set a new record today with his Log Press of 480lbs...

This is an overhead lift, first you have to clean a log with handles built into it, and then press it overhead...Similar to Barbell Clean and Presses, only easier then a barbell to clean, but harder to press...

This guy barely uses his legs...

Although bodybuilders may never touch a log, I know I didn't until I started competing, 480lbs, is still 480lbs...Its pretty insane.

Here he is doing 462 a few years back, no video can be released yet of the 480lbs...

I believe I hit a 325lb log when I weighed 215lbs...Which isn't phenomenal, but is not horrific...But it was a Push Press...The record in my weight class is 350lbs, but it was a Jerk, which is a different and easier lift. It is olympic style that now is allowed in Strongman, so the 350lb mark won't last for too long.

Log is one of my worst events, I can clean it like nothing, but pressing it with my lack of flexibility is all triceps

I want to say Savickas weighs in the range of 375lbs on average
