The Day ''230kg/507lbs Log Lift W.RECORD'' went up (almost) 3 x Times !!

- In April 2018 the World’s Strongest Man was Eddie Hall.
He came into the World Log Lifting Champs (Event 1 of Europe's Strongest Man 2018) with some big and brash claims of taking the final major strongman World Record after the Deadlift and Axle Press became became his in 2016 and 2017.
Burt Hall was up against it - the athletes included Hafthor Julius Bjornsson, Iron Biby, Robert Oberst, Robert Kearney of the USA, Radzikowski of Poland, Kieliszkowski also of Poland and the great Zydrunas Savickas - the Log Press World Record Holder.
Even with the opposition calibre being so high Eddie Hall was favourite to win as his power and consistent record breaking form at big contests meant fans expected a record
But what really made him up against it, was 3 weeks prior he broke his ankle. Something he kept quiet about as much as possible - until it became apparent from X-rays he shouldn't compete. But the decision was over turned as he began realising it might have to become his last contest.
The World Record then, as it is now, is 230 kilos 507lbs…
Big Z, aka Zydrunas Savickas, aka the 4x World’s Strongest man (considered by many to be the Strongest Man ever), also came here to compete! This may have been the last contest Z did bin true earnest - as he knew his 14 year old Log Lifting World Record Leaderboard domination could finally be over.
He has held the Log Lift record since 2005 (188kg) and had no intentions of letting it go.
Unfortunately, after a recent illness and still fighting old injuries, Big Z failed to make the 213 kilo lift.
The Log lift World Challenge of 2018, as it is also know by, still nailed up a few records… he Beast did walk away with a new British Record in the Log Press - no mean feat at a 213kg
The Beast wasn’t the only one publicly coveting Big Z’s long-held 228kg Log Press World Record. Strongman sensation, Iron Biby from Burkino Faso, also attempted the 230 kilo lift with hopes of making the magic press.
Hafthor Bjornsson also had a huge lift for such a giant man - at 6 foot 9 inches tall - he nailed an Icelandic record of 213kg and no doubt got some huge satisfaction at sharing the title with the beast on 213kg.
Despite not making his lift at 230kg, Iron Biby of Burkina Faso showed just how talented and charismatic he is being the third man to do 213kg that night. 3 way tie for 1st.
“I will go away, I will work hard and I will come back for that record.” Said Biby…
Big Z’s log record 230kg remains intact (for now, at least). - Спорт
Once again two great men - Thor and Eddie - undoubtedly showed their class. But which performance impressed you more here - Hafthor or Eddie? Thor is so tall that to press a 213kg log is really extraordinary, but was Eddie's jumps an error? Could the Beast have added the Log to Deadlift and Axle?
Thor won the entire ESM competition and still did 213 kg. That is damn impressive!
What about iron biby?
@@jamiecash6985 That was a great lift, I do think he really needs to do something about his diet though, he looks so much softer than the other strongmen, I think it might really be holding him back on some of the other events.
Get Thor back after the fight!!!
@@DutchDread Plenty of strongmen are fat, but in the very least they usually have very strong looking arms, legs, etc. Poor Bibby barely shows any muscle - he just just shows size. I think his diet needs to change too (drop 50lbs, eat better, then maybe he'll actually have energy to hit big lifts in competition consistently).
213kg press is insane. A majority of the world will never squat or deadlift this weight and these guys press it overhead. Amazing.
True man i just lift 180 kg on deadlift and i felt happy and then i remember this and larry who did 190 on the military press mental !!
@@abdelhakbenyache1742 180kg Deadlift is good and you can feel proud of it.
@@abdelhakbenyache1742 Rome wasn't built in a day, takes time to accumulate strength, like a rolling snowball, very few come flying out of the gates and those that do are usually flames that burn out quickly.
@@IISocratesII actually most of these guys were deadlifting 300kg as teens
@@rubenrabacal269 Because their starting point is higher than a normal person due to genetic favour (and a lot of them were already PED users in their teens so there's that) that does not negate the point i am making, you don't think it's a false equivelancy to say "well this world tier athlete did this so this what you're saying doesn't apply to some random young man on UA-cam" exceptions don't negate rules, or are you too pulling 300 within a few years training? i didn't think so.
Mind you, eddie and iron biby are STRICT pressing that practically. They are hardly using their legs and that is freakish how strong they are.
That’s how they feel most comfortable doing it. You think they wouldn’t use their legs if they felt stronger doing it?
It's the same thing that Big Z and Bill Kazmaier did back in their day. Either you are a great shoulder presser or you aren't. Those guys didn't compromise. It was 95%+ shoulders as the lift is intended to be.
Eddie should have stuck to his plan and gone 220g, to big a jump from 213kg to 230kg
very true… Thats what he said privately after… the moment and bravado got in the way of his game plan and he never normally did that. He was kicking himself for that.
Eddie dropping that log looked like a pissed off baby ditching a toy in protest after being told it's bed time!
💀
He does😂
I'd imagine he was mad at himself
I thought the same. He looked a small child
Eddie in his prime was something else
One of the best to ever do it
I like how Eddie drops the 213kg log, like "Aight, done it, I'm out"
I believe in his Prime, Big Z had no one to push him even more for the log record. If there was, he'd have done more. Now we have Hicks, Biby, and Luke who can maybe break the record soon 🔥
And we got Big Z training hard again. Excited to see what him and the guys can get on the max log at the Shaw Classic in 2 weeks. He looks like he’s good for at least 200kg right now. If Z keeps it up he may be able to increase his own record within the next couple years, fingers crossed
Big Z ws all shoulders, no leg drive. If he had good technique it would have been 230-235 easily.
Anyone that can do a proper split jerk with a log will get 240+.
Agree...when Big Z pressed 228kg in 2015 he did it with such ease. He could do 230kg for sure.
That's so true. Big Z never looked like he was at his absolute limit.
I still believe if Eddie hadn’t broke his ankle a few weeks before this he probably would have got it
True dat
Absolutely.
Eddie absolutely would have made it. He had the power to lock it out (arguably more raw shoulder power than Z even in Z’s prime) it’s just that with the ankle he couldn’t stabilize it. And at the time they couldn’t reattempt the record a few weeks later like they have been doing with records set at home. Big Z I feel is the better log presser as his technique is much more efficient. But Eddie Hall certainly has stronger overhead power. Shows it nearly every time he lifts a log or axle, and that Kazmaier like no leg drive pure raw power press is just wow!
I have no doubt whatsoever that if Eddie had another shot a few weeks later when his ankle was in better shape that record would have been his. (And if anyone doubts that just go look at Eddies world record axle press...he strict pressed it and made it look easy! He had at least another 10kg in him that day. I don’t think anyone had stronger shoulders than a prime Eddie Hall)
well he said that himself in one of his videos
Eddie Hall is an overrated one hit wonder Big Z is the strongest man to ever walk the 🌎
Big Z, The Best of all time.
He really is the greatest!
@Dean Florey Then we got Novikov winning WSM a year after going pro at age 24. Brian is amazing, but I think he’s 2nd all-time compared to Z’s 4 WSM titles, 2 IFSA titles, and 8 Arnolds. Zydrunas also wasn’t allowed to compete in WSM during his affiliation with IFSA. I love the pure brute strength needed to win the ASC, and Zydrunas has won exactly half of the titles they’ve given out
Still competing at this age
Greatest ever
@Dean Florey It's really hard to decide which one of them is better. They both are superhumans. Absolute legends.
Now you can see how strong Big Z is 👍
i had always wondered why does eddie never use much of a legs drive when doing overhead events.... maybe it would have helped him push the 230 Kg
Pride, i think
I think mobility/stability. If he had that mastered then who knows what he could’ve done.
He said somewhere his knees were basically unusable
Eddie said legs were for squatting and walking, not pressing
@@tordro1177 Nope. If he could, he would. In his book he said he has an injury that doesn't allow him to effectively use leg drive, but for lighter rep-based events he used it a little (WSM 2017 viking press you can see a little bit of it)
Now I know why he’s called “The Beast”
Crazy how easy Eddie made it look.
zidrunas the best of all
@RaozSkillz Not yet, more likely in next year.
I’d say Zydrunas will be in the ball park of 200-210kg at the Shaw Classic. He hit a 195kg log 5 weeks ago to win Static Monsters. If he keeps up the training he’s been doing then next year could be a big year for him
In my opinion the log press world record, not the deadlift, is the real "white whale". SO MANY PEOPLE have failed at 230KG. Zydrunas's record has stood for quite a long while, and before that it was almost a one man party with him upping his own record anyway.
Whoever finally breaks the 230KG barrier is gonna be badass :)
Savickas was doing exactly same thing that Sergiey Bubka did with pole vault
Hall nearly pressed it with a messed up ankle. In my opinion Hall is the strongest in any static event.
@@CheifSmokinDank he really is
Fairly certain Luke stoltman will be the man to break 230
@@obi-wankenobi5926 hope he will, would be so happy for him
Eddie did awesome, you can tell he put so much effort💪👊 don’t worry Eddie you gonna do this next year.
Every single ONE of them men our strength Warriors 💪
Amazing monsters!!!! Thanks for the support
No problem 👍
This particular show was so gamechanging and STACKED with talent
Eddie. Leaves it all out there. Hes such a legend!!!
Addie u always be my fav frm India🇮🇳
The fact that Eddie hall couldn’t even get it when he was the single strongest man statically on the planet shows just how incredibly strong big Z was in his prime
This was around one year from when he won wsm, and two years from when he deadlifted 500 though, so it's close but not exactly his peak
well eddie did have a smashed ankle (2 weeks) and a dislocated hip(7 months) before this event but yeah anyways......
If not for his ankle it woulda went up 100%
@@oceanbanana4341 100%
Yes 20th ! Awesome content
Great work gentlemen 🔥⚡️🔥⚡️🔥 what a show
thanks
@@GiantsLiveSTRONGMAN Keep up the show’s,
we wish having this Outstanding shows and performances in Saudi Arabia 🙏🏾 big Respect ❤️🇸🇦❤️
Cheers for EDDIE... 💖
AWESOME EDDIE HALL !!!
awesome show of strength
My son looks up to the both of you to the point Iv started training strong man just to show him he can achieve anything in life. If I can do it at age 41 he can do anything.
Amazing monsters 👏👏👏
They are!
Eddie hall is just a incredible person and a true sportsman
In my opinion I think Eddie is the best all round static strongman of all time
strong man is realy also an aesthetic experience!
Man, Eddie had 230kg for sure. That damned ankle is what got him. He almost got it on the second rep too! He just must've messed up the first one. Such a shame.
My best log press is currently 145kg, going to get 150kg soon which I thought was good going but this is on another level and very few will ever reach this.
"Sombody needs to be strong af," 💪😑
9:45 - is that Luke Richardson putting in a shift as the guy who helps put the log back into position?
Haha I think so! I heard he helped out at shows any chance he got
Just imagine if Eddie did the 220 first like he wanted to. He would have gotten that record for sure.
With ease
9:36 You see that guys? That's the key right there. Hydration!
Eddie's look after the first fail was great lol......he just needed more hydration, that's why he didn't get it.
Eddie hall my all time favorite, he put da wait so easy
ႀကိဳက္တယ္
Eddie is an English monster...those English are strong AF...and Iron Biby is an amazing athlete as well.
Before i dint know Eddie and i watched wsm cause of Thor i use to think who is that Eddie why Commentators keeps talking about him and then i started following him closely and now he and Shaw are my fav wsm 😇😇😇
What's impressive is that the record is still held by the legendary BIG Z.
It has been 5 years since and no one broke it yet.
@@goldilox811 Good thing you pointed that out because there is a HUGE difference. No way Z would have ever come close on a wooden log. Especially since Z broke his own record for 12 years consecutively & still holds the all time record.
@@goldilox811 You realise Z pressed 205kg for 4 reps on a wooden log at the Arnold? Possibly could've gone even further. Not too crazy to think he could match 228kg on the same day he did that.
This didnt age well
Big Z at 42. Absolutely crazy!
"He had some shoulder problems last couple of years"
I believe the "shoulder problems" were the completely destroyed upper pec after Z try on the 700kg bale tote yoke at the ASC, can anyone confirm?
Eddie hall is the best
big fan from India.🇮🇳
Big Z in his prime was a pressing machine!!
Insane weight to push this above your head
So bloody close
Nice
His excitement got the better of him after the lift 😆
Big Z , el Chivo !!!! (The GOAT)
That drink of water should have not even been asked for........everyone knows this man takes hydration seriously.
0:40 is that Neil Pickup
Hiksey actually a solid 5'10" they listed him as 6'1" what the hell
Big Z is the strongest man to ever walk the 🌎
@@Nirsterkur wrong he had the potential to be sorry I see no one else matching or eclipsing what Big Z has done he's the strongest man to ever walk the 🌎 not only for his 4 WSM wins but 8 Arnold Classics with 6 in a row only strongman to win every major contest at least once log lift world record holder for over 15 years
Watching this after Iron Biby gets so close to a 230kg!
Just the best sport there is
When I read the title I thought Eddie was gonna do 3 reps with 230 lol
to go from 213kg to 230kg is a huge jump.
Why didn't Eddie Hall just wear a sleeveless shirt if he's going to do that to his t-shirt? Lol
You guys are monsters!!!👍💪👋❤
Eddie Hall's pressing is still the most impresive
Bittersweet seeing the big z record broken 🥲
Iron Biby is even nice enough to put it back where he found it. Eddie almost looked angry it was so easy.
They all look about 10 years older then they really are
Lmao thor just casually pressing his body weight over head
Everone is gangsta until
Eddie hall comes to break records
i miss you Edie 😭
O cara deu uma puxada no pó que deu força.
💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
2:30 This guy is so big that he has not enough room outside.
Who’s Burt Hall?! 🤔
Imagine Iron Biby giving you a bear hug.
Iron bibby is new YT search
love the Beast !
Eddie hall always no 1 her fan eyes
I love this sport that’s why I made my channel teaching people the basic fundamentals of strongman
And in 2021, 3 years later, biby got 229kg
1:16 you can hear levan saginashvili yelling
Everything is warm up for Hall
I lift easily 240-250 Kg less K ... I am so freaking strong 😀 proud of myself 🤸🦾🤘
bibys shoulders are as strong as my hip joints
Iron BIBYって礼儀正しく腰が低くててカッコいいな！
Eddie is the man!
Check your description . You put 'Burt Hall'
Whoops!
@@GiantsLiveSTRONGMAN Ha ha
I wonder if Lasha could take it
Press 236.5 kg Vasily Alekseyev
He basically lifted it
So if Lasha was competing, could he just snatch the log over head?
No the log is a different shape and grip than a bar. Lasha might struggle to clean the log but pressing would be easy enough
Looked funny when Thor almost decked it twice lol
Did Thor not make a lift at the record?
0:10 wtf he’s 5’9” not 6’1”
2:16 ya wey que te pasa
Thats clever click bait. Thought it implied that 230kg went up twice and 'almost' a third time
Pretty sure if Eddie used his legs as much as everyone else, he would have gotten it lol
Smh!! Couldn't even do 230kg. "Here hold my beer"
Should ban split jerk from strongman i think its more of a catch than a press in my opinion
Thor's log was always very underated. Just an all around static beast.
