That's what the expectation is when the big boys of the strongman world line up at the Strongman Champions League Log Lift World Championships: the current world record, 210 kg, will be broken, and maybe more than once.

Hometown hero Zydrunas Savickas has branded his name on log lift world record book, and when he set his current mark of 210 kg, he told IronMind® that it was easy. His size and strength aside, we thought it reasonable to accept this appraisal since Zydrunas has a personal best of 220 kg, and given that his stated plan is to keep breaking the world record in 2.5-kg increments, he told IronMind® earlier this year that his next step will be with 212.5 kg.

Show time is drawing nearer, with the Strongman Champions League Log Lift World Championships set for November 16, in Lithuania, with a live broadcast on Eurosport.
