That’s just under 524 kgs. Yes, this bro definitely lifts.

This is Zydrunas Savickas and at the recent Arnold Strongman competition the giant Lithuanian broke the world deadlifting record by lifting eight tyres that weighed a mind-blowing 1,155 pounds. That is 524kgs in metric, or just over four Mike Ross’s, the Irish unit of measurement.

After shaking hands with Mike Ross once we needed medical attention so how any single human could deadlift four of him is beyond our comprehension.  Zydrunas Savickas, you are some man for one man.
