The most incredible world record in weightlifting. The most incredible world record in weightlifting The maximum weight a person can lift
Over time, the records recorded in the Guinness Book become more and more strange. It gets to the point where you begin to doubt the sanity of the record holders
Over time, the records recorded in the Guinness Book become more and more strange. It gets to the point where you begin to doubt the sanity of the record holders:
1. Winners of marathons with strollers
These record-breakers don't want parenthood to slow down the pace of their lives. The women's record is held by Nancy Schubring from the USA. She completed the half marathon in 1 hour, 30 minutes and 51 seconds.
The men's record, set by Neil Davison from Great Britain, was 1 hour, 15 minutes and 8 seconds.
Those who did not manage to become parents, but still want to get into the book of records, can prepare for the marathon in a tailcoat, a diver's suit and other shocking paraphernalia.
2. The largest number of toilet seats broken on your own head in a minute
A head and a toilet seat don't go well together, except when it comes to stereotypical school bullies. Kevin Sheily from the USA apparently thinks otherwise - in any case, he holds the record for breaking wooden chairs over his head. In one minute he got rid of 46 toilet seats.
3. The greatest number of rotations of a person hanging from a drill in a minute
This record requires developed upper body muscles and is an order of magnitude more extreme than simple powerlifting. Hai Jiang from Germany completed 148 rotations on a drill in one minute, setting a world record. However, it would be wise for you not to try this at home.
4. Heaviest weight, raised with….
Apparently upper body strength is not enough for some. Below are the records for lifting weights with delicate parts of the face:
Briton Thomas Blackthorn lifted a weight of 12.5 kg using his tongue, thereby setting a Guinness record.
The greatest weight lifted by one eye socket was 14 kg. The record was set by Majit Singh from Great Britain.
And the most heavy weight, raised by two eye sockets is equal to 23.5 kg. He was picked up by the Chinese Yang Guan Hui.
And finally, Rakesh Kumar from India set a record by lifting 80.78 kg with one ear (using a clamp).
5. The longest stay of a person in a container with ice
No offense to the record holder or the contenders, but staying on ice for a long time is, to put it mildly, a stupid idea. Even if we forget about frostbite and hypothermia, this is still pure madness.
Wim Hof from the Netherlands lasted 1 hour, 52 minutes and 42 seconds in a container of ice.
6. Popping balloons back for a while
You'll need amazing flexibility to beat this record. In the meantime, this record is held by Julia Guntel from Germany, also known as Zlata. She popped three balloons with her back in just 12 seconds.
7. Most watermelons cut on the stomach in a minute
In case you were wondering, the tool used to cut the watermelons was a machete, which made this record even more frightening. Australian Jim Hunter, along with his assistant Celia Curtis, whose stomach was used as a cutting board, chopped 25 watermelons in one minute.
8. Most T-shirts taken off while heading a ball
This is how you can use your football skills if you can't do it in professional sports. Brazilian Marcelo Ribeiro da Silva first put on and then managed to take off 21 T-shirts, hitting the ball with his head.
But if you don't have the skills to break this record, you can take a look at the record for the most T-shirts worn at once. Although the current record of 257 T-shirts (set by Sri Lankan Sanat Bandara) will be difficult to beat.
9. Most steps taken by a dog with a glass of water balanced on its head
Your pets can also become world record holders. Especially if they help you set the table.
An Australian shepherd named Sweet Pea set two records in this category. She took 10 steps forward and backward, balancing a glass of water.
10. The loudest purr of a domestic cat
Cat lovers won't be left out either, as long as their pets can express their love at record volume.
The loudest purr, with a noise level of 67.7 dB, was made by a cat named Smokey. The record was set at Smokey's home, where she feels most comfortable. The record attempt involved slices of ham, a comb and stroking.
11. Most long distance, overcome by a burning man being dragged by a horse.
The strangeness of this record surpasses all those mentioned above. It’s scary to think what else people are willing to do to get into the Guinness Book of Records...
This record was set by Halapi Roland from Hungary: the horse dragged the burning Roland 472.8 meters.
There is this photograph circulating on the Internet, under which they usually write that this is the Kazakh wrestler Baluan Sholak holding a bull weighing 816 kg.
Of course, all this information came to us from legends, but maybe earlier people really were much stronger. From a scientific point of view, is it even possible for a person to lift such weight? I quickly googled it and found out that there was one person who lifted a fantastic 2800 kg.
Don't believe me? Let's cut to the chase...
To begin with, let’s determine that the photo in the photo is not Baluan Sholak, but some kind of Mongol.
The photograph is quite modern, and the bull in the photo weighs approximately 100-120 kg. But Baluan Sholak lived back in the 19th century. Here is what information about him has been preserved.
In 1864, a son was born into the Baymurza family from the Sambet clan. The baby was named Nurmagambet. It so happened that in childhood the child injured his hand, disfiguring his fingers. Since then they called him Sholak - the fingerless one. Sholak spent his childhood and youth in Kokchetav, where his father made a living by making wooden crafts. The father worked tirelessly, and the family did not need anything. Young Sholak was already distinguished by his daring disposition, in no way inferior to the older boys, he fought and fought selflessly, and was a leader in everything. Possessing extraordinary strength and agility, he had no equal in any competition.
Already in his young years, Sholak became famous as an invincible wrestler and was awarded the honorary title of Baluan. Baluan Sholak was not inferior to anyone in horse riding, demonstrating real circus tricks: he stood on a horse at full gallop, spun in the saddle, and could sit on the horse’s belly while running without reins... But the horseman’s main hobby was singing and playing the dombra. He sang the songs of Birzhan and Akhan-Sere, so much so that they talked about it all over the steppe. Baluan Sholak easily held a log with twenty horsemen on his shoulders, at the age of 35 at fairs he lifted weights weighing 51 pounds (816 kg) and, of course, fought excellently, justifying his nickname Baluan - a wrestler.
Already at the age of 14, the future strongman defeated 20-year-old boys. At a competition in Omsk on the occasion of the arrival of the Tsar's heir, Baluan Sholak put the famous wrestler Sevres on his shoulder blades. At the age of 49, our hero accepted the challenge of the famous strongman Karon at the Koyanda fair and during the fight broke his rib. They say that Haji Mukan himself wanted to measure his strength with Baluan Sholak, but, having gotten to know him better, he abandoned this idea. His songs brought even greater fame to the hero. Having lived only 55 years, he left behind dozens of songs: “Galia”, “September”, “Taldy-Kul”, “Saryn” and others. And this despite the fact that the akyn’s creativity has not yet been sufficiently studied. Baluan Sholak traveled around the villages, gathered gifted youth around him, and even organized an “ensemble.” For the first time, steppe residents hear familiar songs performed in choirs and are surprised at the coordinated playing of several dombras.
At the age of twenty-six, Sholak already had a real troupe, which included dombra players, singers, storytellers, riders and wrestlers. Sholak himself performed songs and demonstrated his colossal strength - he broke horseshoes, fought with several horsemen at once, and lifted incredible weights. Baluan Sholak had a special relationship with women: he was always carried away by beauties and, as befits a poet, was amorous. Bright appearance, prowess, incredible power, strong voice made the akyn the most desirable man in the steppe. But only one woman left an indelible mark on his life. Her name was Galia. And she was the daughter of a wealthy Argyn merchant Tleu. The tall, fair-faced beauty, while still a child, was betrothed to the wealthy but unloved Birzhan. She married him. And then Baluan Sholak met her. The lovers met secretly. Until the deceived husband found out about it. Brutally beaten, wearing only a shirt, Galia returns to her parents' house. Baluan Sholak was ready to marry his beloved. But the offended husband, through the court of the biys, demanded the return of the bride price.
Monument to Baluan Sholak in the village of Tole Bi, Shui district, Zhambyl region.
Not believing the judges, the batyr went to Kokchetav to collect the required amount of livestock. In Kokchetav he was accused of stealing cattle and ended up in prison, while Galia won the court case. Now she was free, but nothing was known about her beloved. Steppe rumors bring different things to her: Baluan Sholak has fled, he is a polygamist, and now a convict, driven to Siberia forever... Galia, in despair, at the behest of her father, marries again. Now she is the second wife of a famous man in the city. And Baluan’s friends agreed to transfer him to the prison of the city where Galia lived. Akin is not himself while waiting to meet his beloved. It was then that Baluan Sholak’s most famous song, “Galia,” was born. But Sholak and Galia never found family happiness. Baluan Sholak remained a favorite of his fellow countrymen until the end of his life. He fought against injustice, and his every noble deed aroused admiration among the people. On the eve of the October Revolution, the batyr helped the Bolsheviks hide in the villages, supplied them with horses, and helped them in every possible way.
Until the end of his life, Baluan Sholak was not afraid of anyone and always helped the weak and disadvantaged. His songs are often heard today in concerts and on the radio. Sabit Mukanov wrote a story about Baluan Sholak, singer, composer, famous wrestler, and now the Sports Palace built in 1967 in Almaty is named after him.
Is it possible to lift that much weight?
People who are seriously interested in bodybuilding most likely know what the heaviest weight a person has ever lifted and who did it. We are talking about the famous strongman Paul Anderson, who in the middle of the last century was considered the strongest man in the world and was called in the press a “crane.”
Paul Anderson was born in 1932 and began training with weights when he was 20 years old. The largest one raised by a person was recorded in 1957. It was a barbell with “pancakes”, the total mass of which was 2,844 kg. (during one of the performances he tore his shoulders off the racks). And Anderson’s record has not yet been broken by any weightlifter.
In the early 50s. last century, the athlete began to perform in the professional arena. Moreover, there is a known case when in one of the nightclubs in Las Vegas he squatted three times with a barbell whose weight was 526 kg. And for Anderson there was nothing unusual about this - after all, squats with weights were his favorite exercise.
But the athlete didn’t like the bench press too much. However, this did not prevent him from achieving excellent results here. In particular, Paul could squeeze 11 times right hand 136 kg, and do the same 7 times with the left.
In professional demonstrations of strength, Anderson managed to lift 1,600 kg from the platform and lift it to his knees. In addition, he performs an incomplete squat - a “short squat” with a weight of 952.5 kg, walks with 700 kg on his chest and squats according to all the rules with 590 kg.
After the Olympics, Anderson announced that he was leaving amateur sports, believing that tournaments are too physically and mentally exhausting. He began to give performances with demonstrations of strength in various cities in the United States. In powerlifting, he showed the following results: squats with a weight of 544.5 kg, bench press - 284 kg and deadlift- 371 kg (with straps - 453.5 kg), (without equipment and doping). Anderson also performed a partial squat with a weight of 952.5 kg, and during one of his performances he lifted a weight of 2,844 kg from the racks with his shoulders. He could hold outstretched arms weights of 127 kg each with little fingers alone. I pressed a dumbbell weighing 172.5 kg with one hand while standing.
There was also this famous person:
Let us then remember another famous strongman:
So how much can a person lift maximum? Answer: 266 kilograms. That's the record Olympic champion Leonid Taranenko in the clean and jerk (one of the two main techniques for lifting a barbell), listed in the Guinness Book of Records. It was installed almost 30 years ago, but has not yet been broken by anyone.
But such an unusual topic, what do you think?

The strongest men are engaged. They can easily lift incredible weights, which no one else can even budge.
Every year more and more new records are set, but there are also some that are very difficult and no one can break them for decades. Let's look at the most incredible world records.
Strongest
"Most strong man on the planet” - that’s what it was called at one time. US athlete Paul Anderson, who was involved in weightlifting and competed more than 50 years ago, still has unbroken records in strength exercises.
In Las Vegas, he managed to squat 526 kg three times in a row. He did this every day for several weeks and said that this weight was his normal working weight, and not his maximum. He did this without any athletic equipment, and barefoot. For example, the modern record was set by Doni Thompson, who squatted 590 kg. And in 1975, Don Reinhodt set a record in the squat without equipment with a weight of 423.5 kg - this record has not yet been broken by anyone.
Another amazing achievement Anderson achieved was lifting weights with one right hand. He lifted 136 kg 11 times. He did such exercises with special dumbbells.
It is possible to tear off almost three tons of weight!
He set one of the most incredible world records in lifting weights from racks. Anderson was able to lift 2844 kg of weight, which exceeded the records set before him by almost a ton.
Also incredible world records in weightlifting Andy Bolton, an English weightlifter, also delivered. He set three world records: squat with a weight of 550.5 kg, deadlift - 457.5 kg, total triathlon - 1273 kg. Andy became the first man on the planet to deadlift more than 453.6 kg (1,000 lbs).
In the deadlift, it is necessary to note his successes. In the spring of 2011, in the equipment, he set a world record in weightlifting and lifted a weight of 460 kg at the classic tournament.
As for that, one cannot fail to mention the achievement of the American athlete Ryan Kennealy. Without equipment, he bench presses 297 kg. A lot of? In equipment in 2008, Ryan bench pressed 478.6 kg! So far, no one can break this world record in weightlifting.
Iran ahead
In an exercise such as the snatch, in absolute weight category World records in weightlifting belong only to athletes from Iran. And it is noteworthy that the last two belong to a teacher and his student. So, in 2003, Hossein Reza Zadeh set a world record by making a snatch with a barbell weight of 213 kg. And in 2011, his student Bedhad Salimi surpassed his teacher and managed to make a snatch at the National Tournament, which was held in Iran, with a weight of 214 kg. At the same time, Hossein’s world weightlifting record in the clean and jerk remained unbroken - no one managed to lift a weight greater than 263 kg.
Despite the development of training systems, as well as sports supplements which weightlifters use, no one has yet been able to surpass the result of the Soviet athlete who in 1988 achieved a weight in the clean and jerk of 266 kg. Then in the double event he gained 475 kg.
Also unsurpassed is the result of the Turkish athlete N. Suleymanoglu, who in the same 1988 was able to push a barbell weighing 190 kilograms, thereby setting a new world record in weightlifting. Doesn't seem like much? Your opinion will change when you find out in what category the athlete competed then - up to 60 kg. That is, the Turk was able to lift a weight that was more than three times his own!
Weights are lighter than feathers to them
Let’s touch on a little bit and the World Champion in this sport, Pavel Lesnykh, who lives in the Altai Territory, never tires of setting new and new records. In 2007, Pavel set a world record by pushing a 36 kilogram weight 1030 times. He finished it in exactly an hour and a half.
And this is truly a monumental achievement, since the previous record, which was set by Vyacheslav Khoronenko, the “Belarusian King of Kettlebells,” was 1020 jerks with a weight of 32 kilograms.
In addition, Pavel managed to push a weight weighing 41 kg 209 times, as well as hold a weight weighing 52 kg for 30 minutes, thereby setting new world weightlifting records.
Another Russian athlete, Ivan Denisov, multiple Russian and world champion in sports, managed to set no fewer world records. kettlebell lifting. He set a world record for the longest cycle. Pushing a 32-kilogram weight in 2007, he managed to achieve a result of 109 points. And in 2005, Ivan was able to score 387 points in the double event, which consists of the clean and jerk and snatch. At the same time, he scored 175 points in the clean and jerk, and 220 points in the snatch.
What's next?
Many experts say that new world records in weightlifting, which are set by athletes, are less and less different from those already set. And this is even despite new methods, nutrition and funding for athletes. All more people They attribute this to the fact that they are simply already close to the possibilities physical strength human body, and therefore there can no longer be large gaps in records. Whether this is true or not, only time will help figure it out. As they say, “we’ll wait and see.”
