Toward the end of 2018, 2017 World’s Strongest Man winner Eddie Hall went from an uber-heavy 441 pounds to a shredded (but still ridiculously huge) 358 pounds. At this weight, Hall is undoubtedly healthier and happier, and most definitely ab-ier. Since then, "The Beast" has stayed between 358...

You can’t put on the amount of muscle that’s advertised by celebrity trainers who say that their clients gained 20 to 30 pounds of mass in three months for whatever superhero film is set to release this month. “I’d say a pound or two pounds of muscle is very attainable to do naturally,” says...

Marianna Gasparyan broke three records this past weekend at the Kern US Open in San Diego, and set a new all-time high Wilks score. Kicking off her record-breaking performance, the 123-pound lifter completed a record squat of 260kg (573 pounds). The squat was not only 4.6 times her competition...

It’s no secret that a lot of crazy stuff goes down in Florida, but this 525-pound bench press, performed by high school junior Agelu Nunu, might just be the craziest. The feat went down at the Florida High School Athletic Association Boys' Weightlifting State Championship, which took place over...

Ted Lindberg has been lifting for 75 years, since he was just 12 years old. He remembers how back in the early days gyms didn’t even have benches, and gym-goers had to lie on the floor or on homemade, wood planks to lift. After retiring from working construction, Lindberg began hitting the gym...

Any powerlifter would agree that there are few feelings in this world like beating a deadlift personal record, so it’s no surprise that the World's Strongest Man, Hafþór "Thor" Björnsson, was over the moon when he broke his own elephant bar deadlift world record on Wednesday. Thor hit the gym...

If you go to the gym, you probably know at least one guy who manages to brag about his bench press prowess in nearly every conversation he has. Thanks to Mahailya Reeves, you can go ahead and inform him that 15-year-old girls go harder than he does in the gym. Reeves, a high school freshman and...

Hafthor Bjornsson is the reigning World’s Strongest Man and Arnold Strongman Classic champion, yet he continues to impress us. Although we’ve already seen him squat 980 pounds, warm up with more than 600 pounds, and countless other feats of strength, when he cracks a PR we’re always interested...

While most of us were recovering from holiday meals on Wednesday, 21-year-old powerlifting phenomenon Amanda Lawrence was making gains in the gym. The 84kg powerlifter took to Instagram on Wednesday to share a video of her 585-pound squat PR, which she blows through with relative ease. This...

Amanda Lawrence doesn't mess around in the gym. The 21-year-old powerlifter already set unofficial World Records in the squat and deadlift at USAPL Nationals in October, and she took to Instagram on Sunday to show off an unbelievable new personal record: a 570-pound squat. As if just lifting...

At 400 pounds, haters may say that Hafþór Björnsson’s 880-pound squat is only double his bodyweight, but 880 pounds is 880 pounds—and it’s damn impressive. The 2018 World’s Strongest Man winner is not—I repeat, NOT—a powerlifter. His deadlift is strong because it has to be in order to pick up...

It’s a big world and there are a lot of strong people living in it (like this woman and this guy). And, frankly, there’s not enough time to give every savage a shout out, but Keith Correa—a 148- and 165-pound USPA powerlifter—deadlifting 700 pounds deserves some publicity. That’s almost five...
