Lifted 144 kg with one finger. Chinese fitness influencer sets world record (photo)

Chinese fitness influencer Liu Weiqian set a new world record by lifting 144.72 kg with just his middle finger. This achievement surpasses the previous record by six kilograms. To accomplish this, the athlete designed a special device and maintained a vertical body position for ten seconds.

Over 14 years of training, Liu Weiqian has already set eight Guinness records. His achievements include weighted pull-ups on rings and a record for the most push-ups on fists.

During the record-setting attempt, Weiqian held his body in a vertical position for ten seconds, after which he carefully lowered the weight to the ground. For comparison, the weight he lifted is equivalent to that of a small black bear.

Icelander Hafthor Bjornsson set a new world record in deadlifting by lifting 505 kilograms at a competition in Neunkirchen, Germany. A special suit and straps were used, permitted by the rules.

The previous record (501 kg) also belonged to Hafthor and was set in 2020.

Both athletes, Liu Weiqian and Hafthor Bjornsson, continue to improve their sporting achievements and set new records in the world of fitness and strength sports. Their accomplishments are impressive and inspiring for many sports fans around the world.
