The 2022 Rogue Invitational saw three world records set new marks.

The 2022 Rogue Invitational is one of the best strongman events of the year where competitors have a chance to compete and even set some new world records.

The competition took place on Sunday at the Dell Diamond Stadium in Austin, TX. Oleksii Novikov won the overall prize but Mitchell Hooper and Kevin Faires also put on quite a performance with record-setting days. Both strongmen set new world records in different events.

Kevin Faires Sets Thor’s Hammer Deadlift Record Of 325 Pounds

Kevin Faires placed last during the 2022 Rogue Invitational but he was able to make it a memorable weekend by setting a new mark in Thor’s Hammer Deadlift.

Because of the unique shape and nature of the lift, grip strength is put on display and Faires was able to make it count. The hammer weighed 147.4kg (325lb) and was able to get it off the ground to set a new mark. Faires’ record beats the previous mark by 11.4kg. Just one year ago, Martins Licis completed a 136kg (300lb) lift.
