Iron Biby broke his own world record during the 2024 World Log Lift Challenge!
Cheick Sanou, known as Iron Biby, came into the 2024 Giants Live World Log Lift Challenge with high hopes of reaching a mark that no one has before. He has shown his world-class strength at different events over the years and was able to take it to another level. Biby was able to set a new world record with a 231kg (509.3lb) log lift during the event.
The log lift is a movement that has been on a quick rise over the years. The weight has gotten significantly higher for lifters compared to a decade ago. Iron Biby is a reason for this and there is a chance that he holds this record for quite some time.
Sanou first took the log lift world record at the 2022 Giants Live World Tour Finals with a lift of 228kg. He took the record from Zydrunas Savickas, who held it since 2015. Biby has held the record since and was event able to beat it once before. In 2023, Biby broke his own record with a 230kg (507lb) lift and was able to top it once again.
