483 KG ❗ MAXIMUM REPOST 💪
It was the best day of my life. Emotions were overflowing, yesterday I was ready for 505 kg, but left them for September 6 for the World Championships to raise interest in the record.
I moved to a place where I always wanted to live, changed my attitude to my life and health, began to appreciate every day of my life, love my wife more ❤️, devoted myself to my favorite thing – to train people. I found the inner freedom that gave me limitless strength.
I thank the organizer of the competition sepp maurer.
I really felt at home, the atmosphere, the audience are all top notch.
There are many high-profile victories and records ahead 👊

Plans for the Future
Back in 2021 Ivan Makarov declared that he would break the 505 kg set by 2018 World’s Strongest Man Hafthor Bjornsson. While over a year has past since that declaration, Bjornsson still seems poised and ready to shatter the record and etch his name into the history books. With this feat of strength Makarov is converting many into believers and could very well be the man to challenge for the world record.
