Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson

On February 1, 2015, Björnsson broke a 1,000-year-old legendary weightlifting record by carrying a 32-foot (9.7 m), 1,433 lb (650 kg) log for five steps at the annual World's Strongest Viking competition in Norway. The record was set in the late 900s by Orm Storulfsson who according to legend carried the mast of the Ormrinn Langi, a Viking longship, for three steps before breaking his back.
