Dimitar Savatinov Push Presses 240kg/529lb On A Barbell!
Bulgarian strongman, World's Strongest Man competitor, and World Record holder in the dumbbell press is getting ready for a huge log press at a contest next month. In the process, he just hit one of the heaviest push presses of all time, 240kg/529lb:

This is only the second time I've ever seen a 240kg push press, the first being from Russia's Chingiz Mogushkov:


Mogushkov's push press is much cleaner than Savatinov's, but that doesn't take anything away from Savatinov's incredible feat of strength here. Imagine what these strongmen would be capable of if a pure barbell shoulder to overhead was contested at a show!
