Xu Jinfen could only lift two reps of the 100KG Atlas Stone in training. But under the spotlight of the 2025 Lift On Strongman® New Legends at IFE, she defied her limits—and completed eight. Witness the fierce final lifts that redefined her boundaries.
𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐚𝐥𝐥, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐟𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐭 𝐰𝐞𝐚𝐩𝐨𝐧! 2025 LIFT ON Strongman® New Legends Men's U105 Champion: Malaysia's Zhu Guowei always says: "𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐥 𝐢𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟. 𝐈𝐟 𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐞 𝐩𝐮𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮, 𝐢𝐭 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞'𝐬 𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐨 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐰." Perhaps it's this deep-rooted humility—etched into his bones—that has carried him to the podium again and again, forging his reputation as the "Ever-Victorious General" of strongman.
Sun Honghui could have stayed comfortably in the 80kg division—but where's the challenge in that? To prepare for OSG in the U.S. this winter, he voluntarily stepped into the 90kg arena—seeking fiercer clashes, lifting heavier weights, turning competition into training.
Watching Wang Zhen dominate the arena, you finally understand that ancient saying—"𝐀𝐧 𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐚 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐞 𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐝." Facing fierce international rivals, he stood unshaken like a frontier garrison commander. Winning the 2025 LIFT ON Strongman® New Legends Men's U80kg title was merely his opening move. "Sun Honghui and I will refine ourselves for another year"—casual as it sounds, this vow carries the same brotherhood and ambition as the "Five Tiger Generals" of old. That OSG invitation? Just the first beacon lighting their path to legend.

"I wish there were more girls in my weight class competing" — Behind Anja Schuffner's victory speech as the women's 82kg+ champion of 2025 LIFT ON Strongman® New Legends lies the truest aspiration of this sport. This German-Korean "𝐏𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐁𝐚𝐫𝐛𝐢𝐞" is already a familiar face at LIFT ON events: While others focus on cutting weight, she smashes limits. As women's divisions get more specialized, she proves true dominance thrives on competition. "𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐬𝐨 𝐰𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐳𝐞𝐝," she smiles thanking the team—but her eyes say it all: Next time, I want to see more Power Barbies on this stage!
