The evolution of strongman sport in China reached a major milestone with the Men’s Log Press event at China’s Strongest 2023, hosted by LIFT ON Strongman (海椰丝大力士) and proudly sponsored by SBD Apparel.
This pivotal contest took place in Hainan, marking a moment when the world of Strongman turned its eyes to China. The event gathered elite athletes from across the country to battle it out in one of the sport’s most iconic lifts — the Log Press.
Adding to the prestige, the competition was judged by two living legends of the sport:
-
Žydrūnas Savickas (Big Z) — 4x World’s Strongest Man Champion and one of the greatest log pressers in history.
-
Martins Licis — 2019 World’s Strongest Man and one of today’s most respected strongman icons.
The Log Press event, streamed live, showcased not only raw power but also technical mastery, heart, and the rising standard of Chinese athletes on the global strongman stage. Each competitor brought their best, aiming to claim dominance in this ultimate display of upper-body strength.
From the roaring crowd to the intense focus on the platform, this event was more than just a lift — it was a symbolic breakthrough for the Chinese strength sports community.
