The Incredible True Story of the Strongest Man Who Has Ever Lived

With more than 70 world records in strength (including an impressive 525 kilo -1155-pound- Hummer tire deadlift- a 228 kilo -502-pound- near strict log press, and a 240 kilo -528-pound- seated shoulder press), more victories in strongman competitions than anyone else, and the longest career in strongman history, Zydrunas “Big Z” Savickas is undoubtedly the strongest man in the history of the Earth.

Born in humble beginnings in the totalitarian state of Soviet occupied Lithuania, Zydrunas grew up in a world where even the most basic commodities were luxuries no one could afford. Instead of complaining about it, however, he used his high intelligence, his dedication, hard work and family support to grow out of this poverty, achieve true liberty, and find success and happiness, finding a way to give back to his country and to help it extensively. In the process, he became the most famous athlete ever to come out of Lithuania and the premier strength competitor in the world.

This is Zydrunas’ autobiography, from birth to today, covering his many strongman victories, his time as an important Lithuanian politician, his career as a massively successful entrepreneur, and his extensive world travels. In addition, this is also a book on the story of the sport of strongman, with interchapters covering its history, intrigues, major competitions and most important players, including Big Z’s hall of fame of legendary strongmen from the distant past, the recent past, and the present.

This is the only book of its kind in the world. For the first time ever, the normally discrete and silent Zydrunas opens up to reveal his inner thoughts, life, secrets, failures, successes and future plans. A must read for those interested in strength, life, power, success, motivation and life satisfaction.
