Florian Kellersmann Posted June 20, 2004 Share Posted June 20, 2004 I think it is Andrus Murumets with 267 pounds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEB Boy Posted June 20, 2004 Author Share Posted June 20, 2004 thanks, I believe I've read over the last 1-2 years about various people holding the RT record, to include Magnus Samuelson. But I thought there was a picture in Milo two-to-three yrs ago of some huge guy pulling 275 lbs on the RT. Is Andrus Murumets a grip specialist or an all-around strength athlete?

daniel_lidstrom Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 I thought Magnus Samuelsson had the record with 131kg. I read about it in the march or december issue of MILO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobsterone Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 Like my best ever effort of 136 kilos on a stiffish handle it may have been done in training and so isn't officially recognised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darco Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 Murumets also showed his prowess in the All Strength Challenge itself, setting a world record in the Hercules Hold That's what I call good carryover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mac Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 Several people have pulled huge numbers on the Rolling Thunder either in training or "unofficially" - and don't forget that the rules have changed over time as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
