In the current pantheon of strongman, Martins Licis is one of the inarguable pillars of the sport. The 32-year-old athlete can boast a World’s Strongest Man<\/a> (WSM) title to his name (2019) and seemingly finds a way to finish near the top of many contests he features in. With another tentpole competition on the horizon, Licis is training<\/a> to make his usual waves once more.<\/p>\n

On Oct. 17, 2022, Licis shared a video of himself capturing a 455-kilogram (1,003-pound) block-pull deadlift<\/a> for four reps<\/strong>. Per the caption of his post, Licis apparently had “plenty more in reserve” even after finishing the set. Notably, Licis did not disclose the precise heights of the blocks. However, judging by the video, they appear to be roughly half the height of the 6-foot-3 strongman’s calves when standing straight up. The athlete wore a lifting belt<\/a> and lifting straps, and completed the set while donning just his socks.<\/p>\n
