More World Records

More World Records

By Jay Unver

(Lehrton, Mississippi) Zane Hodge of Big ASS Endurance continues to write the record books in the new Association of Sports Strongmen. Over the past month, he has set new records in the Husafell stone, the yoke, the duck walk, and the farmer's walk.

In the Husafell stone, he lifted and carried 117.5 pounds for twenty feet.

In the yoke, he set in inaugural mark at 2 X 50 feet with the implement plus forty additional pounds. We don't yet know what the yoke itself weighs. 

With the duck walk, he set the initial mark at ninety pounds. He subsequently took that to 100 pounds, then 105, and finally 110 pounds. All duck walks were at fifty feet.

It is in the farmer's carry, however, that Hodge has been the most impressive, breaking and re-breaking the world record over and over. He has set marks for both weight and distance. For weight, he carried the implements plus fifty pounds per hand (a total of 204 pounds) 4 X 50 feet. For distance, he set the original record at 150 feet with just the implements (104 pounds). Next he took the record to 200 feet, followed by 250 feet, and finally to an amazing 300 feet. 

Hodge says, he can and will go farther with the farmer's walk. He also said, we can expect new records in the Husafell, the yoke, and the duck walk.
