The Rise to Fame of Nick Best
Nick Best has a track record of success. Previously winning the USAPL National Powerlifting Championships in the 125 kg class in 1996 and 1997 and eventually becoming a World Champion in 1996, Nick wanted to make his mark on the world by competing in an even more intense sport.
That's why he entered strongman tournaments — where he can put all his strength to the test.
Nick is one of the most successful strongmen in the world.
With a 125 kg, 75 m Farmer's Walk time of 47.3 seconds, he holds the International Federation of Strength Athletes world record. He has won All-American Strongman Challenges in 2010 and the Arnold Strongman Championships in 2010. He was 6th at the 2010 World's Strongest Man.
What does it take to break the hip lift world record?
A lot of hard work, dedication, and commitment. Nick, a UK-born strongman from Leeds, holds the joint title of "The World's Strongest Man" with Mike Jenkins.
He achieved this by performing 1105 kg (2,425.7 pounds) in the hip lift event at the 2012 World's Strongest Man contest.
This entitled him to compete in the contest finals in Los Angeles, USA, where he finished third and didn't qualify for the finals.
In addition to his performance at The World's Strongest Man competition in 2012, Nick has also been featured on History Channel's television series, The Strongest Men in History, where he beat his old hip lift world record up to 1,266 kg (2,791 pounds).
