Strongwoman Andrea Thompson Breaks the World Record for Log Lifting

Andrea Thompson recently met with her coach Laurence “Big Loz” for personal training sessions. They completed multiple sessions together and even shared a video on Instagram. In the video, Andrea Thompson revealed that she was going to attempt to break the log lift world record. Andrea Thompson even went a bit further and revealed that she wanted to move the record mark by an additional weight of 5 kg (11 lb). The plan worked without any hurdles for Andrea Thompson as she lifted a 140 kg (308.6 lb) log for a new world record.

on October 9, Andrea Thompson went to Ipswich, UK, to participate in the 2022 World Log Lift Championships. Her first two lifts were not world records; in her third attempt, she successfully lifted 137.5 kg (303.1 lb) to break the record. However, Andrea Thompson decided to improve it even further and loaded 140 kg (308.6 lb) for her last attempt. Andrea Thompson didn’t increase the weight any further even though it appeared as if she could do it.
