Who's the strongest man in the world? Of course, that depends on how you measure strength, but we are sure that Russian strongman Ivan Savkin is in the running. Savkin, Russia’s Far East champion in powerlifting and weightlifting, wanted to prove his strength to the world in the ultimate way. The bulky Russian got together a camera crew and buckled himself up to a port crane, that's right, a crane used in busy ports to lift containers from ships. In an intense show of physical power, the strongman gritted his teeth and pulled the giant contraption, causing it to move about 5 feet on the rails. The impressive feat took place at a shipyard in the seaside village of Livadia in Russia’s Far East. Although this feat is certainly Savkin's most astounding, the strongman is no stranger to moving unthinkably large object. He has moved a locomotive, an Osa anti-aircraft missile system, and T-34 and T-54B tanks with brawn.
