Žydrūnas Savickas (Lithuanian pronunciation: [ʑiːˈdrûːnɐs sɐˈvʲɪtskɐs]; born July 15, 1975) is a Lithuanian former professional strongman and powerlifter. Throughout his career, he competed in and won 84 international competitions, including four World's Strongest Man titles, two IFSA Strongman World Championship's, a Fortissimus title, and a record eight Arnold Strongman Classic titles; a competition revered for its focus on testing static, brute strength.
Due to these accomplishments, combined with 75 world records, particularly in events such as the deadlift, squat, and overhead press, including an unprecedented 16-year reign as the log lift world record holder, he is widely regarded as the greatest strongman of all time.
