To put ancient flexing into perspective, a typical uneducated person can lift approximately 85 pounds over their head at once. With training, they may easily lift up to 115 pounds.

This may have been a record at the time, but it has now been surpassed. In 2010, Zydrūnas Savickas set the world deadlift record with 469 pounds. He holds the world record for deadlift, established in 2014, at 1,155 pounds as well. Sorry to say, Bybon son of Phola, you’re no longer that amazing.
