2024 Magnus Ver Magnusson Strongman Classic: Mateusz Kieliszkowski Hoists 151 Kilograms Overhead

The Stone Press Event

Mateusz Kieliszkowski of Poland made a triumphant return to the strongman stage, winning the 2024 Magnus Ver Magnusson Strongman Classic (MVMSC) on November 22-25. His victory was marked by a world record performance in the stone press event, lifting 151 kilograms overhead.

Kieliszkowski’s Victory

Kieliszkowski shared his contest recap, breaking down his victory and how he rewrote the record books. He started strong, opening with a lift of 122 kilograms, the most of any athlete in the field. After his second successful lift at 142 kilograms, he secured first-place points and didn’t need to take a third attempt.

The World Record Attempt

However, Kieliszkowski was offered the chance to set the world record and decided to go for it, despite the additional toll it might take on his body with the rest of the competition still to come. The heavier stone was wider than the previous ones he lifted, creating a new challenge from what he was accustomed to in training.

Adjusting to the Wider Stone

The wider block meant that Kieliszkowski’s grip had to widen with it, limiting the leverage of his triceps compared to the narrower stones. After dumping the 151-kilogram stone behind his head on his first attempt, Kieliszkowski was allotted one more attempt, his fourth overall, since a world record hung in the balance.

Succeeding on the Second Attempt

Kieliszkowski understood the adjustment necessary to contend with the wider, slippery stone. Fortunately, a technique alternative was all he needed since he routinely trained with 160-kilogram stones leading up to the competition, well more than the 151 kilograms he was contending with. Ultimately, Kieliszkowski locked the world record stone overhead and received the down command from the judge to rewrite history.
