Heavyweight battle! Open strongman VS giant powerlifter so looks like 1. Loglift Madness

After the last introduction to Czech wars and the premiere of the series called deadlift madness, we have another unique thing to talk about.

In today's fight, well-known strongman from Liberec Lukáš Patera (32) will face each other, and against him will be a powerlifter of excellent proportions Lukáš Žigmund (31)!
The duel takes place in the discipline called"loglift", the name is derived from a specific tool, imitating a log.

Lukáš really excels in the pushing disciplines and it is no wonder, Lukáš Patera holds the national record for the highest weight lifted on a single arm. For some time he fought for this position with Jirka Tkadlčík, whom he finally conquered and still holds the record. Lukáš used to be a decathlete and there he got a perfect preparation for the more "demanding" sports he does today, i.e. strongman disciplines. Strongman Force is the name of Lukáš's home club, which he founded in Liberec and has some young talents in its ranks, to whom he tries to pass on the best. In the last fight we could watch for example: Jarda Svoboda, who also belongs to Strongman Force. Lukáš can be seen regularly at strongman competitions not only across the Czech Republic, but also abroad.

Similarly, powerlifter Lukáš Žigmund excels with his strength in the pressure events and many others. For both of them the loglift discipline is perfect. Even though there are weight and performance differences between the fighters, they both handle the 120 kg log with ease. Lukáš Žigmund did not want to give up the fight despite the complications with his back that have been haunting him for a long time, but he is a heartthrob and wanted to motivate others that giving up without a fight is pointless. So the fight went according to his wishes! Lukas' benchpress performances, and once deadlifts, haunt his opponents to this day. He became famous mainly in one of the most famous episodes of Czech Strength Wars in 2016, when he fought the Czech best weightlifter Jirka Orság, and it is the most brutal and hardest fight we could ever see in the history of all Strength Wars, by the way you can find Czech Strength Wars #3 on youtube and see the extreme performances for yourself. Lukas is still into powerlifting but now he is more focused on benchpress and pressure stuff. His home club is SK Ironbulls Domažlice.

The rules of the fight are as follows, the fighters have to reposition 1 in a time limit of 40 seconds and lift the log above their heads 3 times by pressure into a prone position, they take turns on rounds and whoever gets further is the winner. You can watch what a challenging battle in an extremely difficult event looked like now. The host is Jonáš Petřík and we filmed in the JC Beast Factory gym in Pilsen.
