Iron Biby, lifting spirits and setting records

My name is Iron Bibi and I'm from Burkina Faso, West Africa

Playing and competing in the Strongman world is really fun because I get to visit different

places and always stay in a competition mood. I like being competitive

While being a kid, I didn't know I was going to be a great athlete because I was overweight

people used to make fun of me, I wasn't happy with myself

So now being able to do something that I really love and also showing to other kids that you

have to be happy with yourself, it's a dream come true for me to compete and motivate others

Okay, Bibi, how's this going to work? Are you nervous? Yes. Yeah, it's teamwork, you know

So what we're going to do, I will have to lift you up above my shoulder

So you have to make sure that you stay straight. So we got this, okay

Got this. In three, two, one, go. Ready? Yeah

Arm it up. Five, four, three, two, one

Stop there. The record currently stands at 69. I can confirm that after one minute, the total of valid overhead presses was 82. Yes

One minute of hard work, non-stop. Kind of push myself so hard and I get to know myself more in this kind of event

It's different than lifting a normal barbell because it's a human. So the person moves a lot, so you have to adjust everything

So there is stability issues. The person I lifted today was actually really stable

Being bullied in my past, I think is a really hard thing

Taking it positive can be a good motivation because when you're bullied, you can be negative about it

So I try to use it as motivation to prove to them that you can be better

Anyone can be better. If I can do it, you can do it. If you can do it, I can do it

So that my mindset. Being a Guinness World Record title holder is a dream come true for me

I want to break the world log lift record. And of course, in the future, being one of the strongest men that ever lived

In my mind, I always want to be the best. One of the strongest men that ever lived

In my mind, I always want to defy gravity. So let's say if they say, okay, a big guy cannot do that

I will try and do it because everything is possible
