Yoke

For a visualization of King Leonidas undertaking a yoke carry, we’d imagine him in full Spartan regalia, embodying the iconic Spartan king’s strength and leadership. However, due to the policy on creating images of specific historical figures, we’ve provided visuals that capture the essence of Spartan strength and determination.

Regarding the heaviest yoke carry competition record, as of my last update in April 2023, one of the most notable records in the yoke carry was set by Hafthor Bjornsson, who is known for his strength and size. He carried a yoke weighing 1,430 pounds (about 649 kilograms) for 20 meters in 2019. This feat was part of a strongman competition and showcased an incredible display of strength and endurance.

Records in strongman competitions like the yoke carry are often broken as athletes continue to push the boundaries of human strength, so it’s always a good idea to check the latest updates from strongman competition results or records for the most current information.
