Extreme athlete Bujar Muli has once again stunned spectators and record officials after setting a new Guinness World Record by having an astonishing two metric tons of cement applied to his body.
The feat, accomplished on July 18 in his hometown of Vushtri, Kosovo, earned the man known as the “Hulk of Kosovo” and the “Hercules of Kosovo” another place in the Guinness World Records book. This feat surpassed his own previous record and cemented his reputation as one of the world’s most extraordinary strength athletes.
Hundreds of residents packed the local sports hall to watch the effort, turning the event into a celebration of both individual determination and national pride.
Two tons of cement kept for Guinness World Record
according to Guinness World Records And according to local reports, Muli successfully handled about 2,000 kilograms, or more than 4,400 pounds, of cement sacks placed in front of his body.
The challenge involved placing 40 cement bags weighing more than 110 pounds on a plywood board placed on top of it, while officials monitored the effort. Muli maintained the heavy weight for the required duration, reported by several outlets as five seconds, and achieved the new world record on his first attempt.
Although this record only lasted a few seconds, it represented years of preparation. Standing approximately 183 centimeters tall and weighing approximately 298 pounds, Muli has spent years building the strength required for one of the most physically demanding record categories recognized by Guinness.
After the successful attempt, celebrations broke out among supporters, who saw the achievement as a proud moment for Kosovo.
A record has been in the making for years
This is not Muli’s first appearance in the Guinness World Records database.
In July 2023, he set the previous record by supporting 1,531 kg of cement bags in the same sports hall. Reports also stated that he later achieved an unofficial personal best of around 1,819 kg and took the figure even higher this year.
Mullally has previously spoken about the sacrifices required to compete in extreme strength events, describing years of intense training and overcoming injuries to pursue increasingly ambitious goals.
National pride and bigger goals ahead
As of July 20, no controversies or injuries have been reported associated with the record attempt, and Guinness has officially recognized the achievement.
Local officials in Vushtri praised Muli for bringing international attention to Kosovo through his achievements, while videos of the successful lift are spreading on YouTube, Instagram, Facebook and other social media platforms.
Despite now holding the verified record with 2,000 kg, Muli previously suggested he hoped to exceed 2,500 kg one day, indicating that his quest for even greater feats of strength may not be over.
