71-year-old Hungarian powerlifter Janos Fabri set a new world record by deadlifting 260.5 kilograms (574 pounds) at the Men's and Women's Masters World Powerlifting Championships in Estonia. 

Fabri competes in the 83kg weight class in the Masters 4 division (age 70+), meaning he was able to lift more than 300 percent of his own body weight - and he celebrated by an epic mean mug.
