Kicker - God’s strongman

NICK EICHER, HOST: Well if we’re honest, many of us, by the time we’re well into our 50’s, we’re trying not to throw our backs out lifting heavy things.

And that’s why Kevin Fast is such an inspiration.

He is a pastor at a Lutheran church near Toronto, and at 58 years old, he’s still going strong. REALLY strong.

Fast is a decorated strongman with well over a dozen world records to his name. And he just added another Guinness plaque to his impressive collection.

AUDIO: 3-2-1, go!

Fast pulled a 40-foot New York Metro Transportation Authority bus and he did it while sitting down!

That pull shattered the record for the heaviest vehicle pulled using only the upper body. He did it live on ABC’s Live with Kelly and Ryan.

EMPRIC: I can announce the distance of 15 feet, 28,850 lbs. Kevin, come on over!

The previous record was a 24,000-pound truck.

And by the way, that record belonged to Fast as well. He set in 2017, then just a youngster—at 54 years of age.

It’s The World and Everything in It.
