He lay under the snow for 2 hours: a record attempt by a Swiss powerlifter!

Swiss professional powerlifter Elias Meyer has tested himself physically and mentally, redefining the absolute limits of human endurance. He entered the Guinness Book of Records and set a world record for the longest time spent under snow.

Meyer's extraordinary test took place in the Swiss mountains. He chose a place where the snow was particularly dense and deep. The temperature was -10°C. Elias managed to stay under snow for two hours and seven seconds without stopping in such difficult conditions, breaking the previous record in this regard by 22 minutes. Previously, this result belonged to Polish athlete Valerian Romanowski, who stayed under snow for an hour and 45 minutes in 2022.

This record is no coincidence. Meyer has undergone special training for a long time, training his body to withstand extreme cold and pressure. He emphasized that the most difficult part was not the cold, but the heavy weight of the snow:

“The hardest thing for me was not the cold. The weight of the snow put a lot of pressure on my shoulders and elbows. But a mentally prepared human body is capable of incredible things,” Meyer said in a statement.

According to him, through this test, he wanted to demonstrate the unlimited potential of the human will and body. He also emphasized that, along with physical preparation, mental stability is also crucial in achieving any feat.

Elias Meyer’s record aroused great interest not only in the world of sports, but also in all circles interested in testing the limits of human capabilities. His achievement was announced on the official Guinness website and was widely covered in the media around the world.

Thus, Meyer, who emerged from under the snow, not only overcame the cold, but also became a source of inspiration for millions of people.
