Khizar Hayat Khan weighs 436 (!) kilos and claims to be the strongest man alive.
Hayat, who is popularly known as Khan Baba, hails from the city of Mardan, in northern Pakistan, has risen to internet fame thanks to his imposing physique and a number of impressive feats of strength, including preventing a tractor from backing up, by holding it with his bare hands, and doing the same thing with a car, but using only one hand. However, these are apparently not his greatest achievements. He recently told reporters in Pakistan, that in 2012, during a weightlifting contest held in Japan, he managed to lift 5,000 kilograms. “No one can break this record,” he boasted. And I’d have to agree, even the real Hulk might struggle a bit with this challenge.
25-year-old Khan Baba, who comes from a wealthy family, says his body started developing abruptly when he turned 18, and he has been growing ever since. Instead of worrying about his growing weight, he decided to bulk up even more by adopting a high-calorie diet. He claims to consume over 10,000 calories a day, including 36 eggs for breakfast, four chickens, three kilograms of red meat and five liters of milk. Standing at 6ft 3in tall, Khan claims that his massive weight – nearly have a tonne – hasn’t caused him any health problems so far. “I don’t have any disease nor do I feel uncomfortable with my weight,” he said.
There have been various people worldwide who call this Pakistani Hulk for his fake claims and also raised questions to the authenticity of his videos.
The videos of Hayat which show the heavy man easily gaining control of the vehicles with minimal efforts as the vehicles struggle to get away from the man’s strength. The force used by the vehicles would ideally break the ropes which are attached, but nothing of that sort happens. Another important point that needs to be considered is that Hayat is always seen wearing a traditional Pakistani Pathani and covered with a shawl. This gives him an opportunity to use padding and appear larger that he actually is. His record of having lifted 5000 kilograms is not documented and is merely claims thrown around by the man.
