Man with "world's strongest nipples" uses piercings to pull weight of two grand pianos

When you think of all the weird and wonderful things that us humans can do with our bodies, have you ever thought of using your nipples to pull something incredibly heavy? Well, this man did exactly that and broke a Guinness World Records title in the process!

On 30 August 2025, history was made on the set of Guinness World Records - Die große Show der Weltrekorde, in Munich, Germany, with an amazing body-related feat when “The Baron” (Finland) broke the record for heaviest vehicle pulled by the nipples (male).

During his record-breaking attempt, he successfully managed to pull the kind of carriage you’d expect to see a horse pulling, one that weighed 991 kg (2,184 lb), with his partner sat inside of it to make up the correct weight.

Fort context, that weight is about the same as one and a half cows or two grand pianos.

“World’s strongest nipples,” The Baron said after claiming his world record.

The previous record, by Sage Werbock aka “The Great Nippulini” (USA), stood at 988.5 kg (2,179.27 lb).

In the video, you can see The Baron pulling the cart with metal hoops pierced through his nipples. He takes many steps while attached to the vehicle to break the record. At the end of the video, you can see him celebrating with the hosts and with his partner as the crowd gives a huge cheer for his amazing feat.

The Baron’s wild record-breaking attempts do not stop there, though! He has held the record for heaviest weight lifted by the nipples (male) for over a decade. He smashed this record on 19 July 2013 at Bush Hall, London, UK, where he successfully managed to lift weights of 32.6 kg (71.87 lb) that were attached to his nipples.

In the guidelines for this record, he had to ensure that the weight was lifted at least 10 cm off the ground, and he had to hold it for at least 5 seconds, although he actually did it for 8.46 seconds!

He has travelled across the globe, performing in places such as Berlin, Singapore, and New Zealand to name a few, and he has even appeared on both America’s Got Talent and Britain’s Got Talent.

The Baron is a man of many talents, and we can’t wait to see what he gets up to next!
