In 2009 Baboumian broke the world record in tree trunks that had been in place since 2004 (at 105 kg body weight). On May 30th, 2009 he mastered a load of 162.5 kg at the 1st German Loglift Championship, which brought him the overall victory here. In the final of the National Strongman Series, the Germany Cup in Waging am See , Baboumian improved this record to 165 kg and again won the title of the strongest man in Germany (105 kg body weight).
