“Great comp today (‘Hands Across the Sea’, held at three worldwide venues (England, USA and Finland), where I broke the Two Hands Pinch World Record with 122.91 kg,: David Horne reported to IronMind yesterday.

“The last time I held the record was in 2010, and then I watched Laurence Shahlaei take it by a very small amount thirty minutes later.
 
“I am over the moon with my Two Hands Pinch Lift World record. I only took three attempts (no warm ups either), 109.5 kg, 117.81 kg and then 122.91 kg. I still had an attempt left, but my skin had torn quite badly by then and it wasn't worth going for it, and damage it further and be out of training.

“I have trained 14 weeks for this, and it is part of a 40-week plan to first get the record, and now move it higher. So I'm really looking forward to more hard and thoughtful training, and hopefully more records,” said Horne.
