A Lancaster man has broken a world record by lifting the heaviest weight using only one arm.

31-year-old Josh Lancaster competed at the Strongman Competition in Preston yesterday where he smashed the previous world record of a single arm dumbbell world record lift of 96.2kg by lifting 96.7kg on his first attempt at Kaos Strength Gym.

For his second attempt he went on to lift 100 kilos, rendering him the lightest person in history to lift this weight overhead using only one arm.

Josh, who runs Lean Body Strength Club in Morecambe, said: "I feel amazing. I said and believed I was strong enough to lift the record, but to follow through with my words on the day and actually do it was great.

"I also said I would beat the previous record, and then go for 100kg next, to be the lightest person in history to achieve that lift."
