On this day 10-years-ago, the record for the heaviest weight lifted by the nipples was broken by “The Baron” from Finland at Bush Hall, London, UK in 2013 :man_lifting_weights:

As required in the guidelines the weight was lifted over 10cm from the ground and held there for over 5 seconds. The Baron actually held them for 8.46 seconds :stopwatch:

“The Baron” is no stranger to tricks involving extremely close encounters with drills, hooks and nails, not to mention fire🔥

He topped the lot by lifting 32.6 kg (71 lb 14 oz) with his nipples at Bush Hall in London, UK, on 19 Jul 2013 :scream:

The previous record was 31.9 kg (70.5 lb) and was achieved by Sage Werbock aka “The Great Nippulini” :us:in Hulmeville, Pennsylvania, USA on 26 September 2009.
