Scottish man lifts barbell while unicycling to break world record
Published in Weird News
(UPI) A Scottish athlete combined two of his interests and earned a Guinness World Record for lifting a 150-pound barbell over his head while riding a unicycle.
Josh Auld, 34, of Edinburgh, said he received word from Guinness World Records that he is now the official record-holder in the category of heaviest single weight lifted by barbell overhead press while riding a unicycle.
Auld, a professional unicyclist and a coach for athletic TV series Ninja Warrior, said he used his free time during the COVID-19 pandemic teaching himself how to combine his hobbies of unicycling and weight lifting.
The athlete said it took him about 6 weeks of practice before he was able to successfully set the record.
