[edit] Reverted edit to record holder

I reverted this last edit [1] as I could find no reference to the name it was changed to using Google. The IP used to edit it has vandalized other pages during the same timeframe. If this was a valid edit, I suggest making a citation as to the source of the new information. Notary137 18:29, 11 October 2006 (UTC)


"Sucking the tummy thin", as the article says, is dangerous. You actually need to brace the stomach muscles like you are about to take a blow there. This may involve sticking the stomach muscles out slightly, and produces positive abdominal pressure to support the weight. Sucking the belly in is the result of negative abdominal pressure (sucking is always the result of negative pressure), and may cause the back to round off, and does not support the lift properly. Fixing the article. -- Octothorn 15:29, 28 October 2006 (UTC)


Could we please state that Bolton did his lift on drugs and using extremely heavy duty gear, which helps to lift A LOT!! Why there is someone who keeps editing it back?
