Six discs with one finger, just an average morning"s work for the martial artist.
In front of multiple witnesses, he exhibited his remarkable strength by lifting six iron-weight discs, one weighing roughly 10 kg, one weighing 20 kg, three weighing probably more than 25 kgs, and one weighing 26 kg.
Guinness World Records announced the accomplishment on Twitter, saying, "New record: Heaviest deadlift with one finger — 129.50 kg (285.49 lb) by Steve Keeler" (UK). "Just a typical morning"s work for the martial arts master, six discs with one finger."
"It"s really difficult, but my fingers are strong, and I am proud of my lift," Keeler told Guinness World Records after reaching the milestone.
Steve has been training karate when he was 18 years old, and through judo grips he found the extraordinary strength of his hands. He also holds a 1st Dan black belt in judo and a 5th Dan black belt in Tsuyoi-Ryu Karate.
