Kristin Rhodes Breaks Circus Dumbbell World Record 175lbs/79.6kg

Kristin Rhodes and Liefia Ingalls made history earlier this year at the Arnold Classic in Columbus Ohio by jointly setting the Circus Dumbbell record for Strongwomen by pressing a 165lb dumbbell for 2 reps. This weekend as a part of the Rogue invitational they attempted to break that by first pressing a 170lb dumbbell which Liefia narrowly missed. Kristin was successful so moved onto the 175lb attempt. After a close miss she recouped to successfully lock out the nearly 80kg dumbbell overhead pushing the record even higher.
