“Elizabeth's skin had healed from her last pinch attempt on the 2 x 20-kg discs, and so after armwrestling training she had a go for photos and videos,” David Horne said.  Regarding this particular lift, David Horne said, “I got three pics from this lift as she did a four second hold at the top.  [After this, Elizabeth] “had the cheek to go for a three-finger and thumb pinch, and lifted it an inch or so.”

Wait for a video on YouTube.
