After lifting a total of 2,492.4 pounds by dumbbell curls in one minute in December, Virginia Beach’s Johnny Miller recently got word that he had officially broken a Guinness World Record. "It’s still hitting me right now," said Miller, a motivational speaker and Air Force veteran. "I’m excited but I feel so, so humbled by it because I don’t have (a certificate of the record) in the house.
I’m not putting one up. But I would like my dad to have one, who I’m planning to dedicate my next record to. I would like to have one up to basically inspire and motivate everybody else and show my appreciation to Onelife Fitness and the entire training staff.
I couldn’t have done it without them." Miller said he’s always been interested in strength training, but with military service and an attempt to make it in the NFL, lifting and exercise became part of his everyday lifestyle.
In order to prep for the attempt, which needed to surpass just over 1,300 pounds, he said he worked with various amounts of weights to find a sweet spot in order to get the most reps and set the record as high as possible.
