Strength in Numbers as vegan smashes 1400 Rep world record

Kettlebell competitor Nicholas Thick has surpassed his own expectations with a performance which is in the process of being ratified as a world record.

The British 52 year old has competed in ultramarathons and endurance cycling as well as kettlebell.  In kettlebell he’s represented his country in events usually lasting ten minutes.  Kettlebell ‘marathons’ usually challenge lifters to complete as many reps as possible in an hour, Nicholas has just taken on a Super Marathon lasting two hours.

“I was hoping to hit 1,200 reps. That’s what I trained to do” he told Great Vegan Athletes.

“I totally smashed what I set out to do.”

Lifting a 20kg bell, for 2hrs non-stop, Nick scored a rep count of 1,404, which is around 11.7 reps a minute.

Nick went Vegan 8 and a half years ago.

“As I delved deeper into my training. I transitioned to being vegan, finding more energy and better recovery on a plant based diet. Eating animals just never sat right for me. There are no gains from the digestion of animals and products produced from animals and their suffering.”

“You can get everything you need from a plant based diet.”
