    Amazing attempts and successes! Huge kudos to Nick for making the lift. That being said most of Paul’s exhibition lifts we’re not maxes, and the relative ease seen in the video of this hip lift is apparent in not only making the lift but how he then swung it back and forth (a bit) to show all the legs were off the ground. His structure was perfect for these type of things.

      Before anyone says anything, I'm a huge advocate for weed; being a regular user. I only mentioned the weed because he said it has helped him with dealing with pain, but I believe the reduction of weight and exercising his core is what probably helped in the long run.
