The first successful world record attempt in 1987 was set at 2 minutes, 24 seconds and the second successful world record attempt in 1988, was for 2 minutes, 53 seconds. Both records were set at the Armalite (now Armatomic) research laboratory under the direction of Craig Mills, the inventor of the pre-burnt carbon fibre multi-layer stunt suit system.

Martial Arts[edit]

Sterling began martial arts training in 1970 at the Chi Yun Kung Fu Woy club in the Houldsworth Hall on Deansgate in Manchester under Sifu George Taylor (later under Master Chan), as part of the British Kung Fu Council. Sterling began training Muay Thai under Master Sken[12] and Toddy[13] from 1975 to 1980 and during that time he was instructor at Master Toddy's club in Rochdale, England.

This was to promote a production of Claire Luckham's play, Trafford Tanzi produced by the Icelandic National Theatre. As a specialist strength and martial arts coach, Sterling helped to coach his new friend Jon Pall Sigmarsson in the martial arts and strength for another 3 World's Strongest Man wins.

Guinness World Record[edit]

In January 2005 Sterling produced and set a new Guinness World Record in Cadiz, Spain, to mark the launch of the Eli Lilly medication, Cymbalta. This was for mass participation plate spinning with 398 plates spun for 10 seconds.[14] Prior to this Sterling had set 2 other World Records, the 1st in 1987 for speed breaking 105 regulation blocks and done as part of the BBC's Children in Need programme. That record stood for one year until it was beaten by his friend Mac Gilmour who was also the Scottish Karate Champion on the ITV programme You Bet! in 1988. This prompted him to then make another successful attempt at the same world record, again for the BBC's Children in Need programme in 1989 (breaking 127 regulation blocks in one minute), making a personal lifetime total of 5 World Records to date.
