Can Africa's Strongman Champion Blake Louwrens bench press Darren?

A freak in the gym but a gentleman in the streets, Blake has accomplished a lot in his short career in strongman & he needs your help

Strongman Champion
Blake is a local boy who has represented the province in swimming , water polo, and rugby.

He is the current champion of Africa in the 105kg division and 2nd in the world.

He is currently in training for his biggest Test yet, next year March he is off to Ohio to represent South Africa in the world champs.

He needs your help. The sport is not professional in SA and requires major funding for stuff like supplements , equipment and of course accommodation requirements when in the USA.

We caught up with him on the Hotseat and you won't believe some of the ridiculous weights he pushes in the gym and the records he has broken.

PS: You might doubt your gym personal bests after you see this:
