I will be showing how dominant I am on the strict press! - Blackpool's Titan prepares 6th record attempt
“It’s inspiring, records are meant to be broken, that’s what they are for, to achieve the unachievable and be the best version of oursleves.
Blackpool strongman Steve ‘Titan’ Stevens is preparing to attempt his sixth world record next week at the Nottingham Motorpoint Arena.
Known as the UK’s number one circus strongman, Steve has become a viral sensation following appearances on shows including Britain’s Got Talent, Comedy Central, Sky TV’s DAVE and Channel 5.
He’s a UK and world record holder as well as the winner of the 2022 Wilkinson Sword Award at Blackpool’s Community Sports Awards.
Now the mighty Blackpool muscle-man is aiming to attempt to break a strict press record currently held by former World’s Strongest Man competitor and five-time UK’s Strongest Man Glenn Ross - a record he has held for 20 years.
The gruelling challenge will see Steve do as many strict single arm presses as possible with a 78kg weight, within two minutes.
Glenn Ross’ record currently stands at 13 repetitions.
But Steve is no stranger to record breaking.
Last year he set a world record named after himself, the ‘Titan Press’ where he strict pressed 121kg above his head with one arm using no momentum.
