A South African strongman has shattered two world records in Parow, Cape Town. Riaan Steenkamp entertained a large crowd with a display of brute power.
With the sun belting down, muscles bulged as Steenkamp showed his stuff. Steenkamp hauled a truck The truck weighing 3 359kg for two meters; enough to shatter the record by a Frenchman of pulling 3 128 kg.
As if that was not enough, Steenkamp went onto break the
Ripley's Believe It or Not record in a super bike tug-o-war. He held on for 16 seconds, six seconds longer than the old record.
"Sixteen years of bodybuilding and it's paying off, I enjoy what I'm doing these days", said Steenkamp.
Now the man with the muscles plans another record attempt. He will hold four super bikes next time.
