Darren Greenfield, Defying Limits with a Record-Breaking Lift

Oh, my God

I lost my leg on a motorbike when I was 18 years old. It had been hailing and raining in the morning

I hit a manhole covering the road, then the bike slipped. A lorry was coming the other way and pinned me down to drag me 30 yards up the road

So my leg literally came off on the scene. It was clinically dead for six minutes

And that was when I was 18, that was. So, yeah, 33 years ago

My name's Darren Greenfield. The current record is 91 kilos for a standing log press for an above-knee amputation

The warm-up went really well. The log press is three different movements

A deadlift. Drive the log to your chest. Then the press. DARREN GREENFIELD

Darren Greenfield! The crowd is just another level

I was a fitness fanatic before I lost my leg. It's never dwelled or held me back

Basically, I just, like, went from being a person with two legs

to being the same person but just with one leg. I was in the bed playing with dumbbells while I was in the hospital

I'm always up for challenges. I think the moment just got the better of me

I cleaned it to my chest. And as I was pressing it, I just went light-headed and that was it

So I had to put it down. And I struggled then with a bit of balance issues with the leg

We've got one to settle, so I'll be back for that. When I failed the lift at the UK's Strongest Man

I knew I had the strength to press the log press. Everyone's slightly different on the warm-ups

I'm like an old steam train, so I have to really do a lot of reps

before I go for the max reps, shall we say. The heaviest log lift, LA1

This is an official Guinness World Records attempt. Darren, are you ready

I am, yes. Lifting your own time. What goes through my head before a lift

It's a personal goal. Leave a legacy for my family, my kids, my grandkids

I just concentrate on making sure everything was right, my foot positioning was right

When I'm feeling it bouncing on my chest, I know I've got it in the right spot

and then the press just went nice and smooth. Do it! Move

Woo! I can now reveal that you achieved 95kg

You are officially amazing
