(WSBT) At first glance, Blake Harris looks just like any other 15-year-old kid. But upon further review, you'll see that Blake packs a lot of power!

Last month, Blake competed at the World Bench Press Championships in North Carolina. His lift of 187.5 pounds broke the world record which had stood for 7 years!

"I wanted to break the World Record, but I wasn't sure if I could do it. I knew what it was," he said.

Blake began weight training when he was just 8 years old. Not in the gym, but at home. He started with push-ups and eventually graduated to the bar.

"We bought him a weight set, and just made sure he did a lot of high repetitions, low weight lifts. Nothing heavy, just a lot of reps. And he did a lot of pushups," said his father, Terry Harris.

Seven years of training under his father's supervision has sculpted Blake into the strongest 15-year-old in the world.

"At one point, he could do 100 pushups in a row ... without stopping," Harris said.

And with one world record already to his credit, Blake doesn't plan on stopping now either.

"I'll probably go to more competitions, and see what I can do in different weight classes. See if I can break more records," he said.
