Brendan’s second charity challenge is a true test of strength and determination: a 100kg bench press for maximum repetitions in a single set. Often seen as a benchmark of upper-body strength, the bench press represents more than just physical power for Brendan — it symbolises resilience, discipline, and the refusal to make excuses. After facing significant medical challenges and spending years away from the gym, Brendan committed to rebuilding himself step by step. Over the past year of training, he progressed from that starting point to completing his first major challenge — a 150kg squat for maximum reps — and now he’s ready to push even further. This challenge isn’t just about lifting weight; it’s about proving what’s possible when you show up, stay consistent, and fight for something bigger than yourself.
