A teenager who lifts his mates' cars has has been crowned Britain's Strongest Schoolboy.
Kye, 17, trains by partially lifting a 1.2ton Peugeot 106 and 1.4ton Nissan Micra - which is 15 times his bodyweight, reports The Sun.
The 15st lad - dubbed Superkid - said: "One day a mate said I looked so strong I should try lifting his car.
"I thought 'Why not' and it became a habit."
Kye clinched the Strongest Schoolboy title after picking up 12st logs seven times, flipping 50st truck tyres and lugging 15st barrels across fields.
Kye, who has 16in biceps, put on six stone of solid muscle in just two years with a gruelling nine-hour-a-week regime of squats and lifts.
He can now lift 34st - twice his bodyweight.
Kye, from Bristol, was a keen karate fan as a child and could lift 22st aged 15 - when he weighed just nine stone.
Proud dad Jim said of his win at the Strongest Man 2008 contest in New Romney, Kent: "Kye did brilliantly. I'm really chuffed for him."
