As everyone has said though my age is too young which i have to take on board.
well, let's take a look

after 8 months,

bench 140kg - your own body weight
squat 140kg - your own body weight
leg press 600kg - nice! but again, i've got this skinny bloke at the gym that can LP 1100 lbs, which is 7x his own weight. You are around 4x your weight. More than i can do, but I'm not thinking about competing in a strong man contest.
deadlift 190kg - less than 1.5x our body weight

Mate,

these numbers suggest, in relation to your body weight, this is what most people can do with the same amount of time in the gym as you, with, maybe the exception being, the leg press. I do reps at 3x my body weight but am limited to max weight due to knee problems.

So to suggest that you need steroids to compete in a strong man contest, with your current numbers, and your age, I'd say fail. I'm not trying to be disrespectful, or trash your dreams. But you are just starting out, and I think it will be another few years before you are ready.

Your numbers when looked at by little guys, are pretty impressive. But you won't be competing against little blokes. You will be competing against big boys just like you. And these monsters will be able to do multiples of their own body weight.

Good luck!
