Welcome to the Guinness World Records Italian Show – a weekly video series which features the most astonishing, shocking and awe-inspiring record attempts from the seventh series of Italy’s Lo Show Dei Record.
 
This week’s episode is not for the faint-hearted as we see extreme circus duo "Monsters of Schlock" duo Burnaby Q. Orbax and Sweet Pepper Klopek take on some eye-watering record challenges.
 
Sweet Pepper was up first and successfully achieved the Heaviest weight lifted with hooks through the cheeks with an incredible 6 kg (13 lb 3.6 oz) haul.
 

 
Burnaby then smashed his own record for the Heaviest weight lifted using a hook through the forehead, raising a 4.5 kg (9 lb 14.73 oz) weight.
 
Following the attempt Burnaby said: "It hurts real bad. But it's so exciting!"

Burnaby holds a variety of extreme Guinness World Records titles including Most nails inserted into the nose in 30 seconds (15) and Most motorcycles driven over the body whilst laying on a bed of nails in two minutes (70).
 
One of the fearless record-breakers’s most shocking challenges took place on 25 October 2011, when he painfully heaved a 4,050-kg (8,929-lb) truck for 111.7 m (366 ft 6 in) in Vancouver, Canada to set a new record for the Farthest distance to pull a vehicle with meat hooks in the back.
 

 
Fellow 'Monster' Sweet Pepper also holds a number of titles including the Most animal traps released on the body in one minute (20).
