2022 just a wee guy helping at the first Natural Strongman UK and Irelands
2026 just a wee guy with a mic helping at this years Natural Strongman UK and Irelands
Just a small cog in massive wheel but loving every minute of it.
2022 me would have never believed I’d be on stage MCing for the best in the country but here we are and we aren’t stopping yet. Forever thankful for the folk who trust me with a mic. They know who they are 🫡
What a day down at @fullsterkurfife for @scotlandsstrongestman masters under 105s where I finished 9/13. Thanks to all who helped, loaded, supported, MC’d and everything else for such a class day
Anyone who’d spoke to me over the last few months will know I’ve said I wasn’t doing this and my prep has been awful. And while it was awful I was wrong about not wanting to do it. Cause I loved it. 18 months without a comp and I loved almost every minute of it.
Deadlift - the event I’ve zero’d most a comps. Single at 250. Meant a lot. 2nd last but only wanted one rep.
Log - 100kg for reps. Wanted 3. Got three. Bottom third. Double dip the first then found my stride.
100kg husa bag 30m. Didn’t get hands on with a 100 bag until yesterday and hardly trained it cause of my forearm. 14 ish seconds. 8th I think and happy with that. I believe the quote was ‘quick for a wee chonky guy’
290kg yoke 30m - wanted sub 30. 24 seconds. Like Husa bag I think I can be a second or two quicker but zero complained after how I’ve trained last three months. 6th place
Stones - this is the one that got away. Three outta six and I really feel like I should have had most of that run but wasn’t to be. Can’t complain tho as the load on the 100 and 110 was class.
Big thanks to @the___beef@team__beef__coaching for putting up with my shenanigans trying to train round my MC stuff and work. Lucky to have two awesome gyms to train in with @dodge_city_strength and @thefoundrypaisley with some of the best folk in the sport too.
Can’t honestly say how proud and happy I am seeing @miss_lisa_death in the crowd and having her with me made my day so much better. 🖤 we do need to get you a warm comp day pack tho
What an awesome day with some awesome folks. Lucky to have this sport and the folk in it.
Strongmen and women at comps - why can’t we have atlas stones?
Also at comps applying tacky like this (grade 2 @cerberus_strength tomorrow for me use code Keld0 for fuck all off)
Class wee day on Saturday @fullsterkurfife for Fife’s strongest novice. Another comp banked on the mic 🎙️ wee road trip day with @miss_lisa_death
Fantastic wee day and wonderful pics as always by @thefullsterkurphotographer if Claire is taking pics at your comp I highly recommend getting them 📷
Best training has felt in a while so you all get a reel. Thanks to @victorystrong_coaching for the session and the hype
Log moving ok
Yoke was alright
Stones actually felt good
120kg husabag pickups finally clicked
Let’s see if we can keep this going @the___beef@team__beef__coaching
Valhalla, Vikings and Vodka Martinis (make it double dirty)
Weekends off work but make them more fun
York with you was a blast. Here’s to more trips @miss_lisa_death 🖤
