@scotlandsstrongestman 2026 qualifier complete. What a qualifier that was, every single athlete put on a very impressive performance. Was great to see lots of previous winners of Scotlands strongest man there in attendance. I’d like to thank everyone for all the efforts they put in to make this probably the best qualifier yet. The crew members, what a team you all are, from start to finish every single one of you made this happen, without you all competitions like just just simply don’t happen. I’m privileged to have you all as a team and looking forward to doing it all again with you all on September 19th for the final. To the sponsors, Cerberus Strength, Strength Shop UK, John Gibsons Blacksmiths, Keith Murray Transport, Joes Sports Supplements, Xplosiveape, Atlas Endurance, Fullsterkur Photography, Fullsterkur Fife, Beerelaxed Sports Therapy, Full Potential Recovery, Tarley Mossop. To all the referees, the main MC Keldo, time keepers and head scorer Ben Joyce thank you for your time and commitment. I’d like to thank the athletes who made a contribution towards Bens taxi from Glasgow after the hire car mishap, especially Taz MmccLaughlin who made the decision to have the contribution. Thank you once again Sammy Jo for bringing your food van to keep all the crowed and crew fed all day. I’d like to thank my wife for everything she does in the background and on the day of competition, she actually spent 8hrs the following day at the gym getting everything back in order which included moving all atlas stones back. I want to see all athletes make the final fully fit and ready to go, as this years will be even bigger yet again. Mark my words 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Had the opportunity to help load at the Scotland’s Strongest Man official yesterday at Burns Gym and what can I say, would have been easier competing 🙈😂🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💪🏼, have to take my hat off to the guys who load all the time at these big comps. The quality of the athletes competing yesterday was just insane, it was top class to watch 👏 , the guys just keep getting better and better every year 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💪🏼, and big respect to Chris Beetham Beefy for turning up to put himself through that against a strong line up just for fun 👏, what another successful comp run by Stuart Murray 👏 and Kendo keeping everyone on their toes on the mic 🎤. Hoping to be back on the other side of the line competing next year 💪🏼🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿, good luck to all who have got the invite to the final at the SEC, be there to cheer yous on 💪🏼💪🏼, the most entertaining moment of the day was travelling in a van with training partner JP the machine for an hour and a half each way 😂💪🏼 #ScotlandsStrongestMan #Qualifiers #gym #strongman #strengthtraining

80% of success is just showing up. I put myself in a position where I could have looked pretty silly, doing a qualifier for a comp I have already qualified for - @scotlandsstrongestman I wanted to put in a good performance first and foremost, quieten some doubts I was having about myself and answer some questions in my heart if I honestly still wanted it as bad as I used to. I think I have my answers. 3 event wins, a 3rd and a 4th. Highlight of the day for me was winning the drag, I put a lot of effort into training that all winter and turned a weaker event into a strength. Great to see so many new faces banking their spots in the final and another hugely successful ssmq! Well done to @stuartmurray29 and all involved in the running of it, you are hugely appreciated ❤️ Shoutout to my coaches: @strengthforge_ and @coachclarke_ for going above and beyond in the last 6 months! We go again. Thanks as always to my team at Dodge, you know who you are ❤️ Finally thanks to @kirstydoch for putting up with my shit ideas 😂😅😘 Sponsored by: @cerberus_strength - BEEF10 @dnscreativedesigns #scotlandsstrongestman #giantslive #dadstrength #
