Britain’s Strongest Man 2026 🥉🇬🇧
The events!
Axle Deadlift - 270kg X 6 🥈
First out here on short notice - quick last warmup at 240 and in! 5 reps, rest-pause and fired a 6th. Strategy paid off here under pressure!
Log - 125kg X 2 🥈
Been a great prep here, target was 4-5 😅 Every lad I spoke to found the log felt a metric tonne on the day, still not pinned why. Good points in the bag here.
Shield - 30m X 140kg - 16.00s 🥈
Main win here was bicep scar staying closed 🤗 Pulled the trigger hard here and about 0.3s off Flash in the lead. Oh this was FUN. Put me into first place on the scoreboard!
Yoke - 30m X 300kg - approx. 23 seconds? TBC - 4th
Massive improvement on my showing here at Englands - smooth is strong, strong is fast, right? Room to continue improving here but very pleased with this!
Stone to Shoulder - 120kg X 1 - 🥉
Start of prep 80kg felt like another bicep tear 😬 Come comp day, 5 events deep and 120 felt like a toy 🌶️ Launched the stone 4 times, didn’t quite have the accuracy or the minerals to stabilise it on three occasions. Yes this event cost me but this was a HUGE win, by FAR the best stones have felt since injury.
Overall a consistent performance - lots of improvement made, lots of room to improve further. BMT baby 🇬🇧

This will be as concise as possible with a full write-up to follow:
@flashdan87 🥇 @deanmcviestrength 🥈 - surreal that the athletes I idolised some short years ago I’m now battling it out with split seconds and single reps to shape the podium! A privilege to compete with, fair to say we put on a good show ey 🌶️
Top lineup of athletes in the u80kg class - good vibes all day and always a pleasure to compete with old friends and new faces.
@strengthforge_ 🧙🏻♂️First words after event 5 to Jon were “there’s more!” - the progress we’ve made since January is wild, across the board shifting up the gears 😈 We’re building a whole new animal and this is only the start. Truly grateful for my space on the team!
@mikeshredds 🥩 Every single prep and comp runs better than the last, Mike says jump and I’ll ask how high. We’re taking this all the way to the top. Best fed team in the game 🌶️
@bionik_strength 🏡 The kit, the team, the good energy day in day out. Counting my blessings to have a place like this to train from!
@unbreakable_promotions@its.rainie and the on-floor team: comp ran like clockwork, couldn’t honestly have asked for more from an athlete or a spectator standpoint 👌🏻
My family & loved ones as ever are the loudest in the crowd and give me purpose, direction and my ‘why’ ❤️
BMT baby 🇬🇧
Back end of prep into Britain’s Strongest Man, it’s been a ride 🌶️ Naughty blend of getting jacked, slinging tin and living life

10th 🏅 at the Arnold Classic Novice from Seila!
Seila’s 2nd competition taking a HUGE step up to the big stage and bringing the heat 🔥
🌶️ Deadlift - 120kg - 11 reps! 85% of current 1RM for double digit reps is just scary 😅 Nailed our rep-cycling strategy to the letter here, efficient and calculated
🌶️ Husafel 30m - 60kg - 16.5s ⚡️ closing in on the 2 M/S mark in a first competitive season is wild!
🌶️ Axle - 50kg - 5 reps, 3 disallowed: Seila’s pressing efficiency and power output is INSANE… watching for down commands? We will work on 😉
🌶️ SBag to Shoulder - 50kg - 13 reps: played in to Seila’s WL background here, paired with an adaptive pacing strategy she hit the nail on the head 🤞🏻
🌶️ Farmers 30m - 60kg P/H - 23 seconds. Limited kit access in prep and 5 events deep, still securing solid points here with a smooth run!
🔥 Top 5 placing on 3/5 events - Seila’s potential is HUGE and momentum keeps building. I’m excited for what Seila’s future holds in the u64s as she establishes herself as a well-rounded, dangerous athlete!
3rd 🏆 at the Arnold Classic Inters for Liv!
Huge performance following her debut England’s Strongest Woman - ‘dark horse’ of the u73s proving again that there’s a new heavy hitter on the national scene 🔥
🌶️ Deadlift - 160kg - +7.5kg for a new 1RM, took a high risk high reward peaking strategy here and paid off massively! +15kg on Liv’s deadlift so far this year!
🌶️ Husafel - 80kg 30m - 14.93s 🤯 Event WIN 🥇 Way over 2 m/s moving speed, absolutely lost for words. Moving events continue to get savaged.
🌶️ Axle - 70kg - 5 reps for a new 5RM! 2nd place 🥈 Work on strategy, efficiency and contractile dynamics paid off nicely here!
🌶️ SBag to Shoulder - 60kg - 8 reps. Big points in the bag here, calculated & well executed on pacing & efficiency!
🌶️ Yoke - 220kg 30m - the hardest battle in prep by FAR. Reworked an entire new strategy and protocol into this… just about survived prep, thrived on the day 😎 Full run, NO drops!
Quick turnaround now into UK & Ireland’s - u73 cat continues to get smoked 🔥
5 events, 5 huge PR’s, 1 more trophy to bring home and the 1 proudest coach in the UK that day 🤞🏻
First sesh at Kaos 2.0 and kicking off intensification phase for Brits 🇬🇧
🌶️ 133kg Log - first touch of anything heavy in about 2 years lol
🌶️ 128kg X 3 - prior to 133, little scruffy but press strength is in a good place!
🌶️ Top Axle DL trip - resisted the urge to pull the trigger on this, felt like a knife through hot butter
New Kaos is sexy.
Brits is getting raw smoke.
