“They hated him, for he spoke the truth.”

Class day out with some of the team getting them comp ready 🙌

PB’s sent and dialed in for a comp next week 💜

These are all mint… But which is the best feeling? 🙌

Bit of this, bit of that 👊

Getting stronger, getting leaner, getting better 🙌

Big shout out to The Lifting Academy Athletes competing this weekend 💪

Jacob, Che & Ben will all be stepping up to The Summer Showdown, send it lads! 💜

Been a good year for competing so far 🙌

Set myself a goal of 10 comps this year and purely enjoying all of them, and we’re 6 down, with 3 more booked and feeling good.

Might need a last minute entry to make it to double digits but it’s a good year of enjoying the sport properly 💜

The rocks are mint, the people you compete with are better 🪨

King O’ The Styans Southern Qualifier 🪨

Class day down at biglifters Farm for this beautiful natural stone comp. Buzzing to come away 4th so we’ve qualified for the final up in Cumbria 🙌

Event 1️⃣ Stone to Shoulder Ladder - 7th - got the last one to chest but it needed a big more figuring out how to shoulder it.

Event 2️⃣ 156kg W***y Carry - 7th - Initially very disappointed with this effort because I thought it was a dreadful distance, but this thing just crushed me the moment I picked it. Better work on that gas tank 🤷‍♂️

Event 3️⃣ Stone Shot Put - 6th - I had no idea what I was doing here but shout out to Paul Wood for some tips beforehand to get a good distance here.

Event 4️⃣ Stone Press Ladder - 4th - Apparently we’re alright at pressing stones? Who knew 😂

Event 5️⃣ Stone Loading -🥈- Love a stone load, and had a quick play to figure them all out before and was happy to send it on a high.

Big thanks to and Ollie field for some tips on each of the stones, probably would have flopped without it 🙌

Thanks to Leona Jade Lawrenson for the support and videos as per 💜

Onto the final 🪨

Who the f*ck is that kid 😂

Looking back at photo’s and video’s of pre-weights Sam always blows my mind.

Little did he know what would happen by loving that one training session all those hears back 🙌

Solo sport with the best community 🙌

Won’t find a better bunch of strongmen and women to train and compete with 💪

Unbelievably grateful to see how The Lifting Academy has grown in the last few years 💜
