Talking Strongman

I catch up with 2001 World's Strongest Man champion, Svend Karlsen. 

I'm joined by new kid on the Strongman block Evan T-Rex Singleton, and we discuss his WWE career, his journey so far, and his hopes for this years World's Strongest Man. 

I'm joined by the one and only Polish Powerhouse Mateusz Kieliszkowski. 

Tom Stoltman is a rising star in the sport of Strongman. The younger of the Stoltman brothers is two times Scotlands Strongest Man, and has his sights firmly set on the world title. 

 

In this episode we talk about Toms career so far, how he got started in the sport, how the pressure and expectation for him to do big things has affected him, and very importantly, who has the worst jobbies. 

In this extra spicy episode, I catch up with five times Scotlands Strongest Man, Luke Stoltman. Luke and I discuss his career so far, his hopes and goals for the future, how he took a payout to become a full-time Strongman and of course, his baby brother Tom. 

I catch up with 9 X Canada's Strongest Man, JF Caron.

 

JF is the ultimate underdog in Strongman and regularly makes the top 5 in the biggest Strongman shows.

 

In this episode we talk about JF's goals, his gym, his history competing, his freaky grip, and loads more. 

I catch up with The World's Strongest Man, Martins Licis. In this episode we discuss his first Strongman competition, his friendship with Odd Haugen, who he rates as a Strongman, and lots more. 

Thor Bjornsson needs no introduction to strength fans. The 5 x Europe's Strongest Man, 3 x Arnold's Strongman Classic winner and 2018's World's Strongest Man talks to me about:

• His upcoming boxing match with Eddie Hall
• How he views online negativity
• What he thinks of the rumours that his family are intimidating
• How he started out in Strongman and his favourite Strongman shows
• Plus lots more! 

 

Derek Poundstone, in my opinion, is the best Strongman never to have won The World's Strongest Man. But he still enjoyed a hugely successful career in the sport, winning both Fortissimus and The Arnold's Strongman Classic.

 

In this episode, Derek talks about the small mistake that cost him the WSM title, his greatest victories, and how he feels about being regarded as a legend. 

Geoff Capes is a pioneer of Strongman and strength athletics. The two time World's Strongest Man is still the most capped British athlete of all time.

 

A lot has changed in the world since Geoff was top of the WSM podium, listen to hear his take on the modern Strongman and his incredible rise to the top.
