Ultimate Strongman World Championship

This past weekend I worked at the Ultimate Strongman World Championship held at the Metro Arena, Newcastle. At the event I acted as therapist to the athletes along with a team of massage therapists. The day for me started at 4pm and 8 hours later we finished at 12 o'clock to then head back to the hotel for food.

Throughout the day I met some incredible people including the 12 strongest athletes of the world, their support teams and the rest of the 'Strength Team', including friends I have previously worked with. It was pretty cool floating around backstage, watching the athletes warm up, talking to them and helping to ease any niggles. All involved with the event were such amicable and interesting people! I really enjoyed meeting athletes from all over the world and making new friends within the sport.

The buzz of the event was incredible. What a show was put on! I'm looking forward to seeing what Glenn Ross has next in store for Ultimate Strongman!

Well done to all the competitors involved, especially Laurence Shahlaie who took the title of World Champion!


Here are some behind-the-scenes snaps from the event -

North of England Deadlift championships

On Saturday 5^th November I supported the North East Deadlift Championship as Sports Therapist, an event organised by North East Strongman Promotions, held at The Fitness Rooms in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne.

I always enjoy working on game days or at events such as this, as you get an awesome buzz from the atmosphere. The event was filled with laughs and some serious shifting of weight! I got to catch up with the amazing Anarchy Strength team who were sponsoring the event and met some cool new people too while enjoying good coffee! Not a bad Saturday at work!

I also had my new banner on show! Can you spot it in the photos?

Well done to all competitors involved, there were some very impressive performances!

Here are a few photos from the event - 

I also got to catch up with one of my sponsored athletes James Landless, who is soon to compete In Northampton.  

I’m looking forward to working at more Strongman events over the coming months and in the New Year! Thanks for the invitation North East Strong Man Promotions.
