Started using my brothers 'Orbatron' plastic weights in my bedroom circa 1988. What I have achieved since then is nothing short of underwhelming...

i won the UK's in august 2005 and did my first wsm in october that year. i didn't get to do bsm that year as it was invite only and no one even knew who was. i made my first wsm final 18 months after starting strongman training

well done. (show off)
seriously though, I wonder if anyone has done so well with so little related training. It's nothing short of a little bit impressive!
seriously again (more so this time)...f**king mega!!!

Yes!to anyone starting out, if you drink enough lager and dont squat or deadlift for 20 years you too could look and lift like me...
Probably starting doing gay 'BB' stuff for rugby and drinking maximuscle shakes when i was 16 ish. Seem to recall doing lots of seated rows and 90kg deadlifts. Started training properly for strength about a year ago. Im 20 now.
Fannying about since about 14, boxed for a year or two mid 20s, then Mauy Thai- started strongman Novemberish last year at 28.
Started training BB style this time last year at the age of 14, been doing Strongman since febuary this year at the age of 15. As you can see i'm a veteran of this game

curls, pec dec and cardio since age 14, deadlifts and serious stuff since i was 15, so just under 2 years proper training.
7 years or maybe 8
But I don't realy count the first 3 years as I was just adding around and had no goals
