hes just won uks strongest man at age 23 id say it was a great celebration. no need be negative, every has been positve bout ken n every other competitor n thats the only comment u can make bout the winner n a guy u dont know n dont know how much it means to him n how hard he has worked.
bit poor n bit childish mate


My comment has nothing to do with the fact that I am kens brother and nothing to do with the fact that ed had just beaten Ken. Ed was the better guy on the day, no sour grapes here.

Of course winning uks is a big deal, if I ever won something like that I would be absolutely ecstatic, I just thought it was a bit much, its better to be humble than to be arrogant and thats how I think he came across, albeit I don't know him so I could be wrong.

And before you come back and have a fit, it's only an opinion Yo'ure allowed your's and vice versa.

Ed was asked to do it by the director, and its what makes good tv Glenn told us before the comp to be extravagant and create a charactor for ourselves as it makes it more interesting for the viewers and will get us noticed and bring in more sponsorship for ourselves and strongman as a whole

In that case his response was entirely justified.

I think everyone should judge people on meeting them and not on how things look or what others say ..


I've met and a a good chat with Ed and he seems like a really nice guy who believes in himself.

Ken is improving at an alarming rate too .. These are the future of British Strongman .

Mark makes a very good point. I had the pleasure of spending time with Ed and he is a very funny and nice fella. He acts up to get psyched up and for the crowd/TV. Behind that he is a guy that just loves the sport.

Ken is improving and has managed to stay grounded. Cracking lad and well deserved his spot.

Top 3 was perfect for the comp imho. An Englishman, Scotsman and Welshman.

There is a lot of talent coming through. I realise that I need to up my weight if I want to be considered in that bracket. I felt f**king tiny at the UK's!!! Next year will be better for me. Happy to make the final on my 1st go, and 6th out of 16 ain't bad, just not good enough!! Hehehe.

No more bloody arm wrestling though! I only did one bout, threw the next 2 as my biceps was strained and I have still got shooting pains almost a week later!

Cracking comp and looking forward to next year.

Can't decide if I am going to be happy or embaressed to watch myself on TV! Probably both! Not my best comp performance, but happy to make the final on my 1st attempt.

The only thing I truely want to see is my tyre flip. I've contemplated a lot since August, was there more I could of done to get those few extra points for 1st place... but first time in the final, first time on the podium, can't be too disheartened by that I guess.
