For a long time, strongman was a sport dominated by giants. But here I am, standing at 6'3" and 325lbs, rewriting what it means to be the world's strongest man, proving that it's not about being the biggest; it's about being the best.

Welcome to Episode 5 of "No Stone Unturned," where we delve into the evolving world of strongman, challenging the very essence of what was once believed to be a sport for giants.

We're tearing down the stereotypes, challenging the norms, and showing that being a strongman is about more than just sheer size. It's about strategy, training, and pushing the boundaries of what's believed to be possible.

At the end of each video, I'm going to provide a score based on three crucial aspects: Personal Enjoyment, The Scientific Evidence, and The Practicality for the Average Athlete. You'll be able to compare it to the other dimensions of this series.

I hope you enjoy and please share your thoughts in the comments.
