'If I could give my younger self advice, I would say to have faith that if you put the work in, you will get the results – though it might not seem like it at times.' ✍️ stoltman_tom writes for MetroOpinion
As I lifted up the last – and heaviest – stone onto its podium, I quickly shot a look over at my competitor and saw he hadn’t finished yet.competition in 2021, which immediately felt surreal. Overcome with emotion, I dropped to the ground and then felt my brother, Luke, hugging me.
Pre-training, I’ll have a burger and chips , then I’ll have 350g meat, potato and veg again for dinner, then a protein shake and some fruit after that. When I won the previously mentioned stone off – cementing my place as the winner of the competition – I felt so many different emotions. Firstly, it felt great to be the first man from Scotland to win WSM.
To prepare, I have a very strict training regime that’s built on routine. I train five days a week and always at the same time of the day. To hold yourself up against the strongest men in the world, you can never miss a day. Consistency is the key.Training intensifies in the lead up to competitions, which typically starts 12 weeks out. We are ultra focused during this period on all aspects – training, diet and recovery.
When we were first getting into the sport, there weren’t any professional strength centres in our area, so we had to become inventive in our training – finding boulders on the local beach to practise our stone lifts.
