Hello all of you beautiful people out there I am Evan the T-Rex Singleton I am here with my good friend Gavin the bullton we’re going to ask each other a couple of questions pertaining to strong man life experiences maybe even a couple fun ones at the end so let’s get into

It yes let’s get into it first question that’s what she said what is your favorite memory or moment in strong man so far and we got a lot of great I can think of a few myself yeah but there’s a couple of Great Moments that stand out

In my career I’m not totally confident that I can pick just one yeah but the two the two that stand out to me are my first pro show giants live win the North American championships in 2019 Y and the first time that I officially joined the thlb deadlift

Club ohome I remember watching that show as well because I think Bill kasman gave you a bit of [ย __ย ] as well didn’t he yes he did yeah but that that’s not a negative because you kep come back [ย __ย ] absolutely smashed it which was yep it’s you all in M yeah that’s

Awesome I was a when you p ,000 as well yeah yeah it was on that night you also set the Welsh record that year yeah yeah 425 yeah y I think like seven people pull this that was a hell of a deadlift show that was seven guys over a thousand

In one night yeah incredible thing I I don’t know if we’ll ever see that again well I think everyone got carried away with a following you I thought it was going to happen again I was like let everyone slow down because I like yeah um You Came the cardi that was a great

Show uh awesome awesome awesome Gavin what are some of your career highlights maybe if you could pick one or two which ones really stand out to you getting on the podium uh in my hometown which at the Giants life uh the world open with the dead World Championships obviously

There theone you won yes sir um but coming second there’s no mean Fe to someone like yourself so was very happy and obviously the place I grew up so there a very very F memory and the first time my mother uh has ever watched me

Compete live so that was kind of cool to have my my wife and my mother and my family um that was kind of cool yeah super super emotional and then also this kind of not a negative one I don’t see it as negative but it kind of does sound

It was losing the Luke at the stone off in the worlds um I kind of put it as like it sort of like pushed me on more because I you know in my mind I should have beat him could have beaten whatever but I don’t we don’t live our lives like

That in this sport um I think you know me well enough that I don’t say should have would have could he beat me but it was kind of maybe proven to myself that I’m actually quite good at this Sport and and self acceptance is quite tough

For a lot of us and getting so close to making that fight and I thought not bad um so it just fighted me on to to have a pretty good season but it two my f Fondest Memories I will I will say this before we go on to the next question um

Then this is not to sound patronizing by any means any stretch of the imagination but I will say that ever since I started competing with you it has been awesome to watch you consistently get better yeah I means a lot me thank you well I’ve seen and again I haven’t been doing

Strongman for very long so I don’t want to sound like high and mighty or anything like that but I’ve seen guys make it to giants live and then it’s almost they Plateau or they start going down whereas you’ve made it to giants live and then you started getting better

And then you started getting better and better and better and I genuinely believe that it’s it’s 100% achievable and possible to see in the final next year I really do thank you very much man so on to question two um what’s your ultimate goal in the sport and what

Happens when you achieve it two weeks into training strong man for the first time ever I made a commitment to myself that I was going to win world’s strongest man I believed it in my heart wholeheartedly I pursued it with everything that I have and I still do to

This day and it is still my number one goal win multiple different shows and all that good stuff but the number one Pinnacle of achievement for me is to win the World’s Strongest Man always has been and it always will be no yeah believe it man so after you do that what

What then honestly I just I get ready to win it next year I I my my interest lies in winning World’s Strongest Man as many times as possible awesome man all right gav what is the ultimate goal for you in strong man and what do you do after you achieve

It um yeah it’s definitely got to be um I think we all have this this mad notion that we can win it this this 30 guys show up for a two or three-day show or four day show to win this title that only comes around once a year so like

Yourself I truly believe it and I think that’s such a healthy thing to have within the sport is young guys coming through like yourself and myself and you just tearing at each other to and the best out of each other so definitely I’m going to win the worlds that’s my

Ultimate goal cuz like it is it’s becoming the heavyweight champion in the world becom the fastest man on the planet um it is it is what it is it’s the Mount Olympus it’s the Mount Everest so winning that yeah and great great to like you know to have multiple titles

But um obviously age is against everybody and and the clock never stop so my my end goal is is so simple this is crazy is to win the Ws and do whatever I as much I can achieve in this world give my give everything I have and

Once it’s done I know it’s done if be hard leave but you know I think as professionals you have to say with him done so after it’s done it’s such a such a weird one for me is is to become a teacher my UL goal is just to

Be I love history this like thing with history I don’t know what is but yeah and also like to just Inspire that maybe I still run my gym and Inspire Inspire the Next Generation but I don’t think a lot of people know this my wife does um

Become a a history teacher mate such a i’ be the world’s strongest history teacher so so you’re a nerd got it yes yeah such a random thing strongest man teaching but I just um oh I don’t see that as much of like a downgrade it’s more like a change of personal interest

Yeah cuz I just I don’t know I did really well in it in school and college and all sort of stuff and put it aside when I joined the army because I wanted to be a teacher and thought yeah win the worlds then become a teacher so serious

Question yeah it’s definitely a serious one with that smile yeah it is it’s uh I don’t know I can get help it’s so stupid what you [ย __ย ] sake what you get when you cross a dinosaur with a pig Jurassic pork I’m so sorry the Dreadful M

Come why was that so hard to say I don’t know it’s the why are you so red it’s the Jurassic PK it’s the pork I don’t know oh my God right I hate you what you call it a dinosaur that knows a lot of words Asaurus they’re [ย __ย ] awful oh God I I actually do have a question for now though so biggest pet peeve in the gym straight off we’re just going to segue right into that yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah just wedge it right in yeah yeah so you Evan what’s your biggest uh

Biggest pet peeve in the gym my biggest pet peeve in the gym is not putting the equipment away when you’re done with it oh my God yeah I if there if there is one thing that will just I I I am that guy that if you come into my gym in Southside you

Deadlift and then you leave the plates on the bar I I am that guy I will take one of the plates off of the bar I will walk over to your gym bag and I will throw the plate in your gym bag as a gentle reminder to put your [ย __ย ] back

Put the [ย __ย ] weights away I love it it’s not hard and if you pulled it out you are strong enough to put it back back yeah I got I got to agree I spoke to Jo earlier pet peeve it’s phones it’s up there people on their phones I get it

You can music or check your program in sweat on the bench or on the equipment and then number one has to be equipment I I have a small gym that I run and I cannot stand it when people do stuff um ego lifting I don’t mind I can do

Whatever you want but then people just leave stuff out in my gym mhm oh my God and yeah they get told they get told yep yeah very fast you have me or Simon it’s it’s quite funny to watch Simon do it yeah well you know what under you know

What really um really gets under my skin also is a lack of respect for the gym whether that be putting whe whether that be putting your weights away whether um you’re coming in and just a conduct in the gyms your conduct yeah you’re not treating other members or the equipment

With respect um stuff like that because I learned I learned the hard way when I was when I started lifting weights when I was 13 I was yelled at by full grown men when I acted up in the gym that were not related to me and um I learned respect for the gym

Very fast and it’s a place that I like the gym I’m sure like you and like many many others the gym is almost like a sanctuary to me uh it’s my therapy it’s my home away from home it’s where I go to not deal with the world I guess you

Could say so when I see like a snot-nosed kid come in and he’s just arrogant and disrespectful and it just it agitates me to no end it makes my old wrestling days start to come to the top and it’s like if I see you do one more

Thing I’m going to double leg the [ย __ย ] out of you and it’s Gonna Hurt yeah man it’s yeah cuz I didn’t I didn’t ever think of like how like yeah it’s my gym or it’s your gym but like it’s the yeah it’s your Sanctuary it’s your church and when

You see people not giving a [ย __ย ] it’s it is such a bad thing because the gym isn’t the place to show off it’s the place to yeah like you said just forget it’s also not the place to be lazy oh man oh yeah yeah if you there’s all

Different levels to Fitness there’s all different styles of training I totally respect 100% all of that but if you come into the gym and you half ass anything I am going to have an opinion on you yeah because that tells me the type of person

That you are if you’re not here to work why are you hear at all yeah love it man where would you be right now if you were not a competitive strong man I thought about this a few times before I don’t I think I would have always ended

Up being a strong man I know it sounds it’s like almost not answering the question but it would have been strong man military I was a military man for 13 years so you could say oh maybe I’d still be serving i’ I always seen myself doing it I always it’s like it’s

Generational for people within this sport at any level you watch it was a kid Christmas time we ever at Christmas time and I was always like I want to be that guy so when I played rugby I was I wanted to be the strongest guy on the

Pitch whether I was in the gym or hit as hard as I possibly could when I boxed I wanted to be the like pushing the weight so like I think it’s 100 110 for heavy weights I wanted to be 110 so I want to be the biggest heaviest boxer when I was

A serving Soldier I want to be the fitness and the strongest guy there obviously be able to do combat Fitness and stuff so it’s strong man i’ always always always the road always led to here I can’t I can’t see like oh yeah maybe I would have been

A teacher no cuz the choices I made were never towards that so I can’t I got ask this before at Worlds I can’t I answer the same I can’t see myself I’m going to say it’s the same for you mate I just I just can’t the roads and the path and

The journey you were on I always believe you were always meant to be here always meant to be me Joe in this room same with everyone in the sport you don’t do it by [ย __ย ] accident you don’t lift you didn’t lift ,000 by accident you didn’t make it to the World’s Strongest

Man by accident didn’t all them podiums by accident cuz you said if you would half it this is not for me I can’t [ย __ย ] lift his weight so I think for guys like us it’s always a sport and you as a boxer you ask a fighter golf tennis you

Can’t see and if you can say you were someone else it’s not for you then if I would have been R I would have been [ย __ย ] this a professional that no then I think if you ask say imagine asking Conor McGregor where’ you to yourself you like

This I was always going to be a fight there right so I don’t want to jump the gun on you but I always think it’s it’s got to be oh no that’s that’s that’s that’s pretty accurate um there’s you yeah yeah I mean you I can I can easily say like

If like I have other interests outside of strong phys like I I would love to get into like MMA like serious MMA training um I I had to ask me anything on my Instagram the other day and said what do you want to do non-man related

With your life uh things that you would be proud of and I would and one of those things was I want to be a black belt in martial art in a martial art probably going to be brazu and uh yeah yeah stuff like that but as far as things that I like am

Meant to do genuinely I can’t see anything other than this this this is what I was like and it’s it’s it sounds so cliche and it sounds Hollywood and played out but the two weeks into my training when I said I I want to be world’s strongest man like

I just I knew it you know what I mean like I it’s almost like I just after trying amateur wrestling pro wrestling I was a firefighter for bit like I was a chef I’ve done every I’ve had a little bit of experience in almost every single

Field so I’ve tried a lot I tried bodybuilding like and when I did St man two weeks into it it’s almost like I felt like I almost just I fell into my place you know what I mean it man it it’s just a perfect fit yeah and like we said I

Think if you said anything else then it’s not true to yourself mhm so everything every choice you’ve made every job you’ve left or having bother go to the interview it’s here this is it yeah so I think you ask every guy at this level every girl at this level they

Should give you the same answer and most of them and all of them will this isn’t on the funny list favorite dinosaur tyrannosaurus rcks 100% it king of the dinosaurs Tyrant Lizard King the apex predator of North America how how big were they what’s about 40 ft long and about Jesus

Christ it was about 40 to 42t long and about 16 ft high at the hips what’s what’s the weight on something like that around 8 nine tons [ย __ย ] hell yeah dense arguably the some of the densest uh uh bone in all of the bedle yeah ancient Predators that’s amazing I

Absolutely love that that’s the sort of stuff I love love it I’m a big fan of cats so I’m just going to put that up there enough cats you look like it yeah what is the best advice you’ve ever been given in the support of strong man

Oh this is a good end so I explain Jo I didn’t want to give the full answer but [ย __ย ] just yeah I’ll talk forever it was off Graham Hicks my first crack at second crack at the worlds yeah yeah I was in great shape as we all know I went

About the wrong way so we had this old gym in moram that it was like a unit but there was like units with inside it so we trained in his gym did some mad deadlift and W being programmed then either so it was just some trying to

Trin my hickie [ย __ย ] don’t know what the [ย __ย ] I was thinking but took the invite did some crazy deadlift and we went outside and before I went outside he turned on these hallogen heaters there’s a few in this room little blowers so Phil this room no bigger than

This maybe a little bit twice the size as this so it’s not that big we Ed some moving come back in it was boilet and the first thing I said I didn’t want to train cuz I was a little bit hot and sweaty and the my hamstrings were

Hurting it was just a stone medy 100 then 120 back and forward with 200 and the first thing he said is you don’t have a [ย __ย ] Choice L like only met him a few times before I was like okay but you haven’t got a choice because are you going to

Say that the World’s Strongest Man are you going to say that Britain’s strongest man you going to say that every other show you get to I’m oh I’m a bit sore I’m oh I’m a little was he was he was [ย __ย ] [ย __ย ] is GRA hick for [ย __ย ]

Sake Britain’s strongest man at the time um and he was just pushing me smashing me and then I just I just oh I think my answer String’s a bit sore mate I push it out the session but I did it there’s a video somewhere of me with my belly

Hanging out somewhere blowing yeah that narrows it down yeah yeah just pick up just pick up like and um he just he just said you Haven going a [ย __ย ] choice so I’ve had some cool bits of advice um but yeah that was one of them good answer so yeah

I just throw throw the question back to you best advice You’ ever had whether that be strong man or just in general man um I think some of the best advice that I was given there was this was before worlds this year where I actually had the performance that I knew that I

Was capable of um yeah and I won’t give anything away but for the for the UK viewers who haven’t seen it yet but I had a very good performance at World strong span and everybody who’s been following my story knows I I I tore my bicep of my debut in 20

I got a really really bad stomach virus 21 22 I had 22 I had the analectic shock on the first event like I’ve I’ve I had that that curse at World’s Strongest Man my God so getting ready for World’s Strongest Man 20123 a bunch of Americans like me Bobby Thompson Kevin fars Trey

Mitchell we all went out to Colorado to train mcbrien yeah uh for his last show and or his last worlds and I was doing the podcast with and we were talking about everything life story experiences all of that good stuff and towards the end of the podcast I actually got I

Started getting really emotional I’ve seen it yeah yeah I know what you mean but yeah [ย __ย ] great watch we I was just I I I guess I got caught up in the thought process of actually sitting down and thinking like I put everything that

I have into this this is my world if I if I lost straw man right now I would go back home to America to nothing so this is my life and when I really sit down and I think about it it’s just it it it there’s no

Other way to say it it it [ย __ย ] bothers me when people talk about the best in the world people winning world’s strongest man who they think is the number one in the world then I’m not in that conversation it’s always it’s always guys like Tom stolman Mitch

Hooper um uh Alexi novakov Matas Kowski and that just that eats at me because I just like I work so hard and I’ve given so much I mean one of the things that I said on the podcast was I’ve lost girlfriends I’ve lost jobs I’ve I’ve I’ve been homeless I’ve had I’ve been

Broke yeah and I’ve still been pursuing this and it it it gets to me when people don’t consider me like one of the best because it’s all that I work for and the advice that Brian gave me he was like he he could tell that I was starting to get

There so he he took control of the conversation and he and um he talked a little bit about that and then he said the advice that he gave me and it still sticks with me to this day is don’t take criticism from somebody you wouldn’t take advice

From yeah and that just that has stuck with me ever since because it’s like I’m I understand the the character that I put on for strong man competitions I’m boisterous I’m loud I’m hooting and hollering I’m I’m bantering with other guys and all of that and I understand

That that’s not everybody’s cup of tea not everybody’s going to like that I totally get that and sympathize with that but every once in a while like those those those awful mean-spirited comments online every once in a while like I’ll just be having a bad day and

Then I’ll see that comment and it’ll just be like the Tipping Point for me yeah and then I just I always try to remember Brian’s advice and it helps yeah it’s cuz like yourself than that man exactly like at the end of the day who’s this random nobody commenting coming to my page

Talk [ย __ย ] on me when you’ve done with your life but you feel you need to voice your negative opinion about me on my page on my post it’s like in a sense it’s like who the [ย __ย ] are you B basically who the [ย __ย ] are you mate yeah yeah I know I I feel

Your pain but yeah who better to take [ย __ย ] advice off than and it’ be genuine with me you ain’t going to say something just like patch on the head Evans everyone going see your [ย __ย ] potential and me as athlete [ย __ย ] frustra in but it just makes me work

Harder so I can see it mate everyone can [ย __ย ] them NS who the [ย __ย ] basically who the [ย __ย ] are they so great piece of advice from one of the arguably the greatest WR man to ever walk this Earth me so agreed I’m such a like I’ve met

Him only a few times you’ve met him more than me probably you know him not better me I just don’t know what to say to him like at the showcast I was like thanks thanks mate like yeah but yeah man um Brian cha was an amazing dude and

Yeah [ย __ย ] awesome M Eddie I talked to Eddie a little bit when at shows and the stuff he says about him like the way they act on TV is nothing now he sees Brian he says that he’s one of the greatest people he he has in his life so

Thing because he’s a genuine humor mate he he an athlete as much as he is a great is as a sport that’s him as a person I’m yep you know him a lot better than I do I can I can just see iest to that yeah and like I said who better to

Take advice from me and mhm yeah nice guy mate I mean this I want to like so this was my question so Jo ask me because I believe I don’t like to blow smoke but people like ourselves who can do quite well of sports get quite close

To the top you could have been anything I believe that like you look Michael Jordan could have been a fighter could have been because of the the way they’ve pursued the career so why did you choose this why strong strong man just something do you think it’s just something that was like always

Going to be or just like it’s quite hard I know we may have answered it a bit earlier but this is sort of like oh no yeah like why it why honestly strong man for me was more of a uh experiment than anything else and

What I mean by that is after I got out of WWE and I was given the green light by my doctors to start exercising again I was very heavy and I didn’t like the way I looked so I committed to being a bodybuilder yeah and I ended up losing

115 kilos okay yeah yeah and getting on stage I I competed in New York and uh after I was done competing I kind of came to the conclusion that this wasn’t really the best for me I didn’t have a lot of fun doing it like the

Training was fun but the diet was just miserable so and the competing was strange I didn’t like some aspects of it so I was like okay in the realm of fitness and weightlifting in my mind there are three Sports there’s bodybuilding powerlifting and strong man those are the big three to me yeah

So I was actually committed to trying powerlifting first yeah because it was a lot simpler and I’ve never done strength based major lifts yeah yeah and I’ve never done strength-based training before so I thought that would be a good start and a good segue into strong man

So I wanted to do uh uh powerlifting I found a powerlifting and strong man strength based gym where I was living at the time in Lancaster Pennsylvania and I went to McMillan’s Training Systems I took a tour and there was somebody doing log there and I was like okay well oh

And and context I didn’t know what strong man was until I was about 24 yeah yeah so I had I like I didn’t grow up with it I didn’t watch it I I vaguely knew about it because of like the reruns on ESPN yeah so there’s a guy doing log and in

Between his sets I went up to him and I introduced myself and I asked him a couple of questions about straw man log specifically just a whole bunch of different stuff and he actually offered for me to jump in now I’m sure you can relate to this I

Keep my gym bag in my car at all times so I can work out whenever I want if the opportunity arises so I was like all right let me go get my gym bag I jumped in with him uh first time I ever did log I had a 300lb log press

Um and after the rest of the training he invited me to come back the next day to do some more strong man stuff I think we did farmers yeah and after about a week we and a half to two weeks that was when I came to that realization where I’m I’m

Loving the training I’m having so much fun um I love the physicality of it and then honestly my love for strongman grew as I competed because that’s when I started to experience the Brotherhood that’s when I started to travel I didn’t even know I didn’t even I before I did

Strong man I was never outside the country yeah and I’ve only been to like maybe three states I had zero interest in ever traveling yeah the second I started traveling for strong man I found out that I loved it yeah so my my love for the sport grew as I competed more

And more and got more involved in the sport but yeah it was actually just kind of like a happy accident amazing man I was think they would have been I believe in like Karma and Destiny and things L out there would have been a reason that man would have been training at that

Time you would have made a conscious I’ll skip this or do this or I’ll get there or traffic or a red light get I mean and you both just went Bo like yeah like stars a line in mate that’s class I love that man why the Welsh bow cuz I

Noticed that you don’t have horns no don’t no you don’t walk on all fours uh no and you don’t look like you eat anything green so why the Welsh bort it was a guy called Robert Khan who I served with on the first Hall of afcan

We were playing rugby when we go back cuz the Battalion was like on a bit of a chill out in 2009 and he just and I was playing rugby like battalion leville and he just said go on he like got the ball go on the ball and that was it it just

Stuck and then when I you just like oh yeah just balling around that’s all he just he was a bit of a m loose can and Rober KH um great rugby player good football player just good all round athlete never took anything seriously but I remember just taking into contact

Bosing someone and he said you hit that guy like a bow I was like oh yeah cheers mate s thing and we got really friendly sort of thing then when I left I was like you always have to have an edge big Z the Beast yourself T-Rex and soone

Like you’re going to call your something I was like well I’m not going to call myself I said I was called The Bull years ago but you got the Georgian bow so I was like it’s going to be the Welsh bow so the Welsh will stuck mate there’s

A guy called Robert KH if you ever watch this good friend of mine and he called me the bull I was like and for years on I boxed a bit in his head that’s s the same sort of thing but then I I got give myself like a [ย __ย ] Persona I’m just

Stuck watch well cheers Robert it’s done to you mate which would you rather the 230 log or the 500 kilo deadlift 500 kilo deadlift yeah yeah it’s probably the most Alpha lift it’s the most Alpha lift everybody recognizes a deadlift like it’s literally just picking up the

Heaviest weight off the ground I mean there it’s it’s as simple as you can get most people understand not to mention the amount of attention a heavy deadlift gets yeah all around the world yeah log press will be seen by by lots and lots and lots of people yeah I think he get

The same as well yeah yeah that looks monstrous exactly I’m holding a 500 kilo deadlift then my poster is going to be in a random shed in the middle of burrow Bridge England another serious question for you um you know you have tells you do know

That I’m a bad poker player here comes a serious question it’s kind of serious why can’t you hear the terod DOL when it goes to the toilet G Gab I don’t know why can’t you hear a pterodactyl go to the bathroom the peace silent gotcha who is your favorite strongman it

Has to be Gary Taylor so the only Welshman to ever win the title 1993 he was on the podium multiple times and also he won a lot he won like everything within the sport he was I think was a bodybuilder and an Olympic lifter did a

Bit of LIF in um then he won the title in 1983 so it has to be he’s one of my favorites I’ve never spoken a man I don’t think he ever he’s not even on social media get it I love to just have a chat with him yeah but he’s up there

And also I like I don’t think I got one he is that because of what he is to me within this sport but like Brian Shaw phenomenal guy got got to know him a bit more at the shaw classic earlier this year Eddie Hall um just a nice guy um

Get talk a little bit of shows um I don’t know if there’s any others and yourself mate genuinely yourself yeah um I I like I like get on with everyone in the sport but yeah you as well mate you got to be up there bro cheers yeah

Definitely you know like you you spoke to me about my father he didn’t bother messaging me which was I thought it was a nice touch cuz we spoke at the show classic I just I knew when you even said you said I didn’t want to I was like

Yeah thank you very much you know how all of that goes if something unfortunate happens in life your message box blows up and I didn’t want to contribute it would got lost and that was the worst thing but yeah thanks for the that’s not just on a knock but I

Like that mate thank you very much of course and he’s fine by the way now he’s hold everything yeah he’s doing good pain in the ass so what do you think about the evolution of this sport um it’s it’s crazy in the past 10 years itself you go back 20 years it’s

Got even more and I just don’t think there’s any limits to what the human body can actually do the likes of I am B are proven that overhead this I mean like if we’re talking about the strength sport itself you look at Power LIF in 500 kilo squats are happening now and

Insane bench happening Eddie Hall I think was the first like he broke it when he pulled 500 kilos to prove that this if you want it you can do it um I can’t really put into words I just have to describe the situations of AMX Enzo

And look at Thor at this sport I mean you put thorw or Brian Shaw or big Z or yourself into any era and oh my God this generation this past 10 years stratospheric it’s been insane and I I can’t see a lid on it m i don’t understand when baby presses stuff I

Just don’t get it and just like St press in like there was it 200 kilos a couple of weeks ago at this gym yep and I I’m just like I’m like it’s we’re both involved in the sport yes we understand it but I don’t when I see it I’m like I don’t like

Warming up backstage with that log press I didn’t get it I did not understand I was like hey um I I remember I got a funny story about that so my current log press alltime record is 207 yep and I’m doing log with babby in Darren’s gym one

Year I think we were getting ready for Glasgow yeah probably I think I don’t really remember the specifics of the competition or the day but I remember being in there training with him and I went up to like 180 185 and I was doing like doubles or something I’m pressing

Him out I’m feeling pretty good I’m feeling pretty strong and all that and I asked BBY who was sitting down with his brother baby hey you want in on this and he’s like no no I I I’ll go up I was like all right well I’m that

Was my top set for the day I’m good so we throw on weit for him I think we went up to like 195 and he strict pressed it and it was easy and he dropped it and I was like all right what’s the plan this

Time he’s like uh 205 207 I was like oh okay so my alltime one rep max awesome he goes up to the log cleans it pressed it like it was empty brought it back down to his chest pressed it again like it was empty and then dropped it

And I was just like all right that was my uh like maximum effort one rep max log that he essentially threw in the air like a seven-year-old it’s insane man his power is insane he’s a nice guy as well but yeah I I don’t I just I like we

Watch it I’m just like that doesn’t make sense it doesn’t make like it takes a second to compute doesn’t it yeah cuz like was warming up I was like what’s on the log and then um Andy willby R’s Rebel like it’s 180 and I was like oh my

God and he’s just like just snaps and I was like I don’t I was like Mommy I was like I don’t get it I was like I don’t get it m yeah but um he puts the work in and uh yeah that press was phenomenal how did it feel getting

Your first Podium at Giants live at Britain um felt great i’ missed it for the past two years due quite a serious injury um and to get back there and put on a shoulder gu was pretty good huge crowd um and it was nice that people were

Talking to me as one of the favorites to win it which I enjoyed I’m not knock in my performances I have to be a realist as well an optimist I wanted to win but Adam bishop and hickie come into phenomenal shape yeah I might have put

One over on hickie but I was chasing Bish down off he’s two-time champ and he’s he is what he is he’s a phenomenal guy from I think real nice BL loves his fishing fish with a fish that should be a thing um that should be a thing I

Always comment on it I think that that is a t-shirt waiting to happen yeah I’d buy that 100% should be his thing silver back where you at um but yeah that’s back to the serious thing it was it was great and it sort of like um it helps

You s same sort of thing self realization that I’m actually quite good this Sport and I put I put a lot of people to the sword that day some new guys who were coming through and they was talk of them and yeah I didn’t really concern myself in that sense but

I keep keep him in the rear view just to see what’s going on I was hunting Bish down and and yeah it went the way it went and I just sort of yeah missed the podium as in the sense of the top spot but again second was great and OB

Qualification for the worlds which was something that was chased down because that’s what we all want to get at the end of the day but I was very very happy that performance I’m coming next year I’m sorry Bish I’m taking it off you so I’m looking forward to it yeah um it was

  1. Evan. Youโ€™re awesome dude.
    Crazy, but awesome lol and you add a big energy aspect to every show youโ€™re in. Definitely deserve your spot as one of the best

    Canโ€™t wait to see you put on that show at the Arnold this year ๐Ÿ’ช

  2. Gavin pteranodon ainโ€™t a dinosaur, but they found a ankylosaurs footprint down bendrix, Barry, south wales but think itโ€™s in Cardiff museum now but there are still dinosaurs footprints there and in Penarth

    Big fan even tho most likely not read this lol

  3. Worlds Strongest Teacher has a good ring to it! Kind of awesome to hear a strongman say they want to do my profession ๐Ÿ˜Š

  4. You two are great working together like this. Enjoyable watch, both have a cracking sense of humour. More of the same please.

  5. โ€œWhatโ€™s the one that fliesโ€, oh that had me laughing. Evan schooling Gav on Dinosaur knowledge, classic.

  6. I've often thought about if strongest man in history was remade who would they cast? Now I know Evan and Gav would have to be on there!
