Strongman is a competitive strength sport focused on lifting and moving heavy, unconventional objects such as logs, atlas stones and even cars.
For many, strongman has become a tool for building confidence and resilience, improving both physical and mental wellbeing.
One of those is Liverpool gym member Aaron Maxwell, who has used strongman training to help manage hypermobility whilst also improving confidence and general health.
The sport promotes discipline and consistency and requires long-term commitment from those who take part.
Dedicated Strongman Gym, located in Fazakerley, Liverpool, is using the sport of strongman to offer something beyond traditional strength training.
Unlike most commercial gyms, specialised gyms like Dedicated Strongman’s offer a greater sense of community and belonging.
