I’m very excited and proud to inform you that I reclaimed my title of Europe’s Strongest Man earlier tonight! Huge respect to The Beast @eddie_hall_strong who has improved immensely from last year and really pushed me hard this evening. @terryhollands79 also did a great job securing a 3rd place finish. Shame @biglozwsm had to pull out as he’s been ill the last few days. Great event put together by Giant’s Live! I would like to thank my sponsors, friends, family and fans for their support! @roguefitness @sbdapparel @gymgrossisten @getnewage @australianstrengthcoach @stanefferding @stefansolvi @andrireyr
