  Peak achievement often leads to motivational burnout

  “I'm not someone who's like, oh, I've won that, so I need to win it again. It was like, I've done it. Like, I've done the thing. I've completed it. So then it was really difficult to get that fire back.”

  Chloe Brennan lifted 332kg at 64kg bodyweight

  “One eight eight and one four four. At the time, it's, like, five times body weight or something like that. I was so embarrassed of it at the time, though. You know? Like, not embarrassed, but I was really shy about it.”

  Dinnie Stones require immense grip pain tolerance

  “It's one of the hardest things I've ever done. But I can honestly say that, like the grip, the pain in your hands. It's so painful. People don't appreciate that you have to put your fingers through those hoops, and when you've got big hands as well, those hoops hurt.”

  Strongwoman viewership is growing in lighter classes

  “The women's seventy six kilo class was the most watched class. Yeah. In the culture of strongman, yes, that we wanna see the big heavy freaks, but there's clearly an audience out there.”

  Intrinsic happiness fuels long term athletic consistency

  “I could come on here and give Billy big bollocks and be like, I wanna do this, but I'm a better friend when I'm happy, and lifting heavy makes me happy.”
