The @arnoldsportsau 2019. What a ride! Here are some fangirl pics and off competition shots that made my first Arnold such a rad time! I got to meet two of my favourite pro strongmen, in @mikhail_shivlyakov and @jerrypritchettstrongman as well as chat to @belsakstrongman and @worlds_strongest_gay It was great to watch my statesman, genuine all round nice guy and now pro strongman @eddiejowilliams compete and do well in the big show! Turning up to NSWSM in 2017 and seeing him, scared the shit out of me. Placing equal 2nd on an event with him and outright second behind him on another, was the thing that gave me belief that I could make a dent in the field in this country. Watching him go on to win ASM twice and compete with the pros is inspirational. Cant wait to come for a lift soon brother! We caught up with friends we rarely see outside of competition and made great new ones with a host of Australian strong man and women. Looking forward to lifting again soon @damian_bigrig_jones We were able to get down and support some of our strong friends, particularly in the Under 82 Women, where the gorgeous strong ladies @redalicious_strongwoman @the_velvet_sledgehammer @strong__unicorn and @barbellsbeforeboys were competing in an insanely strong field! And I got to have a fan moment with the amazing @bakharnabieva Most of all, through thick and thin,I got to share it with the one person that helped get me there and has believed in me since I first wanted to make this stage, @bigbirdstrongwoman To all of the amazing people I haven't mentioned, but who had a massive impact on getting me through that weekend,I can't thank you guys enough. You know I appreciate you and couldn't have got to the first event without some of you. #strongman #strong #arnoldstrongman #arnolds #coalcity #ccs #coalcitystrongman (at Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre (MCEC)) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvVvjqbgpla/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=u8e10n9jsrkt
