In this episode of the Rokman Podcast, I sit down with strongman champion Jamie Nelson to break down how he built real strength. Not bodybuilding strength. Not influencer strength. Actual pick-up-ridiculous-weights strength.
Jamie is 6'6", weighs around 170kg, and has a 330kg deadlift, a 285kg squat, and has just been crowned Wales’ Strongest Man.
We talk about:
• The training principles that actually make you stronger
• Why most people train completely wrong in the gym
• The key lifts that build real strength (and the ones that don’t matter)
• How strongmen structure their training weeks
• Why consistency beats everything else
• The biggest mistakes people make when deadlifting and squatting
• What it takes mentally to become one of the strongest men in the country
And yes… we also discuss eating 10,000 calories, lifting 160kg logs overhead, and carrying 200kg Atlas stones.
