Natural Strongman Scotland 2026!

So proud to have two athletes compete this year: and ❤️

Jenn hit 5th place in Scotland with a super solid performance at a new body weight, complete with overhead PBs (YAS) and still beating me on sandbag runs. Jenn is just amazing - she has constructed an incredible attitude to competing which is just joyful - it’s awesome to be around and will serve her well going forward! Highlights: overhead PB and smashing the 80kg sandball for reps - damn far from that first time we tried to pick it up 😂

Spyros stepped up to his first national comp with amazing attitude and came away with 3 PBs and loads of cuddles from his awesome kid. PB on overhead and incredible grip work on farmers after a setback on deadlifts, he kept great composure and did us all proud.

Absolutely proud of both of them as always and so happy to be part of their gainz.

I have stolen videos from and a photo from .craig.strongman because I don’t have much media - please get in touch if issue, thanks!)

Yesterday we said goodbye to Yoshi. I’ve always said he was a cuddler not a fighter, but after 12 happy years of good health, the last year suddenly saw him fighting a whole heap of illnesses that just kept sn*******ng. He proved me wrong and fought really hard, but he doesn’t have to fight any more and he went to sleep in my arms, cosy, loved, and full of dreammies.

When and I went to visit a bunch of kittens all that time ago, Yoshi immediately chose Sharlotte, hopping up on her knee and watching happily as his brother Asterix rolled around the floor playing with me.

I’m forever grateful they chose us.

Yoshi has been an unwavering source of comfort and joy and cuddles for me and for Sharlotte, through house moves, job changes, kid leaving home, bereavement, mental health difficulties, physical injuries, the loss of Asterix, and all the other stuff life has life-d.

I am glad to say he was adored his whole life. He became a big brother to Daisy and Freddy, and got to meet (and finally nose boop) Sidney. He has hunted and collected many socks, became a brave outdoor kitty, stole butter, cake, whole eggs, pasta, a fat ball from the birds, and loved to eat pancakes. He has watched many horror movies with me and was always up for a nap and a cuddle. He was the chillest, friendliest, best natured cat I have ever met and I know his whole family will miss him terribly, as will all who knew him and got to clap his belly.

He spent his last couple of days close to us - only leaving Sharlotte’s pillow to cuddle into the crook of my arm, or to snooze curled up with Freddy right between us. I am thankful for that, and when this feeling of devastation passes I will look back on all these memories and smile.

and at classic on Sunday!

Both have been training super hard for this comp and brought it on the day. Massive pbs for both, including 12 reps on the 130kg deadlift for Becky and a 20s stone run for Maddy. Ended up being a small (but well formed) comp which can be really tricky when you’re competing against a pal, and also can be really tough to hold focus and keep energy high. I’m so proud of both for giving it everything and supporting each other and generally being so hardworking and awesome.

Thanks everyone for running the comp and for prizes and everything else ❤️

It’s been a couple years since I competed with Scottish Powerlifting, but I have been MISSING it. As great to make a wee return today by dropping into Paisley Barbell’s comp. Had such a good time and saw some great lifting! Really happy with my performance today; went conservative with attempts due to a) currently dealing with a messed up shoulder and b) trying to remember the technical side of all the lifts. Had some left in the tank for all the lifts which is what I wanted in this comp so v happy.

I looked through my camera roll to find a good cross section of what my clients get up to training with me, but it’s impossible to fit all the fun stuff in so I guess I’ll write about it as well!

I (Rebecca) coach people online and in the gym (1:1 PT, small group PT, and lifting club) and have been doing so for almost a decade. I’m situated at Energy Gym in Edinburgh, which is a friendly gym with a clientele as varied as mine. We have loads of cool kit, lots of space, and a cafe/bar upstairs.

I have coached people who compete in high level strongman, powerlifting, and roller derby, as well as people who come to the gym to get a bit fitter and healthier for day to day life. Folk who want to compete, and folk who want to have social connection and be fit enough to run around with their kids. All body types and goals are cool with me. It’s all valid and it’s my job to make sure everyone feels valued and supported.

My clients are part of a community regardless of whether they come to lifting club (very social) or 1:1 PT - we have a book group, and do group days and nights out a couple times a year. I want everyone to feel welcome and at home in the gym, but here’s the thing: none of this is compulsory! If you want to get a programme from me with a weekly check in and not talk to anyone, that’s 💯 fine. If you want to make pals, that’s awesome too. EVERYONE is supported.

I have competed internationally in strongman, as well as holding national records in IPF powerlifting. I’ve got a Strength and Conditioning qualification, pre/post natal and PT certs, and a degree in Sport and Fitness. I’m also q***r, neurodivergent and have loads of experience coaching a huge range of people.

Would you like to be coached by me online or in person? Would you like to have a chat about what you’d like to achieve? Send me a message!

Oh and by the way, you don’t have to get to a certain level of fitness to start - that’s my job ;)

Had a brilliant day in Peterhead on Saturday Scottish Week Games strongman comp.

Events: Sandbag steeple chase, farmers run, bag throws, Conan’s wheel, van/truck pull.

As always I am extremely proud of my clients giving their all and showing excellent sportsmanship 🥹 bonus to come back to Edinburgh with a couple of trophies!!

All the events were really fun to watch and the day was super well run - thank you all who organised and helped out! ❤️

Highlights of the day have to be the Conan’s wheel and van/truck pull for all three - brand new events for all and they all smaaaashed it.

Well done (especially for pulling a truck almost 10 meters), (all round solid performance and massive improvements on speed) and Zoe (beasting her first ever comp and getting a sweet 2nd place overall) ❤️.

Thanks also for support and bringing the goodest boy ❤️

Extremely proud to wish good luck to three of my clients off to play in the Roller Derby World Cup in Austria this week!

Stellar is on Team Latvia, and Tenacious C and Pope are on Team Scotland. I’m so honoured to have played a small part in all of their journeys to this incredible level, and can’t wait to see them in action when I figure out how the live stream works.

A post??! And it’s only taken me 90 minutes to write 😂

Natural Strongman Uk final - lightweight masters 2025!

Cracking day in a great venue - Boxpark Liverpool complete with glitterballs. Haven’t been feeling competing at all for the last year due to personal stuff so overjoyed to be having fun with this sport again! Lovely to hang out with all the masters women as usual, and so much thanks to Becky, Jenn, Max, and Rochelle who came down to support me, and especially my wife Sharlotte for driving down and supporting me with both hugs and also telling me to get my s**t together.

Results!

Deadlift
160kg x9
Deadlift best event as usual - joint 1st on this.

Hussafell sandbag for distance
80kg 85.7m 60s
Pretty pleased with this - PB!

Log
50kgx5
Didn’t fail log! Rep PB! Came middle of pack on this - delighted. Also accidentally forgot to take my phone out of bra so exceptionally uncomfortable.

Stone to shoulder
40/50/60 in 42.98s
Gutted with this - ref retracted down command on third stone so did it twice and then didn’t manage the 70kg. Much upset but pulled self together (thanks wife).

Farmers run
75kg per hand, 30m 18.72s
Pleased with this especially as after crying I lost a contact lens so did this with only one working eye 😂

Hammer hold
12kg 59.32s
Event ended up being a bit different than was prepared for so had to deal with CHANGE (awful) but gave it my all and can’t ask for more than that!

6th overall missing out on worlds by 3.5 points but goal achieved of having a really good time and not putting loads of pressure on myself. Also v pleased with deadlift and not messing up log! Even running around a Liverpool car park in a dryrobe to lose 400g for weigh in wasn’t that bad 😂

Thanks everyone at , everyone to who helped put this event on, and for excellent programming!

Great time today with pals at Alton Towers and loads of rollercoasters too :)

I just realised that lifting club has been going for 5 YEARS this month!

We started as an ‘intro to squat bench and deadlift’ group and have evolved over the last half a decade into to a multi-discipline, multi-program club which at its heart remains true to the vision I had: a fun, safe, relaxed space where everyone can support each other, learn together, and work to their own goals and abilities in an environment where they feel valued and BADASS.

Lifting club is one of my proudest achievements and has only been possible because of every awesome member who has part of our wee club for the past five years ❤️❤️❤️ THANK YOU. 🦥 🦥 🦥
