2023 Britain’s Strongest Man Results — Adam Bishop Takes The Crown

The 2023 edition of the Britain’s Strongest Man (BSM) contest saw veteran Adam Bishop capture his second career BSM title. Bishop’s first BSM win occurred in 2020 when he overcame the now two-time reigning World’s Strongest Man (WSM), Tom Stoltman, and Stoltman’s brother Luke. According to Strongman Archives, that was also Bishop’s last professional strongman win, with his 2023 Giants Live-organized victory ending an approximate three-year drought. Joining Bishop on the podium at the 2023 iteration of the BSM were Gavin Bilton (second place) and 2019 BSM champion Graham Hicks (third).

Here’s an overview of the final standings from the 2023 BSM competition, which took place in Sheffield, England, on Jan. 28, 2023:

The single-day BSM contest featured five events for the respective competitors to work through: the Deadlift Ladder, Car Walk, Viking Press for Reps, Loading Race, and Power Stairs. In an all-around dominant performance, Bishop won four of the five events save for the Viking Press for Reps, where he finished in seventh place.

Given the context of Bishop finally getting off the schneid to stand on top of a podium again, he was understandably quite satisfied with his performance in the aftermath. Bishop had finished in third place during the 2022 BSM, and that disappointing shortcoming seemed to inspire him to return stronger than ever.

In reaction, the experienced strongman shared a thorough, appreciative reflection on his second BSM title and his first win in over three years.

“Back at the top once again, two times as the Britain’s Strongest Man,” Bishop started. “Amazing night with [Giants Live]. It’s always my favourite show of the year with the ever-awesome Sheffield crowd. After the disappointment of last year, it felt great to put in a strong performance and get that trophy back in my hands. A big thank you to all of the crowd, [the Giants Live] crew, and my fellow competitors for putting on such a spectacle of strength.

It was a pleasure sharing the podium with my friends, Gavin Bilton and Graham Hicks. The 2023 season has got off to the perfect start. Let’s keep this thing rolling.”

The 2023 competitive year arguably couldn’t have gotten off to a better start for Bishop. The athlete will now likely turn his attention to notching a place in the 2023 WSM on Apr. 19-23, 2023, in Myrtle Beach, SC. His best career result during that contest was a sixth-place finish in 2020. Chances are, Bishop could parlay being a two-time BSM champion into a benchmark performance at strongman’s biggest competition.

Mitchell Hooper Squats 525 Pounds for 24 Reps, Surpasses Tom Platz’s Previous “Record”

Mitchell Hooper is likely best known for his recent run of strongman dominance, culminating with his first-ever World’s Strongest Man (WSM) victory during the 2023 iteration in April. However, the Canadian athlete prides himself as an all-around strength dynamo, working on his conditioning and dispensing some of his first-hand training knowledge seemingly whenever he can. The superstar’s latest feat in the gym is a lesser-known but legendary milestone to capture. On May 23, 2023, Hooper shared an Instagram clip of himself squatting 238.1 kilograms (525 pounds) for 24 reps . The strength mark was an AMRAP (As Many Reps As Possible) performance and officially surpasses the legendary 1980 Mr. Universe Tom Platz — who set the initial standard with this achievement with 23 reps of 525 pounds in 1992 during the “Great American Squat-Off.” Hooper notches a good depth into “the hole” on each of his repetitions and donned a lifting belt and knee sleeves during the squat set. ...

How to Do the Inverted Row — Benefits, Variations, and More

Bodyweight exercises are often shunned by “hardcore” gym-goers who only deem worthy exercises when you lift heaps of hard-cast iron. Yet they forget that bodyweight movements can be very beneficial, and even humbling.

When it comes to training your back, pull-ups aren’t your only option. The inverted row — sometimes jokingly called the Australian pull-up because your body is “down under” the bar — targets your back, shoulders, and biceps.
