Two men deadlifting the largest dumbbells in the world. They weigh 350kg. One man is lifting it and is very red. The other man is bent over with his butt to the camera. The referees are sat opposite the men, with camera crews next to them. In the foreground is the crowd

A line of very big men holding their country's flag.

Last night I went to see Europe's Strongest Man competition.
It's so much fun and I just don't get how these people do these things. I can barely lift a tea spoon 😂

Lovely to see Nathan Goltry on #WorldsStrongestMan qualifying heats. He had a nasty injury when we went to #GiantsLive in Brum back in September.

From an advert with Eddie Hall in his budgie smugglers to the budgie breeder himself. Lovely tribute to Geoff Capes in #WorldsStrongestMan there.
