stalman standing at 6' 8 in tall and weighing 48 or 185 kilos the Scottish sensation came into his first world in 2017 weighing a spelter 155 kilos but the extra weight clearly suits Tom as he is now

another Scottish giant this time in the form of 419b 6'7 in Andy Black who competed the world's strongest man in 2022 the two-time winner of Scotland's strongest man was unable to make it out of the
