My First Strongman Event...
Спорт
I took on my first ever strongman style event here in Scotland...
The Donald Dinnie games hosted every year in Aberdeenshire is something I've had my eye on ever since I lifted the Dinnie Stones last year. With only 6 weeks of prep, a sprinkling of advice from the Stoltmans and a mountain of caffeine, watch to the end to see if I managed to complete all 5 events.

@ftravis6840 that's too funny 😂
It was a pleasure welcoming you to the event and seeing you compete Fergus. You are exactly the type of athlete that makes the DD Games so special 😎👍❤️
Coincidentally I tried strong man training for the first time over the weekend it's hard to describe just how awkward everything actually is can't imagine how hard natural stones are

It’s basically awkwardness and pain tolerance for time.
That 'DIG IN' in that powerful Scotch accent got me fired up.

Big energy for sure.
Amazing performance Fergus. Pleasure competing alongside you, put the ego aside and really challenged yourself and you crushed it. Thanks for the kind words too, hopefully get the opportunity to compete again but I ain’t doing an Ironman anytime soon 😂 💪
Really appreciate your thoughts on putting aside ego in favor of curiosity. As I've begun to take my fitness seriously, I have had several moments, mainly involving classes or fitness in front of others, where I get in my own head and let it be a hindrance. Being curious has been a way to get around that.

Great to hear, thank you!
It was great to meet you, brother. And thanks for covering Donald Dinnie Day. This year I pulled the Dinnies and was the first person from India to do so. Next year I will be participating in the rest of the events.
Was such a pleasant surprise when you asked me where the registration tent was - didn’t expect to meet you there, amongst so many strength legends. It was a great day. Well done!
Congrats on a great showing.
Well done. Great effort
Congratulations Fergus. While not on that podium, you still acquitted yourself very proudly. Next time you'll get that last stone !!! Again super congratulations Fergus, it looks like an awesome & super great event. 😊👍😊💯😊
Well done Fergus......unreal achievement 💪
Excellent video, ive just signed up for my first stonelifting comp so taking notes!😂
On a list of over 100 channels on KZread I follow at this time, your videos are among the very few I don't just habitually add to the queue but genuinely look forward to ever since getting one of your videos recommended by the algorithm. You're just an amazing individual, inspirational, self-reflective, uplifting even in challenging situations. Fantastic VLOG on your first venture into Strongman, great impressions from the event and events as well as bringing across the mood, the spirit, the aura. Thank you for this.

Wow. Go you! Super impressed, that looked absolutely awesome, what an achievement, what an experience. Drink it in and let it flow through you. I’m genuinely inspired by your accomplishments as I’m sure many other viewers will be, and the next time I need to dig really deep to lift heavy (for me) I’ll have in mind that look on your face to either encourage me or perhaps frighten me!

Well done Fergus!! I was at the Gathering and thought you did really well for your first go at the Games! I was willing that fourth stone on the final stone run to go up - you’ll get it next time!! Was hoping to say how much I enjoy your videos when I saw you at the arena but you looked very determined so didn’t want to disturb you. Really well done again!

Appreciate that thank you! Should’ve said hello, I can switch between lasered/nonchalant quite well 😂
Man it took serious stones to put yourself out there and make this video but I think it rocked and you kilt it.
Loved others/peers "spotting" supporting you

They're all so nice and encouraging 😊 Feel like you got done on a couple of carries by the lack of bagpipe music
You truly show what the human body is capable of. Incredible mate. Firm handshakes and kisses from New Zealand.

So cool Fergus! Congrats from a fellow hybrid athlete! I’ve very much been anticipating this video. I was in Scotland the day before and was fortunate to have the opportunity to become #246 to lift the Dinnie Stones. Unfortunately I had to fly out the day of this event but I now have a big goal for my next trip to Scotland! 💪

Very impressive congrats!, also just a bit curious as to your lack of Scottish accent, you doing like you've got a home counties accent more than anything?
The beard in the background is big Dave the postie
Just curious as to what tartan you wear? Looks like MacLaren. And well done, they were some big pebbles 😅

Maybe at some point, not something I’m particularly interested in tbh 🤷♂️ (not in a critical way, just doesn’t get me amped up personally!)
