The 2023 strongman season hasn’t exactly gone according to plan for Tom Stoltman<\/a>. Not only did the former two-time World’s Strongest Man (WSM) champion<\/a> (2021-2022) lose out on a legendary “three-peat” to Mitchell Hooper<\/a>, he came in sixth place during the 2023 Arnold Strongman Classic<\/a> (ASC) and was the runner-up at the 2023 Giants Live Strongman Classic<\/a> (GLSC) by a razor-thin half-point margin. Now officially without a professional strongman win in over a year, Stoltman’s victory drought is the longest of his career since he initially broke through with the 2021 WSM title, per Strongman Archives<\/a><\/em>. <\/p>\n

On July 20, 2023, Stoltman shared a glimpse at how he’s preparing to climb out of his recent competitive rut. The athlete posted an Instagram clip where he completed an 800-kilogram (1,763.7-pound) leg press<\/a><\/strong>. The eye-opening strength feat was all the more impressive, considering Stoltman affixed resistance bands<\/a> to his machine and implemented pauses between reps for additional challenges<\/strong>. The lower body training session<\/a> is part of Stoltman’s wholesale preparation for the 2023 Shaw Classic<\/a> (SC), taking place on August 19-20, 2023, in Loveland, CO.<\/p>\n

A Car Leg Press is one of the 2023 SC’s most eye-catching events, which is presumably what Stoltman’s preparation in the clip is connected to. In the 2022 edition, competitors were tasked with performing maximum reps with a 907-kilogram (2,000-pound) car loaded upon a custom-built leg press and the winning performance was 8 repetitions. <\/p>\n
