Now this is something you don’t see very often. Meet Tony Farrugia, a Maltese athlete that trains like a BEAST. He was recently spotted pulling two (yes, not one, TWO) trucks, and we were shook. We got in touch to see what this sport entails.

“I’ve never trained in a gym but I like to train outside mainly with stones, cars, skips, and the like. I inherited my strength from my grandad, who was also a strongman,” he says. Tony became a strongman performer back in 2015, following in his grandfather’s footsteps.
“I’ve been doing strongman training since I was a kid. I started doing feats of strength shows for charity in 2015 and in 2016 I teamed up with the legendary Maltese strongman, Mr Cool.” Apart from his grandad, other Maltese strongmen were an inspiration to Tony, namely Joe Falzon, Charles Saliba and Tony Zarb, who have helped him to become the strongman he is today.

He says his shows are mainly dedicated to good causes. “I decided to dedicate my shows to charitable organisations such as Puttinu Cares, ALS Malta, etc. I look forward to continuing to dedicate myself to my charity work and to break some world records in the process!”
