Although Kearney is one of the world premieres strong manstarted in the sport through cross fit training at age 17 in 2009. That’s when he learned how to properly perform various barbell movements, including his 506-pound deadlift on his trainer’s CrossFit box.
Kearney entered his first strongman competition that same year with no strongman-specific training to finish in last place. However, he ignited his passion for strongman and weightlifting. Since 2012, Kearney has mainly dedicated himself exclusively to the strong man. Be has competed in the wsm competition in 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2022, it is a previous American log lift record holderand won the 2019 Arnold Strongman Australia.
Kearney consumes 5,000 calories a day and uses a sauna to help with recovery. He believes that having a purpose and having fun in the gym is the ideal way to avoid burnout: knowing that the goal when entering the gym will pay off with consistency over time and a healthier mindset.
Ninety percent of the time, focus on your goals; work your butt.
Small incremental goals over a decade took Kearney from losing his first eight strongman shows to becoming one of the best strongmen on the planet. Kearney designed HWPO Strong to give participants a better overall strength base from high volume, which is built to lift heavy objects every day after 12 weeks.
