The Stoltman Brothers, Luke and Tom, recently posted a video on their YouTube channel where they shared a full day of eating in their current lives. The video showed the brothers consuming over 10,000 calories combined in only one day. In the video, we gain an insight into the lives of elite strongman athletes and the challenges they face as they strive to maintain their massive builds. The Stoltmans’ current diet is even more specific, since they are preparing for the 2023 Arnold Strongman Classic, scheduled for March 3-4 in Columbus, Ohio.
Both Tom and Luke Stoltman are renowned in the sport of Strongman for their incredible strength and numerous record-breaking performances, which have earned them widespread recognition and admiration. However, their incredible strength and size come at a cost. To secure their titles as World’s Strongest Man and Europe’s Strongest Man, the Stoltman brothers consumed vast amounts of food. As they strive to achieve even more impressive feats, they remain dedicated to every aspect of their training, including their meticulous attention to diet.
