Strongman athletes are typically some of the largest humans in the world, as they tend to carry a lot of mass in order to achieve massive lifts while also avoiding injuries. However, while they do carry some body fat, the Strongmen also have a very developed musculature. This is best seen in the case of Pa O’Dwyer, who recently turned to Instagram to share an impressive physique update.
Pa O’Dwyer set a goal for himself a couple of months ago, as he wanted to transform his body by the time he turned 40 years old. He was successful in doing so, and he decided to push even further with the aim to “redefine what 40+ looks like”.
At his starting point, Pa O’Dwyer carried a bodyweight of 143.4 kilograms (316.1 pounds). While he clearly was a muscular man at that point, his physique lacked any definition, especially when it came to his midsection. From there, he decided to clean up his diet and add consistent cardio to his regimen.
Ultimately, Pa O’Dwyer managed to lose 39.9 kilograms (88 pounds) of bodyweight. This revealed his muscular physique, shredded abs, and mind-blowing vascularity in his arms and quads. Many famed strongmen and bodybuilders reacted to Pa’s physique, adding to the belief that it is one of the greatest transformations ever seen.

The physique that Pa O’Dwyer shared was taken on the last day of his cut, as per his Instagram caption. He also indicated that he might try his skills in bodybuilding after another bulking and cutting cycle. This would certainly be an interesting endeavor, as Pa is clearly capable of pushing himself to the limit.
Pa O’Dwyer has had a very interesting Strongman career, having competed alongside some of the world’s strongest athletes on many occasions. He also found a lot of success, winning Ireland’s Strongest Man, competing at the World’s Strongest Man, and standing on the podium at multiple elite competitions. Pa was also crowned the 2018 UK’s Strongest Man.
Other Strongman athletes have also achieved great transformations in the past. Terry Hollands is one that impressed everyone a few years ago, as he lost a lot of weight to prepare for a bodybuilding competition. Laurence ‘Big Loz’ Shahlaei also lost 102 pounds (46.3 kilograms) and completely changed his appearance.
