Strongman Scott McGowan Deadlifts for Strength and Speed in some Intense Sessions

by Jonathan Salmon Published on Oct 5, 2020

Scott McGowan is a deadlifting beast.

When someone says they’re a strongman competitor most people usually focus on the strong part. But in order to become a high level strongman it requires equal parts strength, stamina, and even speed. The amount of events a strongman competes in at a given show can really tax the body. In order to survive an entire strongman show you have to have all qualities accounted for.

Scott McGowan is exemplifying that very fact.

The British strongman has been looking truly impressive in his training. Looking to build his deadlift prowess, Scott McGowan hasn’t just focused on the strength aspect, but speed as well.
