Our very own Dr Jim Ropner has decided to get out from behind his desk, and has entered himself into Bristol’s Strongest Man 2026. Whilst he insists he is firmly in the beginners category, he has been training for a few years and says he is ready to test himself against the best that Bristol has to offer!
The competition events include deadlift, sandbag medley, axel bar overhead press, sandbag to shoulder, and Dinnie Stone walk. This is his first attempt at many of these challenges.
Given Dr Ropner’s clinical work supporting patients with dementia, he is keen to support the great work of Alzheimer’s Society.
