Scotland's World's Strongest Man contender shares insane glow-up from 'wee guy' to heavyweight

One of Scotland's three contenders for World's Strongest Man 2022 has reposted an insane transformation video onto his social media, and it racked in the views and comments.

Tom Stoltman, brother of fellow heavyweight Luke Stoltman, reposted the video from the World's Strongest Man TikTok page, to the song Yellow by Coldplay, showing off his unbelievable transformation from a young teenager to one of Scotland's strongest dudes.

He captioned the post: "@theworldsstrongestman coming at us all with all the emotions", as photos showed his smaller physique as a teenager, going all the way to his World's Strongest Man win in 2021.
