Robert Kearney of the United States of America,
here we go for an American Record, there's the clean 214.
Robert Kearney, first place in the north American championships last year, he won
the World Log Championships last year as well, but this is new territory this is to take Robert
Oberst American Record 211 kilos, no he cannot do it, and he was a long way off in my opinion.
Coming to this show last year was an experience !um¡ you know, I'll never forget you know coming
here a second here with more confidence, more excitement, stronger and you know, I think
in a better mental place than I've ever been in my life !um¡ and I also have some custom spandex,
you know ¡uh! prep for this contest has gone really well so I just competed at
the normal Australia a couple of weeks ago and fortunately that contest had a max log as well,
!um¡ so the training con went seamlessly into this show !um¡ you know, last year after not being
after not competing as well as I had hoped !um¡ I actually hired derek poundstone as my coach
and he's just been kicking my ass and you know, the prep has gone great.
the giant Rob Kearney ¡wow!
That sure is a confidence builder right there,
what a tremendous effort you gotta love that guy Rob Kearney
not the biggest Strongman in the World but ¡wow! come on man press overhead,
¡yeah! I mean there's always a chip on my shoulder, you know like, !um¡ you know the lineup
last year at this contest you know, I remember vividly they called out Žydrūnas Savickas,
Thor Bjornson and then me and you know, I look at that picture from the lineup of last year and
you know I literally my mohawk comes up to Thor's shoulder and ¡uh! you know, it's like, it's just a
new level of motivation for me to prove that, you know to a lot of guys in Strongmen you think they
think, you have to be these behemoths of men to be able to compete at this level !um¡ and I think
proving that, you know with me being five foot 10 and only 127 kilos or about 280 pounds !um¡
you can still be one of the Strongest men in the world, How are you so strong at the size
that you are? !!um¡¡ you know it's, I.. I've, I'm stubborn, I guess is the best way to put it,
I think I'm going to be going anywhere anytime soon in the sport !um¡ I love, love this sport
so much and everything that it's given me being able to travel the world and compete
and meet so many people has been, you know a gift I never thought that I would get and !um¡
you know my goal is to continue competing for as long as I can at the highest level.
Battling the 214 got the 2 the 2.5 and Rob Kearney mate may just get this, he's looked
awesome, would be an American Record, he's looked smooth and solid all the way through the man said
he was gonna do it, he came here to do it, his opportunity is right now watch him do it.
