Summary
An Original Audiobook Production from W. F. Howes, read by the Stoltman Brothers with exclusive audio content
When Loch Morlich freezes over, we cut a hole in the ice and jump in…
Tom “The Albatross” and Luke “The Highland Oak” Stoltman are the world's strongest brothers. Between them, they've won everything there is to win in the mighty world of Strongman. Tom can deadlift a 430kg bar to hip height, equivalent to about seven washing machines. Luke isn't far behind. Yet for the Stoltmans, being strong is about more than pure muscle. It's about overcoming adversity. And it's about honouring their biggest fan: their mother, who died in 2016 leaving the family devastated.
But they've also transcended the sport, not least through launching the hugely successful online Stoltman Strength Academy. Through it all, they've stayed true to their roots in the Highlands of Scotland, giving back to their community, their family, and each other.
But it wasn't always like this. Back in 2010, Luke worked full time on oil rigs in the North Sea, and Tom was a teenager that the rest of the world had written off due to his autism.
How did two lads from Invergordon conquer the world? Simple. They started lifting.
In their astonishing autobiography, Tom and Luke Stoltman are going to show you how to lift. How to lift the lid on life with autism. How to lift yourself out of the darkness of bereavement. How to lift the trophy at the World's Strongest Man.
LIFTING is the story of two athletes pushing themselves, and each other, to the limits.
Packed with bonus audio content, you can hear Luke and Tom in conversation as they discuss training plans, life goals, favourite music tracks for the gym and most importantly—spicy food.

Two of life’s good guys
Two of life’s good guys. Both Tom and Luke come across down to earth, in spite of them being two of the strongest men on the planet.

Excellent
Such a well narrated audiobook, I find it can be hit and miss when authors who aren’t used to narrating read their own book but Luke and Tom have done a fantastic job! The content is also great and I really enjoyed the guest chapters and extras at the end
