The county’s strongest men and women geared up to compete in a special contest at Lakeside Village this summer in a bid to be crowned Man Beasts Yorkshire’s Strongest Man and Woman 2024.
The powerful performers showed off amazing demonstrations of strength by deadlifting, lifting logs and shifting giant sand bags at the one-off special event. Congratulations to Josh Lancaster for being crowned Man Beast Yorkshire’s Strongest Man 2024 and to Michaela Pearson for being crowned Man Beast Yorkshire’s Strongest Woman 204.
