When did you first get into the sport & what inspired you to do so?
Think it was 2008/2009. I had always watched WSM over the festive period as a kid & loved it, didn’t realise it was an option as a lightweight vertically challenged human! A friend told me there was a comp on, so i entered and had a crack. I randomly entered shows for a few years and then decided to actually train for it. I love the wide array of events, the challenges both physically and mentally to see what I am capable of.
Next show & division

Favourite product(s) in the range and what it means to be a Cerberus athlete
That’s a tough one as I use them all. Currently the triple-ply sleeves as they’re super supportive. To run cerberus Australia is a privilege and I am grateful for all the support I have received. I obviously compete and use all the products, I like the fact they are made by Strongmen for Strongmen. We also provide feedback on products in general and in testing so that they are built to last and tailored made for the sports requirements.
Personal philosophy on life & training?
Have fun & do your best. Things don’t always go to plan, so better to enjoy the process and have fun! Do your best isn’t a cop out for failure, however if you have can say without hesitation you have given your best, it will be hard not to be proud of your result, regardless of the outcome.
Pearls of wisdom for aspiring lifters?
Consistency is king! The little things done consistently lead to the big things. Recording your training, so you can see what works & what does’nt. We are all different and have different responses to training, learn by doing rather than by perceived training guru’s.
Don't Take Our Word For it! Here's What Top Athletes Say:
Cerberus Strength equipment is made to the highest quality standards. Whether I’m competing in Strongman, Olympic weightlifting or CrossFit, the warmth and support the gear gives me while lifting is a huge confidence boost and something I rely on when the weights get heavy.
Ngarimu Ahipene - Worlds Strongest Man u90 and Crossfit Games Athlete
Appreciation is a huge motivator for me in many aspects of life. Having years of hard work and dedication recognised, supported, and acknowledged by a brand of such high quality and regard as Cerberus has provided me with a sense of appreciation for what I put into sport. Being a part of Team Cerberus has provided me with a quality of training equipment I’d never experienced before, as well as a sense of kinship among like minded athletes.
Camilla Fogagnolo - Arnold Lightweight World champion
Being part of a sport is great, but being on a team where you encourage each other is just so much more important. Team Cerberus for life!
Coco - Australia's Strongest Man
I always say "when shopping for something important, buy it right, buy it once". I'd rather choose quality and pay more upfront for something that will last, than buy cheap two save a few bucks now and end up paying double buying it again when it breaks. I've been a part of Team Cerberus since Sept 2015, coming up on five years later and I'm still getting great quality sessions with the first pair of wrist wraps and lifting straps they sent me to test before I was signed on with the team. And I've been putting these products through the ringer ever since. There are lots of cheap duplicates online nowadays, but very few with this kind of quality and durability.
Pat "The Cannon" Castelli
The greatest gift one can receive from another is support, being on team Cerberus I get this with the great kit and amazing encouragement from the crew!!
Adam Haines-Monaghan
Being a disabled strongman definitely has its challenges but anything accomplishable with great support I've found nothing that comes close with both support and confidence from been part of team CERBERUS AUSTRALIA The kit is second to none without it I absolutely wouldn't be able to do half of what I've done and the support of the other team members is what gets me across the line So if you want the best of both worlds I'd go no further than CERBERUS

There’s a lot of big named brands out there but very few you’ll know names of the ones behind the gear. Cerberus is one of those brands, providing up to date equipment on an evolving strongman sport, as well as the rest. I’m a firm believer in walking the walk and the team behind Cerberus do that. They know their products because they train at a high level themselves, they understand what their athletes need because it’s their needs as well. This is what creates a community that thrives on and off the strongman arena. You won’t find anyone within the team not giving it 100% and that’s why I’ve never thought about shopping anywhere else.
