About this episode

The Stoltman Brothers have laid claim to the title of the World’s Strongest Brothers, and not without good reason. At a combined weight of 350kg, Luke and Tom Stoltman have amassed a plethora of titles, with Luke winning Europe’s Strongest man in 2021 and Tom twice being crowned World’s Strongest Man in 2021 and 2022.


In this episode they discuss their respective training, nutrition, sleep and recovery routines, detailing how they are able to build and maintain such herculean physiques. Interestingly, the brothers take different approaches, with Luke leaning into cold water swimming and mindfulness, and Tom taking more traditional approaches. After each being monitored for three days, the results contain some unexpected surprises.


"The Energy Equation" is an enlightening series that delves deep into the intricate relationship between energy, fatigue, wellbeing and our daily actions. Brought to you by the team behind the award-winning High Performance podcast, we unlock the secrets of movement, sleep, nutrition, and stress management, exploring how these crucial factors shape our overall energy levels.
