'I was bullied in school for being different. At 16, I hit a crashing point': the awkward kid who became the world's strongest man

man I just got back from the most amazing vacation to hawaii πŸŒ΄πŸ–οΈ and I'm still trying to process all the good vibes I picked up there 😊 anyway back to tom stoltman... did you know that the biggest difference between a strongman competitor like him and, say, an average joe is not just about physical strength but also mental toughness? like, have you ever tried lifting a car? πŸš— it's hard man! but what I think is really inspiring about Tom is how he uses his autism to fuel his training... I mean, who needs human interaction when you've got oxygen chambers and red-light therapy to keep you company πŸ˜‚
 
😊 this story is like a breath of fresh air. it reminds me that everyone has their own struggle, even if they don't show it on social media or in public. tom stoltman's journey is a great example of how being different can actually be a strength. i love how he found confidence through weightlifting and nutrition - who would've thought that something as intense as bodybuilding could help with mental health? πŸ‹οΈβ€β™‚οΈ it's amazing how his autism became an asset instead of a limitation. the fact that he's now proud of his body is so inspiring... πŸ’ͺ
 
man i feel so bad for that kid growing up he was literally getting bullied for being different & having autism but then he found this awesome outlet in weightlifting & it totally changed his life πŸ€―πŸ‹οΈβ€β™‚οΈ now he's living proof that struggles can be the best thing that happens to us & it's so inspiring to see him embracing his uniqueness instead of trying to hide from it πŸ’ͺ
 
🀯 This guy is like a superhero from my perspective lol... I mean, I feel him tho, being bullied and struggling to find your place. But the fact that his autism became an advantage? That's some next level stuff πŸ’₯. He's proof that with the right mindset and support, anyone can turn their struggles into strength πŸ‹οΈβ€β™‚οΈ
 
lol what a crazy transformation πŸ€―πŸ‘€ this guy from being bullied to becoming world's strongest man is like a superhero origin story πŸ’ͺ! I'm glad he found solace in football and then weightlifting it shows that with the right support and mindset, you can overcome anything 😊. His autism thingy isn't even a problem now it's like his superpower πŸ€–. I love how he doesn't take credit for his looks but instead says its mental toughness πŸ’―
 
🀯 Tom Stoltman's story is truly inspiring πŸ™Œ. I mean, who wouldn't want to turn their struggles into superpowers? His journey from being bullied and struggling with self-doubt to becoming one of the world's strongest men is a testament to the power of perseverance πŸ’ͺ. It's amazing how his autism became an advantage in his training routine πŸ€”. And let's be real, who wouldn't want to eat 5 times a day? πŸ΄πŸ˜‚ But seriously, Tom's story is a reminder that everyone has something unique to offer, and with the right mindset and support, we can turn those differences into strengths πŸ’•. πŸ‘
