At 41 years old, Laurence Shahlaei has this physical status:
Shahlaei started strongman training in 2005 and entered his first novice competition that year, where he finished 8th. Within two years, he entered his first Britain's Strongest Man ("BSM"), having won the Midlands qualifier. In that competition, he made a huge impact, making it to the final, only to tear his biceps in the tyre flip, which forced him to withdraw. He won the Midlands qualifier again in 2008, and once again made the final, this time finishing 4th behind Jimmy Marku, Terry Hollands, and Mark Felix. This placing landed him an invite to the World's Strongest Man in 2008. He did not make the final.
In 2009, four years after beginning strongman, he became the UKSC Midlands Strongest Man and also won the UKSC England's Strongest Man, citing this, alongside his WSM 2008 squat win, as the greatest moment of his career (the WSM qualifier titled "England's Strongest Man", which replaced the Britain's Strongest Man contest in 2009, was won by Terry Hollands and Shahlaei did not compete in that). His favourite strongman events are the Squat for reps, Farmer's walk and Super Yoke because those are a good test of natural strength coupled with his world class grip strength (having closed the Captains of Crush No. 3 gripper). His least favourite strongman event is the Atlas stones.
In his career spanning across 15 years, Shahlaei has competed in 55 international competitions and have won 8 of them including his best win, the 2016 Europe's Strongest Man. Laurence also competed in the inaugural World's Ultimate Strongman competition in Dubai at the Bab al-Shams Arena in October 2018. He won the 5th place from a stacked field of 12. His final competition was 2021 Giants Live Strongman Classic.
Since retiring from the sport of strongman, Laurence has become a popular analyst and commentator alongside his wife Elizabeth, affectionately nicknamed "Aunty Liz" by fans.
