In the article by Matt lynch he talks about the young and aspiring strongman named Kevin Nee. Kevin is from a small town called Hopedale where he grew up and was the star of his basketball team. He has been competing in Strongman since the age of 15 and now at age 24 he is one of the most dominant strength athletes in the US. Kevin was first acknowledged by the media when he appeared on MTV’s true life I want the perfect body 2, where it showed the lengths he went to become a professional strongman, on the episode Kevin came in 2nd place which didn’t allow him to take his pro- card. What a pro card does is it allows you to compete in the biggest competitions in the world and allows you to be paid for your winnings. Kevin is known as the youngest professional strongman to ever make it to the World’s strongest man, him making it in at age 19 was a huge deal for him. Kevin was always a skinny kid, he started lifting weights at age 12 to add muscle to his frame when he played basketball. Kevin was noticed by the guys in the gym and eventually was asked to start competing, years later he became addicted to the sport and threw everything else on the back burner. Kevin Nee went from weighing 245 as a professional strongman to 301; Kevin is now one of the top American athletes next to Derek Poundstone and Brian Shaw etc. Kevin is known as an extremely hard working athlete; having torn both his biceps in the past 3 years shows that he is nothing short of a strongman. Kevin is slowly making an impact in the strongman industry; having companies wanting to sponsor him is no joke. Kevin is now one of the greatest strongman dead lifters in the strongman industries being able to pull over 900lbs makes him an athlete with one of the strongest backs in the world. Kevin Nee continues to impress and his overall dream is to eventually win the World’s Strongest Man title. He still has a lot of work to do, weighing 301 is considered heavy to a lot of people but for a strongman that is considered small by most standards. Kevin is said to be the next Marius Pudzianowski, which was the 5 times Worlds Strongest man champion. Kevin Nee definitely has a bright future ahead of him, the size will come but the heart that he has will always stay the same.
