Super Strong Man - Bill Pittuck (British strongman)

Bill Pittuck (born 13 July 1963) is a British strongman competitor, notable for having won both major British titles and having been a repeat competitor at the World's Strongest Man, as well as achieving a high standing in the World Muscle Power Classic.

Bill Pittuck rose to prominence in the early 1990s. His first experience of World's Strongest Man was as a coach when at the 1990 World's Strongest Man, alongside Geoff Capes he trained Adrian Smith. He promised at that event that one day he would come back in his own right and between then and 1995 he trained and competed prolifically. British success ensued, and amongst a plethora of podium finishes he managed to win England's Strongest Man in 1991, two British Muscle Power titles, the title of UK's Strongest Man and was also crowned Britain's Strongest Man in 1994. Combined with consistently strong performances against the best in Europe in the European Muscle Power tournament and against the best in the world at the World Muscle Power championships where he finished fourth in 1993 and fifth in 1994 meant that he was eventually invited to the World's Strongest Man in 1995. In that same year he was placed third in the World Muscle Power, underlying his international reputation. In 1996 he again qualified for the World's Strongest Man and placed fourth at the World Muscle Power. He competed little in 1997 and 1998, but returned in 1999 to compete once more at World's Strongest Man, and once again was third in the World Muscle Power championships. In 2001 and 2002 he won England's Strongest Man, coming second to the internationally renowned bodybuilder, Eddy Elwood, in 2003.

Adrian Rollinson (born 1965) is a British strongman competitor, notable for being a repeat competitor at the World's Strongest Man.

Adrian Rollinson was born in 1965 in Dudley. He came to prominence in strongman circles relatively late when he made the finals of Britain's Strongest Man in 1999, though he did not earn a place on the podium. In 2000 he won a Geoff Capes UK Strongest Man heat to qualify for the UK's Strongest Man 2000 show. For a long while, the top five placed athletes from Britain's Strongest Man qualified for the finals of the World's Strongest Man and Rollinson found himself thrown in with the world's best in 2000 at the finals in South Africa. He appeared three more times in the WSM, after strong finishes in Britain's Strongest Man ("BSM"). In 2004 he came second in the BSM but ironically came closer to the title in 2005, at which he finished third. In this 2005 BSM, the title was decided by the three top scoring competitors racing in a Farmer's Walk event. Rollinson had dominated the entire competition prior to that, being the only man to complete the Atlas Stones and having pressed 9 reps on the log press. However, for the top three, prior points were discarded in favour of the Farmer's Walk . Mick Gosling won the event and Rollinson, not known for his speed, came third. This would prove to be his final BSM. In addition to these major competitions, Rollinson also took second spot in the Iceland's Strongest Man tournament as a guest. After his retirement he remains active as a promoter of tournaments, notably the nationally renowned "Mighty Midlander" contest.
