I had thought men were attractive and finally came to my senses one day. I was in a relationship with a girl and realized that I was not really happy. In 2014, I was completely exhausted after putting on a façade for so many years and pretending to fit the heterosexual stereotype I thought I needed to fulfill. Since turning pro, I have taken 2nd place at 105kg America’s Strongest Man in 20. While I was not out to myself, using this newfound love of weightlifting to bring confidence into my everyday life eventually helped me realize my true fabulousness.Īt the age of 21, I won the 2013 NAS National Championship to become a professional strongman. I found confidence in myself and translated that to everyday life. I began finding solitude in the weight room, and that’s where I could finally be who I truly was. I was an offensive lineman on the football team, class president, lead singer in a band, and a cheerleader. Throughout high school, I was an outgoing, friendly and extremely active kid. I began competing in the sport of Strongman when I was 17 years old, a senior in high school. It wasn’t until I publicly came out as gay that I realized how much strength I really had. My name is Rob Kearney, and as a professional Strongman, I’m one of the strongest men in the world.
