Now, you wouldn't want to tell Juan Figueroa he's ugly, unless you're locked in a panic room and its via intercom, because he pulls lorries around with his teeth.

Come to think of it, make sure the steel-plated door is chew proof, first before you utter a word.

Yes, Juan Figueroa was proclaimed the champion of the España de Strongman in his category, which was held towards the end of last month in the town of Vilches in Jaén.

He entered the up-to-105k-weigh-in category and won it but the over-all winner was Antonio Bueno from Granada.

The championship competition comprised of nine tests, consisting of picking up and carrying very heavy objects, such as a car or van – he even had to drag a JCB along in one of them… you know, the sort of thing you do on the way to the bathroom in the morning.

Juan Figueroa, who owns and runs a gym in Salobreña, has been training for the Strongman competitions since 2019 – the  first time he participated in the national championships, coming in second.
