Luke Stoltman - Full Interview with the Mulligan Brothers

The Stoltman Brothers - Motivational video: bit.ly/3kHKlTn

[@crredsox13]

I absolutely cannot describe the amount of respect I have for Luke. Not only as a strongman as a person. There are so few people in the world that appreciate how hard things can be, but Luke takes it in stride. He makes it abundantly clear that he cares. Not only to succeed for himself, but wants others to succeed and wants them to keep pushing, no matter how hard things get. I take a lot of motivation and inspiration from the way Luke carries himself and others through life and genuinely hope I get to meet him someday.

[@rangeroverl322]

Seconded. They are both top chaps

[@larsraum]

Couldn't said it better myself

[@NOTIFACTION]

He is a cool guy and the banter between him and Tom is funny

[@bennyking572]

Yeah 100%. What an amazing role model for not only in sport but in life. As a fellow Scotsman this is amazing to see

[@bloodbushcraft2467]

I'd love to meet Brian or Eddie. But I'd rather meet Luke.

[@Smitlors]

You can see how proud of his family he is he wells up whenever he talks about them 😂 big fan of these 2 lads hope they both go on to win a WSM title

[@adambritain5774]

Jim Smith I came across them in an interview at a strongman event (May have been the Dubai one) where Tom did really well and Luke was almost in tears for him. I was sold instantly!

[@Smitlors]

@@adambritain5774 Yeah it's great to see I met them at a Giants live event last year great guys hope they get that WSM trophy

[@ropes64]

Met Luke while I was working on the Clair Ridge Hook-up.....fantastic down to earth bloke..a real gentleman. Very best of luck Luke, both to you and to Tom. All the best!

[@MulliganBrothersInterviews]

Legend!

[@bustinyanutz4195]

Luke Stoltman the ultimate embassador of Strongman, go get that title of World's Strongest Man 2020

[@m55uds]

This Man is a LEGEND !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so much respect for him.... win or lose your already a WINNER mate....

[@Neeptorious]

This is why I feel so much with the Stoltman. My mom passed from terminal brain cancer at around the same time it sounds and I found myself in a pit of depression for the first three years after she passed. Then I saw a video of Tom and Luke at worlds strongest man and thought, “I should try that”. Here I am a year and a half later about to go to my third competition. Hopefully one day I’ll get to make the trip to Scotland and be able to thank them for the inspiration.

[@andrewchisholm3665]

Sitting here in tears listening to Luke. I lost my soulmate to an undiagnosed brain tumour in 2017 and I miss her so much and just wanting to hear her voice and see her interact with the 4 owls she had. Just now I am a carer for both my parents as my mum has Parkinsons and dad has Alzhiemers, both diagnosed over the past two years, we are seeing them both slowly slip away. Thanks again for this and thank you so much Luke for being so open

[@adventuresofascotsman9090]

Love the way Luke is so passionate about the Highlands, it may be hard to understand for others, but if your a Highlander you just get it! 💪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@Thorson8888]

Much respect for the strongest brothers in the world from Slovenia..God bless you

[@TheDeanieweenie]

i will never not tear up listening to Luke talk about his mom and Tom the world needs more Lukes

[@florence1395]

Absolutely, he’s a good man…….very passionate & family oriented. Great ways to have 🙏

[@adambritain5774]

Yes Luke. Love this man. They both deserve all the success they get. Still got the last cakes his mum made for him ❤️

[@justcallfrank0089]

You have the strongest shoulders not baby 🤴

[@ibbylancaster8981]

Much love to the Stoltman brothers from the USA. My family has Scottish blood flowing through our veins so I definitely pull for them. I lost my mom 2 years ago and I can definitely relate to the pain of losing such a strong person in your life. Much love brothers ( Mulligans too) and absolutely wonderful interview. Can’t wait to see Toms as well.

What an absolute inspiration! Luke is the brother everyone wants!

[@HellenicWolf]

I like the accent of Luke. I hope someday he has children, probably with his genetics and his character values, they will keep advancing the sport. Thanks also to the Mulligan brothers for this interview. Great work guys, keep bringing those people to public awareness. Cheers from sunny Athens, Greece!

[@feralcat07]

You are the voice and strength of Scotland. And your doing us proud, Yourself Luke, and your brother Tom. Keep us proud and chalk us up on that map, our wee country Scotland. I agree with you on leaving your husband or wife behind for a wee while. David and I have been married 31 years and have hardly been a part. It kills us. My mum died of dementia, again your right, it disturbs you, watching her slowly disappear and die is one of the hardest things going. Mum died five years before she did. And boy I miss her and my sister so much...

[@shaneduddy]

Could listen to Luke all day, what an absolute gentleman..proper legend

[@hughferrier5837]

Luke, don't do yourself down about school. The Luke I taught was a smart guy. This shows in your eloquence, your honesty, your analysis and your openness. I also like your masculine approach to life. That is so needed now. Every success in your pursuit of strength. God bless, Hugh

[@hippo6billion811]

You were his teacher?

[@hughferrier5837]

@@hippo6billion811 I sure was and also of Tom. I'm so proud of them. I tell everyone 'I taught Luke and Tom Stoltman, the world's strongest brothers'.

[@hughferrier5837]

@@hippo6billion811 Luke was physically solid and I knew he was into body building later on in school. He was very good at Chemistry. The story I remember is with his friend Lewis Kerr. Lewis was a character and would eat earwigs and worms to impress the younger boys. Young boys are easily impressed. Well Lewis decided to drink the juices from a defrosting chicken in either Luke or Lewis's fridge. I believe Luke had a go as well. I was terrified they'd get salmonella poisoning. The boys in that class were really amusing. The sort that make teaching a delight. I could actually cry with laughing at the things they got up to. They were all near me on the front bench. Tom was an extremely courteous but very quiet boy. He was very tall and very thin. He actually never answered in class due to his autism. He had a classroom helper to cope with being in class. I am stunned to see how well he interviewes. Also his humour and just what an amazing guy he has become. I am proud to have crossed paths for a while. Luke gives amazingly wise advice. He is a natural teacher! This is longer than I meant. You can see my pride

[@mark5of914]

Luke is the classiest of humans. He's my favorite strongman. Not because he's the best but because of who he is all the time. Much love!

[@jor-el723]

Your folks gave you a biblical name for a reason! You will come to learn that your a blessing to the world in time. God bless the Stoltmans!

[@patryan6072]

I've tried 3 times to write something and couldn't. The pain of losing someone you love never passes. But you do learn to live with it. The gym is a place for me that helps ease the pain. Stress. Hurt of everything. Keep training. Talk if you need to but never doubt that loved ones are with us still and always will be. God bless and thanks for the inspiration you give us all.

[@roryspicer]

Thank you for sharing this Pat.

[@davidkerrychubb1]

I lost my dad to cancer so I can feel your pain, cried in front of all of my friends at the time if I can’t cry in front of friends there not my friends best wishes dave Chubb

[@liamuk2373]

I couldn't imagine losing my dad, my mum died when I was 2 but he's the strongest man I've ever met, both physically and mentally. I hope your OK quine

[@happydays9956]

Absolutely love Luke. Such an inspiring gentle giant. True family man and totally down to earth. Just addicted watching the stoltman bros. I wish them every success in all of this journey

[@owenskelly7039]

Tom, Harry and Luke are the most humble down to earth guys ever for what they do.

[@markj3815]

Lifting use to be my high, my peacemaker, my relief. My dystonia (and past brain tumor)has now won. I have little control of my right side and my entire left side has lost after 23 years of over use. I had to leave everyone I ever knew because the cold makes it so I tare tissue....doing nothing. I'm now in Florida just trying to survive alone. I made it through tonight thanks to this....maybe I can make one more comeback. Thank you Stoltmans

[@paulwilliams8725]

That brought a tear to my eye 😪 big respect to Luke and Tom , There the future of Strong man .

Been following the brothers for a while now and these guys make me so bloody proud to be Scottish, absolute legends. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@joecapesius2887]

Thanks for doing the interview Luke. It’s nice to see brothers sticking together.

[@bigbob40]

A class act! The world needs more people like Luke!!

[@rabscheffler8938]

Two quotes from Luke that stood out for me in this interview. “I’m Luke Stoltman, professional strongman, one of the strongest men in the world” “I want to look at him, and he knows I can crush his skull” Luke and Tom will be legendary in Scotland in a few years. I hope they get that Stoltman 1-2 this year at WSM

[@roytromb_strength]

Just started watching the interview and I’m already crying. Luke is amazing, his relationship with Tom is inspiring. I’m so happy for Tom’s and Luke’s success.

[@AngelaRawson]

Very humble person.lukes mum would be very pleased looking down on her boys.the interview for me was very heart warming.now 2024 Luke has his own wee baby to pass on everything he as learned from grandpa dad and mum .xxa

[@Noname30000]

Stoltman brothers are just so humble,Luke especially. Cheers EVERY strongman on,always in his little bros corner,you sir are a true definition of humble and what more people should be like,us Americans included. Mad respect

[@siyandimitrov408]

what a heart-warming interview. What a great guy Luke is!

[@tavaressalmon]

I love Luke's resiliency. He carries a great burden as the eldest sibling that's supposed to be strong. What we contribute to this world starts with our clan. Life is short and pain and joy is real.

[@ScottGlisson74]

Watching Luke somehow makes me feel like I have to try much harder to be stronger and a better human.

[@matiasjende1993]

Yea! I Hope Luke wins first, Tom got loads of time. Luke alrdy earned it

[@upurkilt7246]

Just one other brother and 2 sister

[@proboz]

I agree. I want Brian to get his 5th and retire, but if it's not him, I'd love for Luke or JF to win. Tom has years ahead of him and great potential rivalries with Mateusz and Martins.

[@ShyBoy6ty9]

@@proboz I don't want Brian to retire, but I'll certainly be more excited to see some younger guys take the title. I think people typically think more of Tom because he made a bigger splash at WSM and WUS. He was an instant favorite, but Luke's coming in hot this year. I've seen more love for him lately.

[@rossm685]

I dont believe Luke can win WSM tbh !! But still a winner, inspiration ,gentleman and true legend for being the man he is today ❤👌❤

[@philippecourtemanche7190]

One of the greatest interviews I've ever watched All celebrities and fields included

[@RageDirtyIrby]

Just recently found this interview because I’m a huge fan of the Stoltman Brothers. Tom is gonna be a Worlds strongest man very soon and i believe that 100%. But to find this interview and learning about Tom and what he has overcome makes me more of a fan. Thank you guys for this interview and I’m subbed.

[@YankMil1]

Thanks Luke Stoltman for the interview and it was a "pep talk" to me. The discussion of being okay in these days and in some places its okay or accepted to make up excuses for not doing things. Accepting that when things do not meet your expectations in a Strongman event for yourself you have the mindset that it is on you and excuses are not valid. Holding yourself accoutable is getting to be a rare thing now and it is so good to hear. We both enjoy your You Tube page and thank you and Tom. I lift still at 59 sidelined with a left knee tear but back at lifting and it keeps me looking and feeling good. The oil rig work was like being gone as a US militray member retired but still working now in the electrical utlity industry. Thanks for the motivation! Go Luke and Tom cannot wait to see one of you win in the November 2020 in Florida. Luke its your time since your older. :)

Enjoyed this very much. Thanks for putting this together and posting. The recurring message Luke is putting out there needs to be heard by many... stop making excuses, stop blaming this or that... ultimately you're responsible for what you do and the effort you put out. No one can take that from you unless you let them. Thanks again and keep 'em coming!

[@PontusGeidnert]

A fantastic and open hearted intervju. Hope all the best for you Luke and am so impressed about your strenght to talk about you´r loss. Its easy not to talk about difficult things, it´s hard to talk about the reel stuff. It gives us others help to try to talk about our dark side and pain.

The stoltman Brothers are right up there with my favorite strongman Brian shaw. Luke and Tom are just class act guys the brotherly love is just so fucking good to see in WSM. Such a down to earth guy who worked damn hard to be where he is. And I'm so fucking jealous of his voice.

[@HellenicWolf]

One thing to fix Mulligans is to get yourselves microphones. Both the interviewer and the interviewee have to have microphones. And maybe don't rush to fill in the silence. I do podcasts as well, and I notice that silence can be majestic. Nobody is in a rush. If you don't think of something particular to say, let it be. It's best to speak when feeling really confident about what you have to say, whether a question or an answer. All these things I learned from a 4-week workshop back in the day and it helped me greatly to be a better speaker (when I perform this logic).

[@joshuaowen6185]

Great interview and always a massive fan of Luke (and Tom). I hope you guys get a chance to interview Rongo Keene one day. His story so far is one that more people need to hear.
