Bio
My name is Isaac Smith and I am from Raleigh, NC. I graduated from NC State with a BS in Sports Management and a minor in Sports Science. I first got into competing through powerlifting when I realized I had a pretty decent deadlift. Four meets later and after training at Spider Strength Gym, I let Scott Compton talk me into competing in strongman and I made my debut in 2017 at NC Strongest.
After winning novice <200, I then went on to qualify for SMC nationals a couple months later and would compete in Vegas against some of the nation's best amateur middle weight men. Shortly after, I also had the opportunity to compete in the u90kg division at WSM in December of 2017 and the Arnold Amateur Strongman Championship of March of 2018.
My main goal is to eventually gain enough weight to fill out the MW class and continue to compete against, and learn from world class athletes at high level shows. Strongman has allowed me to travel to places that I otherwise probable never would have, and meet some of the best people ever!
