The Ultra-Triathlete Who Lifted The 332kg Dinnie Stones - Justin True Has Range

from Great British Adventures · host Tom Bryan

There are many athletes that are great at doing one thing, but few master multiple disciplines, especially ones as wild as MMA, ultra-endurance triathlons and weight lifting. Justin True really does it all. And Justin's most recent adventure, lifting the famous 'Dinnie Stones' in Scotland (which have a combined weight of 332kg) is a feat very few people have ever managed. Far more have scaled Everest than have lifted these stones unsupported. But while Justin may look like a hardened man of steel, behind his athletic physique is a complex story of childhood trauma and depression which has led Justin to want to focus his life on helping others. Justin's story is one you will want to hear. Growing up in a troubled household in the US, Justin found an escape in the gym and was soon thrown into the world of Mixed Martial Arts - with multiple wins to his name. But fighting in the octagon was nothing compared to the fights he battled with his brother at home, and this childhood, along with the trauma he face when he found out his mum had been stabbed, led Justin to spiral into depression and attempt to end his own life. When these attempts failed, Justin emerged wanting to turn his life around, and help others, In this conversation Justin breaks down his experience attempting to lift the Dinnie Stones. We delve into Justin's violent childhood and how he was able to navigate through the trauma after discovering his mum had being stabbed. Justin breaks down his 'toolbelt' for dealing with depression, he tells his hilarious story of climbing the UK's 3 peaks in 24 hours, alongside what it really felt like after pulling a car for a whole marathon, how he was abducted in Egypt, and how he resolved his relationship with his brother after taking on America's longest continuous triathlon Follow Justin: https://www.instagram.com/therealjustintrue/ https://www.justintrueofficial.com/ Mentioned in the Podcast The Dinnie Stones: https://www.thedinniestones.com/ Peak District Dinnies: https://www.instagram.com/peakdistrictdinniestones/ Mark Haydock: https://www.instagram.com/haydockmark/ Get in contact: IG: https://www.instagram.com/tombryanyeah/ FB: https://www.facebook.com/greatbritishadventurespodcast Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@greatbritishadventures
