Who are you and when did you start training?
My name is Dylan Lockard, I'm a professional strongman and strength training / functional fitness enthusiast. I started training back in 2007 when I was 14 years old. I was a massively overweight kid and I wanted to turn my life around and build something I could be proud of.
What are you currently working towards?
I have a few things on my plate. I'm about to start studying for my PT certificates as well as prepping for Australia's Strongest Man 2026 as a means to make it to the official strongman games where I can get my invite to the World's Strongest Man competition. It's always been my dream to both compete at and win World's Strongest Man one day!
What's one exercise you actively avoid?
Hip Thrusts... plenty of hip hinge exercises out there that are more effective and less awkward haha
What advice would you give to someone starting out in the gym?
Figure out what your goals are and be consistent above all else. Consistency is the key - Consistency in your diet, consistency with your rest and recovery protocols and consistency showing up and putting in the work even when you don't feel like it.
