In this episode, I sat down with professional strongman Evan “T-Rex” Singleton, currently ranked #3 in the world in overall standings.
Evan talks about his path from being a WWE wrestler in his early 20s to becoming one of the top names in the world of Strongman. He shares his approach to training, nutrition, mindset, and how he handles setbacks — including injuries that forced him to withdraw from the 2025 World’s Strongest Man competition.
We covered a lot of ground: lifting heavy things - eating 8,000-9,000 calories a day - protein - peptides - depression - headbutts - pro wrestling trash talkers - injuries - more!
About Evan Singleton: Evan is a professional strongman and former WWE wrestler from the United States. He’s known for his aggressive competition style and consistent podium finishes in Giants Live and other major strength events. In 2024, he finished 3rd at World’s Strongest Man, and despite withdrawing from WSM 2025 due to injury, he remains one of the top-ranked strongmen in the world.
