A new video, released by Reign Total Body Fuel, the zero-sugar performance energy drink, goes behind the scenes at the Premiership club’s Surrey training ground to reveal the strongmen and Harlequins squad putting one another through their paces in a series of high-intensity challenges.
Tom, the current World’s Strongest Man and Luke, Europe’s Strongest Man, weigh a combined 334kg and showcased they’d make a hefty addition to the Quins pack.
The Scotsmen went head-to-head with the likes of England fly half Marcus Smith and rising star and loosehead prop Fin Baxter as they competed in strength and skill tests, including the Reign truck push and kicking.
As part of the training session, the Stoltmans shared their secrets behind what it takes to become the strongest men on the planet and the mentality and sacrifice required to reach the pinnacle of their sport.
Tabai Matson, Harlequins’ head coach, said: “The Stoltman brothers are impressive athletes and inspired the squad with their approach to their training and their love for their sport.
"There’s much we can learn from their commitment, intensity, and graft. Their kicking needs some work, so no contract discussions just yet, but watch this space.”
The challenge video will be broadcast across all digital, social and athlete channels.
