Weightlifting couple who have both been crowned Britain’s strongest consume 90,000 calories a week
MEET the country’s ultimate power couple - England’s strongest man and woman who fell in love after meeting at the gym while lifting 500lbs weights.
Joe Brown, 31, has just been crowned England’s Strongest Man while Rosie Abercrombie, 31, has twice won England’s strongest woman.
The pair met in the gym back in 2022 and quickly bonded over their love of pulling trucks, carrying yokes and lifting 90kg ‘daddy dumbbells’.
Joe and Rosie now live together in Newcastle-under-Lyme with nine-year-old daughter Ronnie, where they spend a ‘fortune’ on food shopping and supplements while jointly running a gym.
The couple consume 90,000 calories a week and fork out more than 2,000 a month munching through 3kg of chicken, 2kg of mince and between 20-30 eggs as part of their diet.
The super-fit pair can both lift 500lbs (35 stone) weights - the equivalent of a baby hippo or grizzly bear.
Joe got into strongman competitions several years ago after trying to gain strength while competing in judo.
