Strongman set to break Irish record!
Ultimate Strongman Jonathan Kelly from Newtownabbey holds the title of 2 x Ireland’s Strongest Man and is the current record holder for the ‘Irish Deadlift Hold Record’ which saw him lift a 1 tonne car, engine side, for 41.07 seconds.
Jonathan will be hoping to hold on to this record as he challenges two other strongmen to take the title ahead of the Belfast Ultimate Strongman Giant Weekend.
Both Sean O’Hagan, Ulster’s Strongest man and Clarke Beck, Ireland’s Strongest man 2014 will attempt to beat this at the Belfast Motor Show which takes place this weekend at the King’s Hall. Visitors on Saturday will be able to watch the competition between these two men at 1pm.

The car to be used in the deadlift is due to take part in the Motorscape Banger Rally in September which will see a team of drivers travel 2300 miles across Europe in the name of Callum McErlain, a talented young motorcross driver and lover of all things related to motor sports who tragically lost his battle last year at just 16 years old to Ewing Sarcoma, a rare form of bone and soft tissue cancer. His Mum and her team of fellow drivers and friends will take on this challenge in order to raise funds and awareness for CLIC Sargent (NI) and Friends of the Cancer Centre.
Kerrie Mann, organiser of the Belfast Motor Show is excited about this challenge due to take place at the show;
