The Strongman Team
Iron Asylum Strongman team was founded in 2015. It began as a small group of friends who were serious about their training and wanted a dedicated place to get together, and it has grown to a large family with everything you could ever need to advance in the sport. Attention is given to each person who comes to train, whether you're a regular, or traveling a long distance to meet up with the crew occasionally as many people do. Iron Asylum features athletes at all levels, from seasoned pro's with many contest wins, to brand new athletes who are just getting started. One thing remains the same however; everyone is there to work hard, push themselves and each other, and have a good time doing it! They typically get together on Saturdays for group training.

Founder Lee Woody started competing in Strongman in 2013 after a 10 year hiatus from structured lifting. A seasoned veteran himself, Lee competed in 27 amateur contest before earning his Pro status in 2016, where he finished second out of the top 20 athletes in the nation.

Ben Stone has competed in structured weight training since 2012, and has competed in strongman since 2016. During that time, he's competed in well over 25 shows at both the amateur and national level, earning podium level finishes in both. He has also competed in multiple powerlifting meets over the past 5 years. He's always seeking to expand his own knowledge of strength sports, and to expand the community of the sport of strongman, showing that it can be a sport for anyone who will to give it a fair shot.
