Luke Sperduti will compete in the semi-final of the UK’s Strongest Man competition in Glasgow on August 8, balancing intense training with a role as a shift manager for delivery operations at Amazon’s Cardiff site. Mr Sperduti said: "I was expecting to join and progressively go through, so that was a bit of a shock." A chance entry into Wales’ Strongest Man final came when a competitor withdrew through injury. He later placed second in Wales, earning a spot in the UK’s Strongest Man competition. Mr Sperduti hopes to one day reach the professional stage at World’s Strongest Man.
