A man who once tried to take his own life has said exercise and training for Strongman competitions have given him the strength to keep going.

Jamie Fry, 22, attempted suicide in 2020, but was inspired to improve himself after discovering strength athletics.

He now goes to the gym five times-a-week and is able lift weights up to 180 kilograms.

Jamie is now training for his first competition, which will take in place in November this year.
