Bad Company runs charity strongman comps across the UK — atlas stones, log press, yoke walks, axle deadlifts. Every prize fund goes to the cause. Real iron. Real community. No bullshit.
When a Bad Company event is live, this whole section flips into the comp hub — running timer, current athlete, live leaderboard. Bookmark the page and come back on event day.
See upcoming eventsReal strongman events, not gym filler. Same kit you'd see at a Britain's Strongest qualifier — just run with mates, beer, and a bucket on the door.
Open to novice and experienced lifters. Spectators welcome — bring a fold-out chair, a fiver for the bucket, and a strong stomach.
Bad Company doesn't take a penny from prize money. Entry fees cover the kit hire and the hot food at the end of the day — everything else gets handed over in a cheque on the podium. The athletes lift, the crowd watches, the charity gets paid.
A different cause picked for every comp. Past Bad Company pulls have raised for Sands (in memory of Ruby), St Pier's School, Momentum Children's Charity and local hardship funds. The next push — The Big Pull, 25 July at Horley Town FC — is raising for the NICU at East Surrey Hospital, Ten Little Toes Baby Bank, and Can't Afford To Be Ill, with sponsorship from Britaniacrest Recycling, AStar Tattoos, Hair by Laura-Jane, Kizz Fitness, GRS Roadstone and Horley Town FC.

Peter started Bad Company in his back garden with a stone trainer, an old keg and a charity tin. A few comps in, the calendar started filling itself — gyms wanting hosts, athletes wanting platforms, charities wanting cheques. Two years on, the comps are bigger, but the rule hasn't changed: all prize money goes to the cause.
When he's not loading stones into the back of the van at 6am, he's coaching novice lifters through their first log clean — which is where the strongman classes (coming soon, see below) came from.
Want to learn the events properly — atlas stones, log press, yoke walk, axle deadlift — under coaching that's actually competed? We're opening structured strongman classes shortly. No big chest-beating. Just the basics, drilled until they stick.
Big Pulls for Sands, St Pier's, Momentum and more — every prize fund handed over on the day. Photos and write-ups live on the Facebook page.
