Bradie Crandall, also known as Vegan Hercules, secured the silver medal at the Natural USA’s Strongest Man competition. Despite some stellar performances, he narrowly missed out on the title due to a risky decision in the max distance sandbag carry event. Reflecting on his performance, Bradie acknowledged the importance of attention to detail and the mental aspect of strongman competition at a high level.

Although he fell short of his goal of winning the competition, Bradie's second-place finish still qualifies him for the World's Strongest Natural Man competition in Glasgow, Scotland. This achievement demonstrates his immense strength and ability as a vegan powerlifter, showcasing that plant-based athletes can excel in demanding strength sports like strongman competitions.
