At only 22 years of age Jono Macfarlane has already amassed an
impressive powerlifting and strongman resume.
The 145kg powerhouse has seven titles in shot put, hammer throwing
and Olympic weightlifting. He was crowned New Zealand's strongest
man in 2007 and runner up in 2008, and dreams of becoming the
