You can feel it come up, but there’s no pain.” The biceps has been repaired, but Thompson has said that it is different in feel and it feels different and “it’s just not quite as smooth.” Though he’s stated that the repair will ever be exactly the same, he added “When I get to a competition, I won’t be holding back because of my arm. I’ve already won Britain’s Strongest Man – you don’t want to go down – you’ve got to try and win Britain’s Strongest Man again or it’s pointless. So I’ve got to win it really. That’ll be how I judge where I go from there – if I win it or not. Second place isn’t something I’ll be chuffed with.” Thompson worked hard with his trainer Scott Reid, the 2007 Britain’s most powerful Man in the 105 pound weight class. Thompson was able to qualify to compete in the British finals for the British’s Strongest Man in 2008 and took home his heat in the process. But the injury was too close for him to be able to challenge to win the crown in a competition that was widely believed to be one of the most formidable ever.
