HUGO GIRARD
HIS CAREER

The 6 ft. 2 in. man trains 6 times a week and has an iron-like discipline that allowed him to stand out in many international competitions and win several prestigious awards in the world of strength athletes.
Among other feats, he pulled an 80-ton Boeing 737 over a distance of 100 feet in only 43 seconds! Dedicated to sports and health, Hugo is a strong advocate for physical activity and the adoption of a healthy lifestyle. In addition to having created his own supplement and healthy food bar company, he also gives lectures on nutrition, training and striving for excellence.
