Adrian Smith is a former strongman competitor from Great Britain, born on 18 March 1964 and from Corby, who worked as a photocopier engineer when he began in strongman events. He won UK's Strongest Man three times, in 1992, 1997 and 1998, and Britain's Strongest Man once, in 1990. Trained by Geoff Capes, he made his only World's Strongest Man appearance in 1990 and finished fifth. In 1995 he took a break to compete in bodybuilding, placing fourth in Mr Britain and earning an invitation to Mr Universe. He held a world record for log lifting for reps, pressing a 200 pound log above his head 30 times in one minute in 1993. He later toured a live show of feats of strength under the name The Mighty Smith.
