Kevin Faires

Kevin Faires is an American professional strongman, born on 4 February 1990 and now living in Provo, Utah. He is known for his grip strength and for the Dinnie Stones walk, in which he carried the two stones, weighing a combined 333 kilograms, for 9.63 metres at the 2023 Arnold Strongman Classic Rogue Record Breakers contest, a world record at the time. He also twice held the Nicol Stones walk record. He wrestled and played football in high school and found that strength training made up for a lack of size. His first major result was the 2016 Under 105 kilogram Strongman World Championship in Kokkola, Finland, followed by the 2017 Arnold Amateur Strongman World Championships and a third title at the 2022 Winter Wasteland Classic in Orem, Utah, where he bench pressed 529 pounds.
