Maximilian Eckhardt, born in 1999 in Varberg, Sweden, has spent several years working in healthcare and currently works in the cardiology department in Varberg. His interest in people and helping others has always been a significant part of his life.
The social aspect is precisely one reason he's passionate about Strongman. Through the sport, he has had the opportunity to meet many amazing people and become part of a community that shares the same passion.

Maximilian has always had a strong drive for physical performance. He began wrestling at just five years old, a sport he continued with for over a decade. After retiring from wrestling at age 18, he briefly paused competitive sports, but it wasn't long before he discovered a new passion.
In the autumn of 2019, he stepped into the gym for the first time, and the weights on the bar quickly increased. A year later, he discovered Kraftkamp and their amateur-level Strongman competitions. As a longtime follower of Strongman, it was natural for him to test his limits in the competition arena. The results came swiftly. The lifts came naturally, and success in Kraftkamp's competitions quickly moved him up the ranks.
In 2024, he entered Sweden's Strongest Man qualification series, impressing greatly in his debut year and securing a reserve spot for the finals, missing the final qualification by just one point.
Achievements:
2023 – Winner of the Elite Class final in Kraftkamp.
2024 – 4th place in Skåne's Strongest Man.
2024 – First reserve for the final in Sweden's Strongest Man in his debut year.
"When I started competing in Strongman, I quickly realized I needed a lot of equipment, and NTGear immediately caught my attention as they sponsored the competitions I participated in. Choosing them was an easy decision because they have a clear philosophy and vision to offer high-quality equipment at a good price.
I've used NTGear products extensively over the past 3–4 years, and I felt incredibly honored when I was offered the chance to become part of the NTGear family. I truly appreciate how they listen if you have opinions or questions about the products, and their service with quick feedback is fantastic.
My favorite products are their knee sleeves, which I use in nearly every event-training session, as well as their neoprene belt. I also frequently use their elbow sleeves for all types of pressing exercises and their liquid chalk for a secure grip during training."
