The Arnold Strongman Classic is an annual competition featuring strength athletes from all over the world, determining who is the Strongest Man in the World. Created by Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jim Lorimer and Terry Todd, it is an offshoot of the Arnold Sports Festival which takes place annually in Columbus, Ohio, USA.

Widely regarded as the heaviest and the most difficult strongman competition in the world [1] [2] the Arnold Strongman Classic has been won only by 9 men in history. Among them, the Lithuanian Žydrūnas Savickas has won it 8 times, while the Icelander Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson and American Brian Shaw have won it 3 times each. Two of the past champions, Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson and the American Mark Henry, have been inducted into the International Sports Hall of Fame. [3] [4]

History

The Arnold Strongman (which has been variously referred to as the "Arnold Classic", the "Arnold Classic Strongman", "Arnold's Summit" and "Arnold's Strongest Man") is one of the many offshoots of the Arnold festival. The Arnold Sports Festival, founded in 1989 as the Arnold Classic and named after Arnold Schwarzenegger, was originally a bodybuilding contest. [5] It featured a competition for men (Arnold Classic) and women ( Ms. International). The bodybuilding contests have since expanded to include a Fitness International and Figure International competition for women. However, the event had also expanded to include other sports and events, one of which was strongman, introduced in late 2002. This Strongman event was created by a powerlifter named Dr. Terry Todd at the request of Arnold Schwarzenegger. [6] The expansion of the programme led to the Classic becoming the Arnold Fitness Weekend and now the Arnold Sports Festival. According to the Arnold Sports Festival co-producer, Jim Lorimer: "The Arnold Strongman Classic has been growing in popularity every year, and we are very excited that many strong men are returning." [7] January 29, 2008.

Championship history

In the inaugural 2002 competition, the American professional wrestler and former weight lifter Mark Henry emerged victorious over Norway's Svend Karlsen. [8] In addition to competing in what were the four official events — the Apollon's Wheel, the deadlift, the Hummer push and the 800+lbs Farmer's Walk — the competitors were given the opportunity to attempt to lift the Thomas Inch "unliftable" dumbbell or Inch Bell. A prize of $1000 was awarded to the man who could pull it the highest in the air. Five men chose to try the Bell [9] with Mark Henry winning the $1000 by pulling it to the level of his chest. Pfister raised the Inch Bell over his head with his right hand, to a standing ovation, but his lift was disqualified because he briefly stabilized the dumbbell with his left hand when it was on his knee and because he used a "continental clean" when raising the dumbbell to his chest. [10] Pfister was however also awarded $1000.

From 2003 to 2008, the Arnold Strongman was won every year by Žydrūnas Savickas of Lithuania (see Full results below). In 2008, he received a $40,000 check from Gerard Dente of MHP, an Audemars Piguet watch by Robert Ronan and the Louis Cyr trophy (after the legendary strongman, Louis Cyr) and congratulations from Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. In the competition, 12 world records were set with Savickas setting three of them. In the Tire Deadlift, he lifted 1,027 lbs. In the Circus Dumbbell, he tied with Derek Poundstone for the world record with nine lifts each, and in the Manhood Stones, he lifted 525 lbs, three times. [7] Second places were shared primarily between Svend Karlsen and Vasyl Virastyuk while Raimonds Bergmanis, Glenn Ross, Andrus Murumets and Mikhail Koklyaev shared the third places.

American Derek Poundstone won in 2009 and 2010. Poundstone took the vacant throne from Savickas when he took 2009 off from the competition. When Savickas returned in 2010, Poundstone retained his title by defeating Zydrunas. [11] [12] Just days before the 2011 contest, 2-time defending champion Derek Poundstone was forced to withdraw from the contest due to injury. Fellow American Brian Shaw came in and won the contest, and Mike Jenkins, the winner of the 2012 Arnold Strongman amateur event who was competing in his first-ever professional strongman competition, shocked many and finished in second place ahead of 6 time-champion Savickas who came in third. [13]

Mike Jenkins went on to win the title in 2012 ahead of Poundstone by 1 point and Savickas dropping to third. [14] Lithuania's Vytautas Lalas won the competition in 2013 ahead of Brian Shaw by 0.5 point and Russia's Mikhail Koklyaev emerged third. [15] From 2014 to 2017 the competition was won by either Savickas or Shaw with two wins each after very close battles, bringing their winning tallies to 8 and 3 respectively. Podium places in these years were secured by Mike Burke, Mateusz Kieliszkowski, Vytautas Lalas and Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson. [16] [17] [18] [19]

From 2018 onward, Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson secured three consecutive victories, earning the title in 2018, 2019, and 2020. [20] [21] [22] Björnsson set new World Records in the Bag over bar, 500 kg Timber carry, Húsafell Stone carry, and twice broke the Elephant Bar Deadlift World Record with 472 kg (1,041 lb) in 2018 and 474.5 kg (1,046 lb) in 2019. Poland's Mateusz Kieliszkowski established world records in Odd Haugen's 'Tombstone' Stone-to-Shoulder event and Cyr Dumbbell while American Martins Licis set a world record in the Wheel of Pain event.

In 2021, the competition was not held due to COVID-19 pandemic.

In 2022, the 3-time defending champion Björnsson had previously retired from Strongman. Martins Licis won the competition ahead of Ukraine's Oleksii Novikov who emerged in 2nd. [23]

In 2023, Mitchell Hooper, still in his rookie year competing in strongman, won the competition, ahead of Kieliszkowski in 2nd place and American Bobby Thompson in 3rd. [24]

Regular events and world records

  1. Timber Carry - Contestants have to lift heavy barn timbers bolted together and travel up an inclined ramp. In 2015 Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson Iceland carried a 500 kg (1,102 lb) frame (with straps) up a 35 feet ramp in 10.15 seconds, and in 2020 Mateusz Kieliszkowski Poland carried a 400 kg (882 lb) frame (without straps) up a 35 feet ramp in 7.01 seconds. The event is also known as 'Frame Carry'.
  2. Atlas Stones - Contestants have to lift heavy round concrete stones over a bar 4 feet in height. In 2017 Brian Shaw United States hoisted a 254 kg (560 lb) stone over the bar.
  3. Apollon's Wheels - A unique barbell made famous by the traditional strongman Louis "Apollon" Uni, reproduced by Ivanko Barbell Company, the Axle is a replica of the original with the same bar thickness (4 inches) and mechanically fastened to train wheels and fixed. Therefore the bar and the wheels are not moving, making the lift even more difficult. [25] Contestants must lift the wheels from the floor to overhead as many times as possible within a time frame. In 2002 Mark Henry United States repped a 166 kg (366 lb) Axle 3 times, a record which was subsequently beaten by Žydrūnas Savickas Lithuania, who pressed the 166 kg (366 lb) Axle for 4 reps in 2003, 5 in 2004, 6 in 2005 and finally, in 2006, set an unbeaten record of 8 reps, only to be matched by Brian Siders United States in 2009. In 2010, Žydrūnas Savickas Lithuania pressed a 208 kg (459 lb) Axle for 2 strict reps and a year later, performed 5 reps with a 188 kg (415 lb) Axle.
  4. Austrian Oak - A unique log named after Arnold Schwarzenegger's nickname which weighs anywhere from 195–204 kg (430-450 lb) where the athletes have to press for the maximum number of reps. A lighter Slater log which weighs 175 kg (386 lb) was also used for athletes who couldn't lift the Austrian Oak. In 2015 and 2016 Žydrūnas Savickas Lithuania repped a 204 kg (450 lb) Austrian Oak 4 times.
  5. Hummer Tire Deadlift - Contestants are required to lift a specially designed long bar weighted with tires from 15" height. The Tire Deadlift bar was designed and manufactured by Ivanko Barbell Company and comprises a 13-foot long stainless steel bar and up to eight Hummer tires & rims. [25] Additional calibrated barbell plates may be added. In 2014 Žydrūnas Savickas Lithuania pulled 524 kg (1,155 lb) from a 15" height.
  6. Elephant Bar Deadlift - Contestants are required to lift a specially designed extra whipping long bar with Arnold Schwarzenegger inscribed weight plates from a standard 9" height. It has to be done raw and figure 8 straps are not allowed. The apparatus was designed and manufactured by Rogue Fitness. In 2019 Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson Iceland pulled 474.5 kg (1,046 lb) from the standard 9" height.
  7. Bale Tote - Contestants have to carry across their shoulders a heavy bar/yoke in a timed event. In 2017 Brian Shaw United States carried a 710 kg (1,565 lb) yoke for 4 meters in 14.87 seconds. The event is also known as 'Super Yoke'.
  8. Bag over Bar - Contestants have to throw heavy sandbags over a 15-foot bar. In 2017 Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson Iceland threw a 45 kg (100 lb) bag over the 15-foot bar.
  9. Weight over bar - Contestants have to throw a 25.5 kg (56 lb) weight derived from the Highland games, [26] using only 1 arm, for max height over a bar. In 2019 Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson Iceland threw the weight over a 20-foot 2-inch bar.
  10. Cyr Dumbbell - Lifting the classic heavy "Circus" dumbbell, used by professional Strongmen from the early 20th century but especially the variation of Louis Cyr. Richard Sorin reproduced the dumbbell for this event. [25] It usually has a big handle of over 3 inches (76 mm) in diameter and sits lower than a normal circus dumbbell once it's shouldered before the final press, increasing its range of motion. The basic rule was to use one hand at a time and lift the dumbbell overhead either for max weight or for many reps as possible within a given time. [7] In 2020 Mateusz Kieliszkowski Poland lifted a 145 kg (320 lb) dumbbell.
  11. Odd Haugen's Tombstone - Contestants have to lift a natural stone that weighs 186 kg (410 lb) to their shoulder for many reps as possible. In 2019 Mateusz Kieliszkowski Poland lifted the stone for 5 repetitions.
  12. Húsafell Stone - Contestants have to carry the legendary Húsafell Stone which weighs 186 kg (410 lb) around a structure that replicated the historical sheep and goat pen. In 2019 Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson Iceland carried the stone for a distance of 218 feet 11 inches.
  13. Conan's Wheel of Pain - The event replicated the legendary grain mill from Conan the Barbarian (1982) where the contestants have to push a contraption which weighs 20,000 lbs around in a circle for time or distance and measured in either degrees or distance. [27] The colossal contraption was replicated and built by Rogue Fitness. In 2019 Martins Licis United States pushed the wheel for a distance of 119 feet 9 inches.
  14. Double T Squat - Contestants have to Squat a specially designed bowed bar to a depth-adjusted platform, for max weight. In 2022 Jean-Francois Caron Canada Squatted 438 kg (966 lb).
  15. Steinstossen Stone Toss - Contestants have to throw an oval shaped natural stone for distance. In 2023 Mateusz Kieliszkowski Poland threw an 84 kg (185 lb) stone for a distance of 11 feet 5 inches.

Poland Mateusz Kieliszkowski

In 2012, the inaugural "Arnold Strongman Classic-Europe" contest was formed and is a joint promotion between Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jim Lorimer (Arnold Sports Festival co-promoter), Dr. Rafael Santonja (president of the International Federation of Body Building, "IFBB") as well as American Strongman Corporation and Strongman Champions League. [52]

The "Arnold Strongman Classic-Europe" contest will differ significantly from the format of the original Arnold Strongman Classic event, with less of an emphasis on brute strength and heavy events, and will include a wider variety of events and some speed/loading events similar to Strongman Champions League and World's Strongest Man contests. [52] The format change is due largely in part to the event being broadcast and televised in 85 countries. [52]

2012: Arnold Strongman Classic-Europe

The 2012 contest was held in Madrid, Spain on Oct. 13 & 14, 2012, the event was sponsored by MHP. [52] The contest is included as part of the 2012 Strongman Champions League season, and competitors earned points towards the annual SCL overall title. [52] The inaugural contest was won by 6-time Arnold Strongman champion and reigning World's Strongest Man Zydrunas Savickas of Lithuania, who was also the 2012 SCL overall champion. [53]
