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 American Brian Shaw and the Icelander Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson have won it 3 times each. Three of the past champions: American Mark Henry, Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson and Brian Shaw have been inducted into the International Sports Hall of Fame.^[3] ^[4] ^[5]

History

The competition (which has been also referred to as 'Arnold's Strength Summit' and 'Arnold's Strongest Man' in the past) 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 only.^[6] However, the event expanded to include other sports and events, one of which was Strongman, introduced in 2002.

It was specifically designed by Terry Todd at the request of Schwarzenegger^[7] to select the actual strongest strongman based on straightforward tests of brute strength. The inaugural head judge was David P. Webster.

Regular events and world records

The events also include Rogue record breakers which were conducted in parallel to the Arnold Strongman Classic.

Timber carry - Contestants have to lift heavy barn timbers bolted together and travel up an inclined ramp. In 2015 Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson carried a 500 kg (1,102 lb) frame (with straps) up a 35 feet ramp in 10.15 seconds, and in 2020 Mateusz Kieliszkowski 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'.
Atlas Stones - Contestants have to lift heavy round concrete stones over a bar 4 feet in height. In 2017 Brian Shaw hoisted a 254 kg (560 lb) stone over the bar.
Apollon's wheels - A unique barbell made famous by Louis "Apollon" Uni, reproduced by Ivanko Barbell Company, the Axle is a replica of the original with the same bar thickness of 1 " (1.93" or 49.3mm) and mechanically fastened to railway car wheels and fixed. Therefore the bar and the wheels are not moving, making the lift even more difficult.^[24] Contestants must lift the wheels from the floor to overhead as many times as possible within a time frame. In 2006 Žydrūnas Savickas and in 2009 Brian Siders continental clean and repped a 166 kg (366 lb) Axle for 8 reps. In 2009 Mikhail Koklyaev did power cleans and repped it for 7 reps. In 2010, Žydrūnas Savickas 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.
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 repped a 204 kg (450 lb) Austrian Oak 4 times.
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.^[24] Additional calibrated barbell plates may be added. In 2014 Žydrūnas Savickas pulled 524 kg (1,155 lb) from a 15" height.
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 pulled 474.5 kg (1,046 lb) from the standard 9" height.
Bale Tote - Contestants have to carry across their shoulders a heavy bar/yoke in a timed event. In 2017 Brian Shaw carried a 710 kg (1,565 lb) yoke for 4 meters in 14.87 seconds. The event is also known as 'Super Yoke'.
Bag over bar - Contestants have to throw heavy sandbags over a 15-foot bar. In 2017 Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson threw a 45 kg (100 lb) bag over the 15-foot bar.
Weight over bar - Contestants have to throw a 25.5 kg (56 lb) weight derived from the Highland games,^[25] using only 1 arm, for max height over a bar. In 2019 Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson threw the weight over a 20-foot 2-inch bar.
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.^[24] It usually has a big handle of over 3inches 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.^[26] In 2020 Mateusz Kieliszkowski lifted a 145 kg (320 lb) dumbbell.
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 lifted the stone for 5 repetitions.
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 carried the stone for a distance of 218 feet 11 inches.
Conan's Wheel of Pain - Hailing from the Basque circle tradition, 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 pushed the wheel for a distance of 119 feet 9 inches.
Steinborn Squat - A unique barbell with globes and a squat made famous by Henry 'Milo' Steinborn, where contestants have to erect and tip the barbell to their backs unassisted and squat it. In 2019 Martins Licis squatted 256.5 kg (565 lb) with the implement.
Double T Squat - Contestants have to Squat a specially designed cambered duffalo bar to a depth-adjusted platform, for max weight. In 2022 Jean-François Caron Squatted 438 kg (966 lb). The event was named after Terry Todd.
Steinstossen Stone toss - Contestants have to throw an oval shaped natural stone for distance. In 2023 Mateusz Kieliszkowski threw an 84 kg (185 lb) stone for a distance of 11 feet 5 inches.

Arnold Strongman Classic-Europe

Year:	2012
Arnold Strongman Classic-Europe
Location:	varies, 2012 contest held in Madrid, Spain
Establishment:	2012
Format:	Multi-event competition
Purse:	$10,000
Month Played:	October
Current Champion:	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. The format change is due largely in part to the event being broadcast and televised in 85 countries.

2012: Arnold Strongman Classic-Europe

The 2012 contest was held in Madrid, Spain on Oct. 13 & 14, 2012, the event was sponsored by MHP. The contest is included as part of the 2012 Strongman Champions League season, and competitors earned points towards the annual SCL overall title. 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]
