Reknowned strongman competition started in 1977. It involves Several heats who get various points for thier placings in events such as the farmers walk. The weights used in such competitions vary, but 300lb is the lowest generally. Certain stationary endurance events will go over 1000lb.
When first started, the leaderboard was set ablaze by the United States, although this stranglehold (The first three years there were anomalous Europeans getting on the board) was quickly diminished, and Northern Europe has become the dominant power.
The greatest show of force however, is two Icelandians; Magnus Ver Magnusson and Jon Pall Sigmarson, who have each won it four times. There have been a few winners from the UK and central Europe, although Mariusz Pudzianowski (Representing Poland) has blown the competition away since his first entry, along with fellow eastern Europeans
