Watch for a report on the 2nd World Armlifting Championships in the next issue of MILO, but meanwhile here’s a video that will whet your appetite: 73 competitors on the beach in Yalta where a holiday feeling mixed with world class performances.

Along with the Rolling Thunder, the CoC Silver Bullet Hold and Apollon’s Axle Double Overhand Deadlift were contested, and the Crushed-To-Dust Challenge was also part of the program, with big performances in all of these grip-strength disciplines.

Among the results are a pending world record and five Crushed-To-Dust certifications, and to give you a taste of the contest, watch this video:
