Arnold Amateur World Strongman Championships

ASC returns to Columbus with its third annual Arnold Amateur World Strongman Championships—the action begins on March 2.

With 18 countries represented, this contest has grown rapidly in scope and its alumni record is nothing to sneeze at: the field at last year’s World’s Strongest Man contest included three, as will this year’s Arnold Strongman Classic.
