The qualifying heats continued at the MET-Rx World’s Strongest Man contest today, with repetition squats using an extra-long IronMind Apollon’s Axle fitted with two massive globes testing muscle and mettle alike in the morning.


Zydrunas Savickas, the defending champion, looked powerful as he squatted for reps at the MET-Rx World’s Strongest Man contest today.  The competitors had to touch the the spotter racks, which were set for what was a legal bottom position, on each rep.  IronMind® | Randall J. Strossen photo.


The Car Walk put the competitors in a Flintstone-style car, with shoulder straps allowing them to support the car as they carried it down a course set in a plaza in front of the NASCAR Hall of Fame.
