USSF President Ty Phillips told IronMind® that his newly-founded amateur strongman federation will have its website up and running in the next two weeks, and in the meantime, he has some shows already planned.

Phillips said that USSF contests will include the following:

Beltane Celtic Highland Games (Hartville, Ohio), May 13
Brigadoon Celtic Games (Burton, Ohio), July 15
Earthquake on the Lake (Cleveland, Ohio), August 19
Cleveland's Strongest Man (Cleveland, Ohio), TBD
Ohio's Strongest Man, TBD

"The response as a whole has been very positive," Phillips told IronMind®. "I have received a lot of support from many athletes." Phillips also said, "Of course people can cross affiliate between USSF and any other sanctioning body they like."
