It wouldn’t be an Odd Haugen Strength Classic be without a major grip contest.



Kicking things off on Sunday is the Rolling Thunder, followed by Double Overhand Deadlift on an Apollon’s Axle, the Captains of Crush (CoC) Silver Bullet Hold, and Viking Fishing Pole Wrist Roller.

Russian grip strength star AlexeyTyukalov is a former world record holder on the CoC Silver Bullet and the current world record holder on the Rolling Thunder, so keep you eye on him and don’t forget about Odd Haugen, who’s always in the hunt for a top position on the Rolling Thunder and the Apollon’s Axle, in particular.
