The Arnold Strongman Classic is an annual competition featuring strength athletes from all over the world, determining who is the Strongest Man in the World. Created by Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jim Lorimer and Terry Todd, it is an offshoot of the Arnold Sports Festival which takes place annually in Columbus, Ohio, USA.

Widely regarded as the heaviest and the most difficult strongman competition in the world^[1][2] the Arnold Strongman Classic has been won only by 9 men in history. Among them, the Lithuanian Žydrūnas Savickas has won it 8 times, while the American Brian Shaw and the Icelander Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson have won it 3 times each. Three of the past champions: American Mark Henry, Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson and Brian Shaw have been inducted into the International Sports Hall of Fame.^[3][4][5]

The competition (which has been also referred to as 'Arnold's Strength Summit' and 'Arnold's Strongest Man' in the past) is one of the many offshoots of the Arnold festival. The Arnold Sports Festival, founded in 1989 as the Arnold Classic and named after Arnold Schwarzenegger, was originally a bodybuilding contest only.^[6] However, the event expanded to include other sports and events, one of which was Strongman, introduced in 2002.

It was specifically designed by Terry Todd at the request of Schwarzenegger^[7] to select the actual strongest strongman based on straightforward tests of brute strength. The inaugural head judge was David P. Webster.

Inaugural competition, which was called 'Arnold Strongman Challenge' was won by Mark Henry of USA over Svend Karlsen of Norway and Phil Pfister of USA.^[8] Henry won the Apollon's wheels, Andy Bolton won the deadlift, Raimonds Bergmanis won the Hummer push while Pfister won the timber carry. Competitors were also given the opportunity to attempt the Thomas Inch dumbbell outside of the competition and Henry took the win by lifting it up to chest height.

2003 was the beginning of Lithuania's Žydrūnas Savickas's dominant reign of the competition. Karlsen emerged second, while Bergmanis secured third. Savickas won Apollon's wheels and timber carry while Karlsen won medicine ball toss. The Hummer tire deadlift was introduced and was won by Brad Gillingham. The competition was called 'Arnold's Strength Summit'.

Savickas won his second title over Karlsen and Bergmanis. The competition was called 'Arnold's Strongest Man' and 5 events were tested. It was also the first year a 10 man lineup was selected over the initial 8 man lineup from the previous two years. Savickas secured the wins in Apollon's wheels, medicine ball toss and timber carry. Karlsen won the hammer lift while Mark Philippi won the Hummer tire deadlift.

For the second year, the competition was called 'Arnold's Strongest Man' and Savickas secured his third title over Vasyl Virastyuk of Ukraine and Glenn Ross of Northern Ireland. 6 events were tested for the first time where Savickas won the Apollon's wheels and shared the medicine ball toss world record with Magnus Samuelsson. Ross won the Hummer tire deadlift, and shared the dumbbell press win with Brian Siders and Hugo Girard. Van Hatfield won the hammer lift while Philippi won the timber carry.

In 2006, the competition took its default name 'Arnold Strongman Classic' and it was won by Savickas for the fourth time over Virastyuk and Mikhail Koklyaev of Russia. Savickas raised the Apollon's wheels world record to 8 reps, won the super yoke, and shared the dumbbell win with Koklyaev and Pfister. Siders won the Hummer tire deadlift while Benedikt Magnússon won the timber carry.

Savickas won his fifth title over Virastyuk and Andrus Murumets of Estonia. He equaled his Apollon's wheels world record from last year and also won the Hummer tire deadlift and super yoke. The Manhood Stone was introduced for the first time and it was won by Steve MacDonald. Virastyuk won the dumbbell press and Murumets broke the timber carry world record.

Savickas won his sixth consecutive title while winning Manhood Stone^[9] and sharing the dumbbell press win with American Derek Poundstone who won the overall second place. Siders won Apollon's wheels and super yoke while Murumets won the timber carry. Magnússon and Oleksandr Pekanov both broke and briefly shared the Hummer tire deadlift world record before Magnússon was given an extra attempt outside the competition to take the world record outright. Koklyaev's consistency awarded him the third place.

In 2009, Savickas took a break and Derek Poundstone became the third man to win the title.^[10] He also broke the dumbbell press world record. Koklyaev won the Hummer tire deadlift and took the overall second place. Travis Ortmayer of USA won Manhood stone and took overall third. Ervin Katona won the timber carry, Vidas Blekaitis won the super yoke and Siders equaled Savickas' Apollon's wheels world record.

Poundstone, having broken another dumbbell press world record and won the timber carry to win his second consecutive title over returned Savickas and Ortmayer.^[11] Savickas won the Hummer tire deadlift and established a new world record in the Axle. Brian Shaw of USA won the Manhood Stone after a close battle with Poundstone and Ortmayer. The number of events was reduced to 5.

Just days before the 2011 contest, Poundstone was forced to withdraw due to injury and Brian Shaw became the fourth man to win the title.^[12] He broke the Manhood stones world record, shared the Hummer tire deadlift win with Savickas and won the timber carry. Mike Jenkins of USA won dumbbell press and secured second place. Savickas broke another Axle world record and secured third.

Mike Jenkins held off Poundstone to become the fifth man to win the title.^[13] He broke dumbbell press world record and won both timber carry and the newly introduced Austrian Oak. Poundstone's consistency won him second place and Savickas secured third place after winning the Hummer tire deadlift and Axle (cleans only).

The number of events were reduced to 4, and Lithuania's Vytautas Lalas became the sixth man to win the title.^[14] He also won the dumbbell press. Krzysztof Radzikowski won the Austrian Oak. Overall runner up Shaw broke another Manhood stones world record and shared the Hummer tire deadlift world record with Mark Felix. Another consistent performance earned Koklyaev the overall third.

The 5 event format was brought back and Savickas won his seventh title.^[15] He won the Austrian Oak and established world records in the Hummer tire deadlift and the newly introduced bale tote. Shaw came second with a consistent performance across the board and Mike Burke emerged third. Jerry Pritchett won the timber carry and there was a four-way tie for the win of the newly introduced Cyr dumbbell press between Savickas, Shaw, Burke and Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson.

The events also include Rogue record breakers which were conducted in parallel to the Arnold Strongman Classic.

1. Timber carry - Contestants have to lift heavy barn timbers bolted together and travel up an inclined ramp. In 2015 Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson carried a 500 kg (1,102 lb) frame (with straps) up a 35 feet ramp in 10.15 seconds, and in 2020 Mateusz Kieliszkowski carried a 400 kg (882 lb) frame (without straps) up a 35 feet ramp in 7.01 seconds. The event is also known as 'Frame Carry'.
2. Atlas Stones - Contestants have to lift heavy round concrete stones over a bar 4 feet in height. In 2017 Brian Shaw hoisted a 254 kg (560 lb) stone over the bar.
3. Apollon's wheels - A unique barbell made famous by Louis "Apollon" Uni, reproduced by Ivanko Barbell Company, the Axle is a replica of the original with the same bar thickness of 1 11⁄12" (1.93" or 49.3mm) and mechanically fastened to railway car wheels and fixed. Therefore the bar and the wheels are not moving, making the lift even more difficult.^[25] Contestants must lift the wheels from the floor to overhead as many times as possible within a time frame. In 2006 Žydrūnas Savickas and in 2009 Brian Siders continental clean^[a] and repped a 166 kg (366 lb) Axle for 8 reps. In 2009 Mikhail Koklyaev did power cleans^[a] and repped it for 7 reps. In 2010, Žydrūnas Savickas pressed a 208 kg (459 lb) Axle for 2 strict reps and a year later, performed 5 reps with a 188 kg (415 lb) Axle.
4. Austrian Oak - A unique log named after Arnold Schwarzenegger's nickname which weighs anywhere from 195–204 kg (430-450 lb) where the athletes have to press for the maximum number of reps. A lighter Slater log which weighs 175 kg (386 lb) was also used for athletes who couldn't lift the Austrian Oak. In 2015 and 2016 Žydrūnas Savickas repped a 204 kg (450 lb) Austrian Oak 4 times.
5. Hummer tire Deadlift - Contestants are required to lift a specially designed long bar weighted with tires from 15" height. The Tire Deadlift bar was designed and manufactured by Ivanko Barbell Company and comprises a 13-foot long stainless steel bar and up to eight Hummer tires & rims.^[25] Additional calibrated barbell plates may be added. In 2014 Žydrūnas Savickas pulled 524 kg (1,155 lb) from a 15" height.
6. Elephant bar Deadlift - Contestants are required to lift a specially designed extra whipping long bar with Arnold Schwarzenegger inscribed weight plates from a standard 9" height. It has to be done raw and figure 8 straps are not allowed. The apparatus was designed and manufactured by Rogue Fitness.

7. Bale Tote - Contestants have to carry across their shoulders a heavy bar/yoke in a timed event. In 2017 Brian Shaw carried a 710 kg (1,565 lb) yoke for 4 meters in 14.87 seconds. The event is also known as 'Super Yoke'.
8. Bag over bar - Contestants have to throw heavy sandbags over a 15-foot bar. In 2017 Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson threw a 45 kg (100 lb) bag over the 15-foot bar.
9. Weight over bar - Contestants have to throw a 25.5 kg (56 lb) weight derived from the Highland games,^[26] using only 1 arm, for max height over a bar. In 2019 Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson threw the weight over a 20-foot 2-inch bar.
10. Cyr Dumbbell - Lifting the classic heavy "Circus" dumbbell, used by professional Strongmen from the early 20th century but especially the variation of Louis Cyr. Richard Sorin reproduced the dumbbell for this event.^[25] It usually has a big handle of over 3 inches (76 mm) in diameter and sits lower than a normal circus dumbbell once it's shouldered before the final press, increasing its range of motion. The basic rule was to use one hand at a time and lift the dumbbell overhead either for max weight or for many reps as possible within a given time.^[9] In 2020 Mateusz Kieliszkowski lifted a 145 kg (320 lb) dumbbell.
11. Odd Haugen's Tombstone - Contestants have to lift a natural stone that weighs 186 kg (410 lb) to their shoulder for many reps as possible. In 2019 Mateusz Kieliszkowski lifted the stone for 5 repetitions.

13. Conan's Wheel of Pain - Hailing from the Basque circle tradition, the event replicated the legendary grain mill from Conan the Barbarian (1982) where the contestants have to push a contraption which weighs 20,000 lbs around in a circle for time or distance and measured in either degrees or distance.^[27] The colossal contraption was replicated and built by Rogue Fitness. In 2019 Martins Licis pushed the wheel for a distance of 119 feet 9 inches.

Arnold Strongman Classic-Europe

2012
The official logo of the Arnold Sports Festival
Tournament information
Location	varies, 2012 contest held in Madrid, Spain
Month played	October
Established	2012
Format	Multi-event competition
Purse	$10,000
Current champion
Mateusz Kieliszkowski

In 2012, the inaugural "Arnold Strongman Classic-Europe" contest was formed and is a joint promotion between Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jim Lorimer (Arnold Sports Festival co-promoter), Dr. Rafael Santonja (president of the International Federation of Body Building, "IFBB") as well as American Strongman Corporation and Strongman Champions League.^[52]

The "Arnold Strongman Classic-Europe" contest will differ significantly from the format of the original Arnold Strongman Classic event, with less of an emphasis on brute strength and heavy events, and will include a wider variety of events and some speed/loading events similar to Strongman Champions League and World's Strongest Man contests.^[52] The format change is due largely in part to the event being broadcast and televised in 85 countries.^[52]

The 2012 contest was held in Madrid, Spain on Oct. 13 & 14, 2012, the event was sponsored by MHP.^[52] The contest is included as part of the 2012 Strongman Champions League season, and competitors earned points towards the annual SCL overall title.^[52] The inaugural contest was won by 6-time Arnold Strongman champion and reigning World's Strongest Man Zydrunas Savickas of Lithuania, who was also the 2012 SCL overall champion.^[53]
