STRONGMAN HISTORY There is no better way to begin a complete guide to strongman than with the history and origin of the sport itself. On some level strongman has existed as long as man has existed. Humans have always had to lift rocks and logs, or carry loads of wheat or wood on their back etc. Further down the line in history we had to move ships by rowing with oars on a boat, or pull heavy loads with ropes. Human strength in its rawest most functional form has always been important for our survival. Ancient stories of strongman like Samson in the bible and the Greek myth of Hercules has captivated us for centuries.

  • JOURNAL Building Behemoths: Part 1 Bill Starr Offers Simple Strategies for Anyone Training for Strongman Competitions
    THE JOURNAL Building Behemoths: Part 1 Bill Starr offers simple strategies for anyone training for strongman competitions. By Bill Starr March 2014 Cheryl Boatman/CrossFit Journal Cheryl Boatman/CrossFit The Pig, seen at last year’s CrossFit Games, challenged athletes to move an odd object similar to the implements seen at strongman competitions. The various Iron Man events, and particularly the most popular one of all, The World’s Strongest Man, came along in 1977 and became more popular with TV audiences than either Olympic lifting or powerlifting. The idea came from Bart Frank, who was in the entertainment business and believed a great many people would enjoy seeing extremely strong behemoths perform unusual feats of strength. He was right. Viewers, most of whom never lifted anything heavier than a case of beer, embraced the shows, which drew millions of viewers through the years. 1 of 9 Copyright © 2014 CrossFit, Inc. All Rights Reserved. Subscription info at http://journal.crossfit.com CrossFit is a registered trademark ® of CrossFit, Inc. Feedback to [email protected] Visit CrossFit.com Behemoths ... (continued) As could be expected, the success of the World’s Strongest Man brought forth knock-offs that used different lifts to determine the outcome of the contests, yet the World’s Strongest Man is still considered the best of the lot. It didn’t surprise me at all that the contests were so popular. The concept was really based on what happened at the very beginning of weight training in the late 1800s. Contests of strength between such men as Eugen Sandow and Cyclops (whose real name was Franz Bienkowski) drew packed houses all across Europe.

  • 2010Year-In-Review
    Mission The USAWA was formed to continue the long standing tradition of old-time weightlifters like Eugen Sandow, Louis Cyr, Arthur Saxon, Hermann Goerner, Warren Lincoln Travis, and many others. We strive to preserve the history of the original forms of weightlifting, which in the past has been referred to as ―odd lifting‖. Many of the lifts we perform are based on stage acts or challenge lifts of old-time strongmen. History The USAWA was organized in 1987 and was a charter member of the International All-Round Weightlifting Association. The USAWA has over 150 recognized lifts and 8000 plus records, so any strength athlete can find their niche. We have a drug testing program to encourage drug free lifting. Numerous local meets and a National competition are held each year to find true ―all-round‖ weightlifters.

International Journal of Ethnosport and Traditional Games, №1 (1), 18–31. DOI: https://www.doi.org/10.34685/HI.2019.1.1.008 ETHNOSPORT -STRONGMEN DISCIPLINE: ALFA AND OMEGA OF THE WORLD’S STRONGMEN MOVEMENT Vladislavs Redjkins PhD student, ORCID: 0000-0002-2892-143X Plekhanov Russian University of Economics, Academic Department of hospitality, tourism and sport; World Strongmen Federation, Chairman; LATVIA Annotation The article discusses research of the world’s strongmen movements genesis. The research covers historical aspects of creation and establishing of strongmen sport, as well as information about David Webster who personally contributed to the formation of strongmen. The article also contains comparative analysis of institutional forms of strongmen movement – IFSA, show «The World`s Strongest Man», a yearly festival of Arnold Schwarzenegger «Arnold Sports Festival», world's series of the World Strongman Cup under the auspieces of the World Strongman Cup Federation (Аustria). Countries, holding strongmen sport most often are outlined. It is established, that in the genesis of strongmen sports, the continuation of traditional strongmen competitions, available in most of the world's cultures, is clearly shown. For now, World's strongmen movement, consists of scattered commercial companies and sports associations, and doesn’t have any leading structure. Such a situation opens a window of opportunity for the World Strongmen Federation to become a leader of world's strongmen movement. Additional opportunities are offered by the fact, that strongman is very likely to become the recognized sport, because demonstrated by the high interest of athletes and the public towards such competitions, as well as a high and stable interest from TV stations.
