Arnold Strong Man Traditional Competition was founded in 2002. It is considered to be a strong man competition with the nature of strength enhancement, characterized by indoor competition, and the actual load of equipment is greater than that of the world's strongest man competition. Lithuanian athlete Zydrunas Savickas6 won the championship six times, more than the sum of other athletes.
The events and equipment of the strong man competition are not fixed, the rules are not strict, and there is no strict world record. Common events are as follows:
Atlas stone balls require athletes to lift five stone balls ranging from 65,438+000 to 65,438+060 kilograms to platforms of different heights in turn. The heavier the stone ball, the shorter the corresponding platform, and the winner is the one who takes the shortest time. If you can't complete all the games, you will be ranked according to the number of stone balls you have completed.
The pulling event requires athletes to wear strong vests and connect the vests with heavy trucks or planes with ropes. Athletes need to push the ground hard, overcome the ground friction, and pull the truck or plane forward a specified distance to win in the shortest time. If you can't pull the whole journey, rank by pulling away.
The clean and jerk requires athletes to lift a barbell-like wheel, or a trunk-shaped barbell, or a stone and other competition equipment from the ground above their heads. There are two ways to compete, one is not to fix the weight of the equipment, the maximum weight that can be lifted in the competition, and the other is to fix the weight of the equipment and the number of times to complete the competition in a fixed time.

Squat events require athletes to lift the strength platform through barbell bars connected to the strength platform. There are three ways to compete. One is the maximum weight that you can squat down in the competition, the other is the fixed equipment weight and the number of times to complete the competition in a fixed time, and the other is to automatically increase the number of iron drums on the power platform through pulleys, so that the person who squats all the iron drums in the shortest time wins.
