I might not have made it as a top-10 heavyweight finalist in the 2019 Arnold Amateur Strongman World Championships, but I sure learned a lot while I was there. Plus, I’ll be sure to apply everything I learned this time around at my next competition.

Saturday of the 2019 Arnold Sports Festival means one thing, and one thing only — the XPC Worlds! Fine, that's not entirely true...

Today at the 2019 Arnolds Sports Festival: Team elitefts athlete Matt Mills competes in the 2019 Arnold Amateur Strongman World Championships. He clears the Log Clean and Press and the Farmers Walk and is placed in the middle of the heavyweight class. Keep an eye out for more updates tomorrow, including XPC Worlds results.

While three of the four Team elitefts athletes are headed to the XPC Worlds for a day, one team member will be at the Columbus Convention Center potentially over the entire weekend for another competition. Enter Matt Mills, a middleweight strongman competitor who's going all-in to duke it out against the heavyweights.
