The Worlds Strongest Man 2021 contest will be held June 15-20th in beautiful Sacramento California. Strongman competitor and former American Log Press record holder Robert Oberst has launched a new Youtube video explaining what he knows about the events for the prelims and the finals. One thing is for certain, the new types of events […]

Consider the Press, Deadlift, Farmer’s Walk, Death Medley, and Atlas Stones. I’ll pinpoint the common weakness in each event and provide an exercise (a solution) for you to fix the weak point. No excuses!
