From 5 to 8 March, the 32nd edition of theArnold Classic sports festival will take place. This festival will not only include the traditional bodybuilding competition under the IFBB banner, but also other sports such as strongman sport. The latter will offer not only professionals, but also amateurs and children.

Strongman sport was first shown at the Arnold Classic in 2002, the winner of the first edition was powerlifter, weightlifter, strongman and also wrestler Mark Henry.

Below you can watch a video clip from the 2002 Arnold Strongman Classic, where you can see Mark Henry move and then push press a 166kg axelpress over his head! In his technique you can see the weightlifting "art", which is not very common in strongmen.
