The 2018 Arnold
Strongman Classic

Rogue Fitness has been a proud sponsor of the Arnold Strongman Classic since 2012

"The strongman field now seems to be drawing the greatest strength athletes. They can do things that real experts, 50 years ago, would have laughed if you had said people could lift a 600lb stone off the ground. It's preposterous."

Terry Todd

Event Implements
Rogue Elephant Bar Debut: 2016
The Rogue Elephant Bar is a 9’7”, 29mm, 200 KSI tensile strength stainless steel barbell. Weighing in at 65 pounds, it was designed specifically to survive 1,000+ LB deadlifts, as evidenced by Hafthor Bjornsson’s record-breaking 1,041 LB lift at the 2018 event. It has the same knurl texture as our signature Ohio Power Bar, and standard powerlifting knurl marks, but 18 inches of clear space between the knurl to accommodate larger lifters.
Extensive testing was performed with multiple types and diameters of steel, including hundreds of 1,000+ LB drops, to find a bar that would flex like a deadlift bar, but withstand the biggest lifts ever performed on the planet.

The Stone Shoulder Debut: 2018
A Strongman challenge in its purest form. Competitors in the Stone Shoulder have 2.5 minutes to do as many reps as they can lifting a 410 LB natural stone from the ground up to their shoulder. With four reps, Mateusz Kieliszkowski of Poland was the 2018 victor in the event.

Bag Over Bar Debut: 2017
The “Bag Over Bar” event challenges competitors to toss custom-made Rogue handle bags (weighing approx. 50 LB to 100 LB) over a 15-foot high bar. The event is judged on both the weight of the bag and the number of successful tosses. With a 95 LB toss, Hafthor Bjornsson took first place in this event for a second straight year.

Apollon's Wheel Debut: 2018
Rogue’s new take on a legendary Strongman implement. Built from an actual train axle, this 400 LB bar must be cleaned and push-pressed over the head for points. Competitors are given 2 minutes to complete as many reps as possible. In 2018, Apollon’s Wheel was the closing event at the Arnold, and saw new champion Hafthor Bjornsson match defending champ Brian Shaw with 3 completed reps to clinch the title.

Timber Carry Debut: 2012
Designed by Terry Todd, built by Hugo and Jonathan Hemme of Texas, and adapted through the years by Steve Slater. This year, the massive wood frame used in the Timber Carry weighed in at over 1,100 LBS (500 KG), with competitors required to carry it up a 35-foot (9 meter) ramp. Given a time limit of 30 seconds, 2018 first place finisher Jerry Pritchett of the USA completed the challenge in just 9.58 seconds.

History of Strongman
“People in those days knew how important it would be to a man to be able strong. In a world in which a lot of people earned their living by the strength of their back, that meant something.”

The Arnold Weightlifting Championships, Powered by Rogue, is one of the marquee events of the annual Arnold Sports Festival in Columbus, Ohio (currently the largest multi-sport festival in America). Since 2003, this competition—hosted by Columbus Weightlifting Club, Inc.—has showcased dozens of the country’s most accomplished lifters, including established pros and rising stars in the sport. There’s a reason Schwarzenegger himself helps produce the event and regularly makes an appearance.

As of 2015, the Arnold Weightlifting Championships include five divisions of competition for both female and male weightlifters. To date, more than $200,000 in prize money and scholarships have been awarded to top finishers, making it one of the premier events in American weightlifting.
