Mighty Mitts: The Contest – Iron Game History – June 2010

Over the weekend of March 5-7, 2010, in addition to the Arnold Strongman Classic ‘s traditional tests of total body strength, we introduced a new feature for the crowds at the Expo Center-a sort of appetizer for the Strongman buffet. This new feature, “Mighty Mitts,” was supported by MHP (our main sponsor) and also by Epicentr, a large building supply corporation located in the Ukraine. MM was a stand-alone contest and did not involve any of our Strongman competitors. Instead, it showcased ten men who are well-known or even famous for the strength of their hands. These men faced four challenges and could win up to $1000 per event. The challenges took place atop the Expo Stage on Friday and Saturday, immediately before and after our Arnold Strongman Classic events.
