A strongman is a strength athlete who exhibits strength through the unconventional and more real life-ways. What does it mean by- real life ways? Well, it is one thing to be able to lift a significant amount of weights in a gym but if you were asked to apply the same strength to an outdoor task in natural circumstances, you may very well fail. Because at a gym we train within certain limits. Strongman athletes have no such limits. For them, weight doesn’t mean a barbell loaded with 6 45 lbs plates. For them, weights could be anything ranging from a fridge to truck or a rock boulder to pillars. They require heavy-duty grip strength and a whole lot of power to execute a lift.
Strongman competitions are a place to witness a group of such athletes battling against each other in fierce events to sit on the throne. The most respected throne/title in the sport of strongman is the World’s Strongest Man also known as WSM.
