2025 Strongman

The Strongman competition will wow audiences with amazing feats of strength. The spectacle that is Strongman will amaze crowds with the immense weights that are lifted, pulled, pressed, carried, flipped, gripped, or thrown across the competition floor.

“The United States Strongman Inc. has always been committed to building the best possible events for professional and amateur strongman athletes alike,” said Willie Wessels, President of USS. “

For those of you who are new to strongman events, athletes are required to perform several strength movements, usually a variety of lifts, holds, carries, medleys during a competition, so each event is unique in the actual feats they perform and the implements they use.
