DVD CONTENTS:
Enjoy the full coverage of this incredible display of skill and strength. Split over two days, the competitors battled it out over five horrendously heavy and stressful events to see if reigning champion, Big Z from Lithuania could retain his much coveted title, and take home the major prize again. But it was not to be with Brian Shaw winning 3 of the 5 events.
This DVD covers every moment of each of the 5 events which were as follows in this order:
1. The Austrian Oak log press - won by Zydrunas Savickas
2. The Timber Carry - won by Hafthor Bjornsson
3. The Longbar Tire Deadlift - won by Brian Shaw
4. The Bale Tote - won by Brian Shaw
5. The Cyr Dumbbell - won by Brian Shaw
The decider was the final event, the CYR DUMBBELL LIFT, where an incredible performance by USA's BRIAN SHAW saw him power to victory over Zydrunas Savickas by 1 point.
Thanks once again to my good friend and longtime helper and photographer at the Arnold Classic, JASON BREEZE, for these wonderful strongman photos that appear on the cover and in the GALLERY. jasonbreeze.com
