DVD CONTENTS:
Enjoy the full coverage of this incredible display of skill, power and strength. Split over two days, the competitors battled it out over five incredibly heavy and stressful events.
Hafthor Bjornsson of Iceland won the Arnold Strongman Classic title for the second straight year with a dominating performance. The event also serves as the Arnold Pro Strongman World Championship. Bjornsson was competing in the Arnold Strongman Classic for the 9th straight year.
Martins Licis of Los Angeles, who won two qualifying events in the Arnold Pro Strongman World Series, was second and the upstart Mateusz Kieliszkowski of Poland was third.
The highlight of the final event, though, was Kieliszkowski, who set a world record in the Stone To Shoulder with five reps at 410 pounds. The performance brought the sold-out Arnold Classic crowd to its feet.
For the victory, Bjornsson received congratulations from Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, $72,000 and the Louis Cyr Trophy. Licis earned $22,000 for finishing second.
This DVD covers each of the 5 events which were held in this order:
1. ROGUE Elephant Bar
2. Husafell Stone Carry
3. Conan’s Wheel of Pain
4. Austrian Oak
5. Stone To Shoulder
Right before the Austrian Oak there is a video tribute to the late Dr Terry Todd.
