On September 15th & 16th the top Pro Strongwoman in the world will be competing at the Olympia in three different weight classes with 5 taxing events for 15,000 in prize money, the title of Strongest Woman In The World and to qualify for the Arnold Pro Strongwoman 2018.
Hosted by Strongman Corporation in its second year The Strongest Woman In The World features some stacked line ups in each class and 5 events that are a bit out of the normal variety. We have the usual log press for reps but most likely the heaviest we have seen with 200 for reps in the open class.
Event 2 the fatback farmers is a new twist. Not only will athletes have to carry 240lbs per hand in the farmers walk in the open class but perform 8 deadlifts as well! The remaining events are all very back and grip specific with a heavy keg load for reps, a arm over arm pull all topped off with an axle deadlift of 325/375/425 for reps.
It will take a very strong and resilient back to be crowned Strongest Woman In The World.
