Every gym douche in the country has a set of harbingers they gto from their local Dick's Sporting Goods and those in the know have Rehboks, Andersons, APT, Versa GRips, etc.

Krsitin Rhodes, 5 times America's Strongest Woman and this years newly crowned 2012 Worlds Strongest Woman sets another standard in strength sports. Dionne Wessels, President of the American Strongman Corporation has just informed me that:
As a pro strongman I have been competing for a long while now. I've done competitions all over America and in many different countries. I've learned that every competition is going to be different so I have to be ready for any situation.I'd like to tell y'all some of my tips and tricks that can possibly help you out when heading to your future competitions.
First thing to remember is you are going to need all of your gear at the competition. What I have found to be of utmost importance is to carry your gear (lifting shoes, singlet, spandex, etc) on the plane with you if you are flying. In 2009 I traveled to Bucharest, Romania to compete in a World's Strongest Man Super Series, unfortunately I checked all of my gear and it never arrived. I had to go purchase new shoes, underwear, socks, etc etc. I also had to borrow a belt and wrist wraps. After learning this lesson I now carry all my gear in a bag on to the plane with me, inside of the same bag I put all of my supplements as well so I make sure I have my pre workout stuff before the competition. If you don't think you can carry all your gear on with you or if you have kids and need the bag space for toys and all that at a very minimum put your oly shoes in and wrap your belt around the outside of the bag and buckle it.
Robert Oberst a Hollywood Celebrity? He sure has poised himself in a position to lately. Robert at 6' 8" and 400lbs is not your average hunky hollywood heart throb on the cover of Teen Beat and GQ magazine. He is however utilizing his attitude, his physical presence and his fortitude toward constant inprovement to jockey for opportunities.
Staged at the Los Angeles FitExpo, the 2013 MET-Rx Odd Haugen Strength Classic will offer a strongman competition, a grip competition and what Haugen is calling a “strongman combat challenge.”
The All-American Strongman contest will feature a truck pull or front squat, farmer’s walk, Viking press, deadlift, super yoke and loading. Traditionally, the winner of this contest has been invited to the Arnold, although that slot is still being negotiated, according to the event's initial press release.

The 2012 Worlds Strongest Man athlete groupings have been put together and made public. It appears a ncie distribution of talents across the five groups, none with a wildly stacked advantage or disadvantage. Group One has American Derek Poundtsone and Lithuania's 2x WSM winner Zydrunas Savickas and 2011 Arnold Amateur winner Mateus Baron from Poland in what should be a rather obivous outcome.
Group Two has Americans Nick Best and Arnold Strongman Classic winner Mike "Mr Incredible" Jenkins paired with four others from around the world. In that group are two very up and comers, Thor Bjornsson and Sebatian Kurek. Group Three sees reigning WSM champion Brian Shaw paired with Misha Koklyev amongst othgers. Group four sees Ervin Katona and Vytautus Lalas as the top of thet group. The final group of Five has an interesting match up with American Mike Burke, Krzysztof Radzikowki and Terry Hollands who is coming off a biceop strain a month or so ago.
