Georgia's Strongest Man is back after a 1 year hiatus. This is a storied event that has seen many amateurs who have gone on to great heights from America's Strongest Man champions, OSG and Professional Strongman League podium finishes and even Giants Live competitors. This year we carry on that tradition while honoring our own Scott Helm's Memorial down in Columbus Georgia!  We're looking to make it even bigger this year with more sponsors, help and hopefully prizes / cash for our competitors. 

PRIZES: 

BEST COMPETITOR - Our judges, loaders and promoters will pick 1 ATHLETE to be the Best KIDS Competitor and Each of these winners will get a $100 check on the spot! The criteria for this is not just their ability as a Strongman but also a person and competitor as they go throughout the day. 

EVERY competitor will receive a gift bag with tons of goodies from our sponsors as well as a a competition T-shirt. 

Weights posted are NOT FINALIZED, but meant to be place holders to show the caliber of the show. We will do some more testing and confirm soon! Save the date and come compete!
