  • Martins Licis-reigning World’s Strongest Man-is hoping to improve on last year’s runner-up finish in Columbus. Suffice it to say, the 29 year-old Latvian-American is no longer flying under the radar. Back in training, after winning the 2020 Arnold Pro Strongman USA Qualifier, he’s ramping up his workouts and fine-tuning his form in an attempt to take down the 2x defending Arnold Classic champion, Hafthor Bjornnson.
    Rogue’s complete live stream of the 2020 Arnold Strongman Classic begins here on Friday, March 6, at 1 PM EST. 10 strongmen will compete in 6 events over 2 days for the title of Arnold Strongman Classic Champion. Rogue’s coverage of the Arnold Classic weekend will include daily episodes of the Rogue Iron Game show featuring guests from the worlds of Strongman, Olympic Lifting, Powerlifting, and CrossFit. We will also be streaming the full 2020 Rogue Record Breakers competition and the IWF Rogue World Challenge.

      Gore4ever FulciLives aye you’re right it’s tough to compare but for sake of fairness I think you have to include someone like Bell who is dominating powerlifting at the moment - I don’t think many strongmen could total 1127.5kg in only sleeves, even with a few years of training - probably only Thor, prime Eddie & Z could

    Thor: I usually need 12-16 weeks to properly peak for a show.
    Martins: the past few weeks have been hard. I have two weeks to peak. It's doable.
    Call me naive, but I really believe if competitors never knew the events until the week of the contests, Martins would be undefeated.
