  • Complete highlights from the 2019 Arnold Strongman Classic, part of the Arnold Sports Festival held March 1-2, 2019, in Columbus, Ohio. Tune in March 6-8, 2020, for the full Rogue live stream of this year's Arnold Strongman Classic event and stay tuned for the full event recap happening on CBS in May.
    Defending champion Hafthor ""The Mountain"" Bjornsson takes center stage against many of the world's greatest strength athletes, from established legends like Brian Shaw to phenoms Martins Licis and Mateusz Ostaszewski. The competition also features high-profile events with one-of-a-kind implements provided by Rogue Fitness, including the much anticipated ""Wheel of Pain"" and a replica of the famous Icelandioc Husafell lifting stone.

    Once I found a half Thor. Then I found another. I put them together to make a full Thor. That motherfucker lifted 9000lbs.
