Strongman Champions League: Hungary is Next

With six contests under its belt this season, Strongman Champions League has already held more events than any other professional strongman federation, but wait . . . they still have two more on the 2009 calendar, and Andrus Murumets - a top strongman whom IronMind® also rates as one of the world’s best in grip strength - leads the season, overall.
