“They have bodybuilding IFBB, fitness, powerlifting and armlifting,” Tyukalov told IronMind.
“We will have Rolling Thunder from our [armlifting] repertoire. The best Estonian sporstmen and sportsmen from neighboring countries will attend. The biggest stars are Andrus Murumets and Ott Kivikas.”
Andrus Murumets, a top competitor on the professional strongman circuit a few years ago, is also a former world record holder on the Rolling Thunder and is certified on the No. 3 Captains of Crush gripper—even those accomplishments do not tell the full story of his prodigious grip strength.
The winners of this competition will receive IronMind gift certificates.
