Strongman in Southern California This Weekend: Mark Philippi, Odd Haugen, Jesse Marunde and Jon Andersen at the IRONMAN Expo

Plan to hit the Pasadena (California) Center Civic Auditorium this weekend if you want to see top professional strongmen Mark Philippi, Odd Haugen, Jesse Marunde and Jon Andersen in action.

Philippi, Haugen and Marunde have competed at the World's Strongest Man show, and along with sensational second year IFSA pro Jon Andersen—a strongman who looks like a bodybuilder—they will hold a seminar at 11:45 on Saturday. At 1:00 watch the big guys go for a maximum lift on a log that is 14 inches in diameter. At 5:30, see a classic strongman event, stone loading, and at 8:30, at the bodybuilding contest, watch these IFSA pros do a farmers's walk through the audience.
