World’s Strongest Man: Group 5 Qualifers on CBS Sports Tonight

It’s the last group and only two of the six competitors will advance to the finals of the 2014 World’s Strongest Man contest—the strongman contest that entertains millions of viewers worldwide and has had a trickle down effect on the way people train as well as how they view strength sports.

Next time you see a retired executive flipping a tire or lifting a stone as a regular part of her training, remember that this is where it all started: The World’s Strongest Man contest.
