Hello All. Just to clear up any questions and information regarding Strength Quest. 1-Strength Quest was developed as a measuring instrument of your strength levels so that any Strongman event promoter can use it to select Athletes as a pre-qualifier for their events, secondly and most importantly as a tool for all participants to use to establish your strength levels using the four basic movements in Strongman...get graded and in improve on them. 2-Strength Quest is not a competition it’s a controlled training session with rules and standards consummate with current international standards of Strongman and Powerlifting (Deadlift).Additionally it’s an opportunity for coach’s to be actively involved in coaching on the day of the grading. Ideally Strength Quests should only be attended by Athletes and Coach’s so both get maximum benefit from the grading event. 3-Strength Quest will not get you a direct entry to the Arnolds in any event it will however be part of the process to be selected ,other factors are performances in the last 1-2 years from all strength sports i.e. Strongman, Power lifting ,Olympic Lifting ..All combined efforts from performance as listed will be used for selection for events. 4-All competitors in all divisions will be required to do a strength quest as part of the pre-event requirements. 5-The selection committee for the Arnold Classic Australia Pro Strongman and SHSU Heavyweight Am Cup and Arnold 105 will be.
