Dave's Gym's Strongest Man 2024

We’re back for our third year in a row! This is a beginner friendly comp and we encourage as many people as possible to come along and get involved. There will be four entry categories: Women, Men’s First Timer, Men’s Beginner, Men’s Novice. Spaces are limited to 8 competitors per category. Please pick a category commensurate with your level of strength. If you have previously placed in the top 3 in your category in a previous DGSM competition, then you must move up to the next category. If we think you’ve entered the wrong category, we may ask you to change or to withdraw as necessary.
