Iron Forge Gym presents...

Home Counties Strongest

We will now be running this competition at Iron Forge Gym. We are still going to make this into a big event and a great day of strongman, but the complicated logistics and extremely high costs (with no financial sponsors) made running the comp in the town centre an impossibility (for this year at least). Therefore we went with what we know and what works, keeping the familiar setting of Iron forge Gym. 

We will host 3 mens categories and 3 womens.

Men's Beginners / Novice

Men's Intermediates
