Plot summary
Every year, the Arnold Strongman Classic determines the strongest man on the planet. This edition brings together four competitors who each weigh more than 400 pounds. Zydrunas Savickas, a 40-year-old Lithuanian, holds the reputation of the Strongest Man Ever, though his best days may be behind him. Brian Shaw, an American standing 6 feet 8 inches and weighing 425 pounds, is the defending champion and appears ready to claim another title. Eddie Hall from England, known as the hungry wolf, is determined to break through, declaring he would do anything, even die, to succeed. Hafthor Bjornsson, an Icelander who portrays the Mountain on Game of Thrones, is the youngest of the group and may have the greatest potential. The host, a former bodybuilding champion, welcomes these giants to the competition.
