This is your complete guide on how to turn that dream into reality. The path to becoming a Strongman on the World’s Strongest Man stage is incredibly demanding, with only the top 30 athletes from around the globe earning the coveted spot. To get there, you’ll need to dedicate thousands of hours to training, building your body into a powerhouse of strength. But don’t worry — there are clear steps along the way, and one of the most important milestones is competing in Giants Live arena shows – The Official Strongman World Tour.
Giants Live is more than just a Strongman competition; it’s the official qualifying series for the World’s Strongest Man contest. These events span the globe, from Australia to Iceland, with regular stops in the UK and USA, searching for the strongest men in the world. Each event challenges up to 14 Strongman athletes in five thrilling events. Secure a top-three finish, and you’ll not only win a prize but also a golden ticket to the WSM Group Stage.
As one of the 30 men who make it to the WSM Group Stage, you’ll compete against five other Strongmen, with only the top two advancing to the World’s Strongest Man Final. From there, the top 10 athletes will battle through five more events to crown the ultimate Strongman champion.

Who are the 4 strongest men of all time?
This is a difficult one!! We would say the strongest man in history is Big Z (Žydrūnas Savickas). Big Z has over 80 International wins including 4x World's Strongest Man titles. We have Bill Kazmaier (Kaz) is coming in second. The American Powerlifter was the first star to emerge in Strongman establishing world records in the deadlift and log lift as well as winning World's Strongest Man 3 times. Magnús Ver Magnússon was a true all rounder of his era, even winning World's Strongest Man on his first attempt in 1991. He also is one of two strongmen to win 3 titles back to back in 94, 95 and 96 making him our third strongest man of all time. Coming in 4th we have Eddie Hall. Despite Eddie winning World's Strongest Man in 2017, arguably what he is known best for is being the first person to lift an insane 500kg in 2016, an unbelievable feat of strength! In competition, no other strongman has become within 16kg of lifting this weight 7 years later.
