Back and Bigger than ever!

Join us once us gain in Struthers, Ohio for one of the biggest USS Strongman events in the country! This year, we will be getting back to our roots and hosting on the street of the gym in the strongest Block Party Struthers has ever seen. This year plays host to some exciting new twists on classic events. We are stepping out of spooky season and turning back the clock to the old days of the Valley.

The Yoke to Log in a minute is a true test of strength and conditioning. I'm not sure if I have seen an event like this before... but I am guessing it sucks. Stay tuned for our feedback when we test it
