The 2022 edition of USAWA’s Old Time Strongman Championship is coming up!  This will be the 11th installment ever, and the 8th that we have hosted in the outskirts of glamourous Turney, MO.  There have been 8 separate male champions since its inception, with 2 lifters winning the championship twice (Chad Ullum and myself).  There have been 4 separate female champions.  Heather Tully/Gardner won on 3 separate occasions, with Phoebe Todd being the 2 time defending champion.

The lifts are different this year than last, but the atmosphere is always the same.  There is lots of iron for the capacity for big lifting. There is no heat or air conditioning.  The restroom facilities are in the form of an outhouse out back.
