What a wonderful day to commemorate the great strongman Alexander Zass, and to also show the variety of insane feats being produced by the modern-day steel shredders!
Also in these monumental times it is a pleasure to revisit and build even more friendships worldwide!
The youngest who took part was 3 years old and I am 58, so maybe I was the oldest. There is no barrier to keeping fit and bending or breaking steel!
Please read through the feats; like last year we had a wide variety of steel events; from the crazy to the innovative, and from the once-in-a-lifetime to the just out-there feats!
All world Records and Grip Feats will be sorted tomorrow.
Onwards and upwards!!

Saturday 11 May, 2019
Venue: Wales, USA, Sweden and Hungary
Promoter: David Horne

Massive congratulations to all the competitors, and of course to the new champion Reuben Hughes! As they will all be able to tell you the strength needed for the steel and bolts chosen was top drawer! The five competitors chosen were the best competitors in recent steel bending comps around the globe. The winner will now receive the beautiful, custom-engraved leather championship belt as a prize, and the runner ups the new Alexander Zass medals!

This was a fantastic event to promote, and with my love of strength history it was like having the greats from the past tee off against each other, but instead it is the greats of today! Thank you!
