2023 Arnold Strongman Classic Day One
The first day of competition kicked off with the massive Wheel of Pain, inspired by the torturous device that build Conan’s fictional strength and physique. Competitors had a 60-second time limit to carry the massively weighted bar along a fixed track for maximum distance.
The final event of the day is a specialized log lift. Competitors has 90 seconds to achieve as many repetitions as possible with either 195 kilograms (430 pounds) or 175 kilograms (386 pounds). Points are adjusted in favor of the heavier weight, though some competitors may strategically use the lighter implement to yield more overall repetitions.

How Strongman is Scored
Scoring points in competitive strongman events relates to the overall field of competitors. First place can earn as many points as there are competitors, and points descend accordingly.
For example, with 10 competitors in total, first place earns 10 points; second place receives nine; third receives eight; and so on.
In the event of any tied scores, points are split evenly. If two athletes tie for a position, add up the respective placing points and divide by two. For example, if two athletes tie for second place, they would each earn 8.5 points (nine [second place] plus eight [third place] divided by two).
