It’s been almost three years since Larry “Wheels” Williams last competed in a professional strongman competition . Judging from his latest incredible training feat, you’d think he never missed any time. On May 30, 2022, Wheels shared footage of himself notching a 421.8-kilogram (930-pound) deadlift triple .

Tom Stoltman has won the 2022 World’s Strongest Man , making him the first champion in six years to win back-to-back titles. Stoltman dominated his group in the Qualifying rounds , consistently winning first place through all six initial events. Still, he entered the Finals one-and-a-half points behind 2020 WSM winner Oleksii Novikov. Clearly not an insurmountable lead, but Novikov’s early performances during Days Four and Five made Stoltman push hard to achieve victory.  Tom Stoltman’s 2022 Path to Victory Stoltman and Novikov battled back and forth, trading first and second place finishes throughout the first day of Finals, barring Mitchell Hooper’s surprise win during the KNAACK Giant’s Medley . In Day Two, Novikov took an initial lead during the Bus Pull with a first place win as Stoltman came in third. However, Novikov gave up ground during the Reign Total Body Fuel Power Stairs and Stoltman won a dominant first place in the conclusive Atlas Stones to secure his second title w

The 2022 WSM contest comes to a close after three more events in the second, and last, day of Finals. Classic strongman events, raw strength, and deep willpower were the highlights of the exciting day. Oleksii Novikov came into the day with a narrow two-point lead over last year’s champion Tom Stoltman, putting them in the most likely contention for the top spot. Licis, Mitchell, and Hooper were close behind in a tough battle to make the podium. Shaw, Luke Stoltman, Boudreault, Rheaume, and Melsted continued to battle for points despite not having any clear path to victory. 2022 WSM Finals Leaderboard Rank Name Points 1 Tom Stoltman — United Kingdom 53.5 2 Martins Licis — USA 43 3 Oleksii Novikov — Ukraine 43 4 Brian Shaw — USA 37.5 5 Maxime Boudreault — Canada 34.5 6 Trey Mitchell — USA 34 7 Luke Stoltman — United Kingdom 30.5 8 Mitchell Hooper — Canada 30 9 Eythor Ingolfsson Melsted — Iceland 13 10 Gabriel Rheaume — Canada 1

The bench press is seen as the go-to chest exercise by many lifters looking to build a well-rounded set of pecs , but it has some limitations. Most significantly, it’s not actually a “chest” exercise . It’s a “chest, shoulders, and triceps” exercise because it’s a compound (multi-joint) movement and it lacks the ability to effectively target a single muscle. This is where isolation (single-joint) exercises can shine. The dumbbell flye is one of the most efficient exercises to really zero in on the chest. It emphasizes development of your pecs while creating less overall demand and lower general fatigue in other muscles. Here’s why you should add this bodybuilding staple to your chest workout .

Chris “CBum” Bumstead is smack dab in the middle of his off-season , but that doesn’t mean he’s not testing his body in the gym every chance he gets. The bodybuilder is pursuing his fourth straight Classic Physique Olympia title (2019-2021) and seems deadset on that mission. On May 25, 2022, Bumstead shared a video on his YouTube channel that saw him challenge his chest and shoulders. At the same time as Bumstead pushed it in training, he sandwiched in an ongoing full-day Q&A for his fans and channel subscribers.
