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 .

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 .
