2022 Arnold UK
September 23-24, 2022
A brother to the Arnold Strongman Classic, the Arnold UK stands highly acclaimed in the sport of Strongman. This competition has had a long history of sporting the heaviest weights and the highest level of athletes. To be a winner of an Arnold UK speaks volumes of how high a pedigree of that strength athlete. A Women's competition will also be held this year with 6 women and 4 different weight categories battling it out to see who is worthy to be the winner of the Arnold Uk. There will be a total of 62,000 pounds in prize money given away at this year's competition. 30,000 pounds of that will go to the winner of Men's competition. The prize money for the women has not been announced. Regardless of placement, every strongman competitor will get paid something.
