Motown's Strongest

We want to give a proper shoutout to the crew that volunteered at Motown’s Strongest III and made it such an unforgettable experience for every athlete.

These are the people who gave up their time, purely out of the love for the sport, to make this all happen. Your weight loaders, scribes, judges, scorekeepers, and athlete handlers… the ones behind the scenes who keep everything running smoothly.

They helped us move over 10,000 pounds of equipment from the gym to the venue… and then did it all over again to tear it down.

And they did it all with energy, positivity, and a smile the entire time.

Honestly, we’re a little gutted we didn’t get a proper group shot or give you all the shoutout you deserved on the mic—you earned that and more.

This sport doesn’t exist without people like you.

So when you see a strongman volunteer out in the wild… make sure you thank them for their service 😉

This is one you don’t want to miss. Come be part of the energy at Motown’s Stronges

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for strongman fans.

Join us Friday 3/20 at 7:00 PM at Proving Grounds Strength and Konditioning for an intimate evening with 4x World’s Strongest Man, Magnús ver Magnússon.

This isn’t a stage appearance or a quick meet-and-greet. It’s a small, personal setting where you’ll get to hear stories from one of the legends of the sport, ask questions, and spend real time with a man who helped shape modern strongman.

Opportunities like this don’t come around often….especially this close and personal.

Spots are limited, so sign up now before they’re gone.

Come hang out, talk strongman, and spend the evening with a true legend of the sport. 💪

Motown’s Strongest is going down inside one of Detroit’s most iconic entertainment spots — the Majestic Theatre, right in the heart of the legendary The Majestic Complex.

We’ll be throwing down in the Majestic Theatre, but once you step outside the competition space there’s a whole lot more waiting for you. On the other side of the complex you’ll find the legendary Garden Bowl where you can roll a few games, grab drinks at the bar, and crush some slices from Sgt. Pepperoni’s.

The Midtown neighborhood is also packed with great spots to grab coffee or a bite before or after the show, including local favorites like Avalon Café and Bakery, Great Lakes Coffee Roasting Company, and Supino Pizzeria.

And if you want the perfect way to wrap up your day in the city, the Detroit Red Wings are playing that night (3/21) at Little Caesars Arena — a classic Detroit way to finish the day.

Lift heavy, enjoy the venue, explore Midtown, and make a full day of Motown’s Strongest. 💪🏽🏙️🏒

Happy 313 Day, Detroit
Proud to bring Motown’s Strongest to the city we love
