Memberships can be purchased online on the day of the competition, but we recommend purchasing the membership 3 days prior so we have time to approve your membership, to make check-ins easier.

Competitions 3-6 weeks before Nationals can qualify for the upcoming Nationals OR the nationals the following year. If a competitor elects for their qualification to apply to the upcoming Nationals, they will need to qualify for the Nationals of the following year separately.

Competitions less than 3 weeks before Nationals qualify for the Nationals of the following year.

All other competitions qualify for the upcoming nationals.

At some contests this is allowed, but most events have an entry deadline. Please check the entry form or contact the promoter directly.

First time competitors can compete in the Novice or Open division in most Strongman Corporation licensed events, including local shows, State Championships, Regional Championships, and Pro-Ams. 

Nationals, the Arnold Amateur World Championship, America’s Strongest Man and Woman, and any “invitationals” require qualification.

The novice division is designed for athletes who are early in their strongman and strength training journey. If you’re uncertain whether the novice division is the right fit for you, it’s a good idea to consult with the competition promoter or the Strongman Corporation State Representative in your area. They can help you determine the best division for your skill level.

Advancing Beyond Novice: If you have previously competed in a strongman event as a novice and placed in the top three in a division with 8 or more athletes, top two in a division with 5-7 athletes, or won a division with 3-4 athletes, you are no longer considered a novice. In such cases, you will be required to compete in the open division moving forward.
