为了让更多的人认识和了解大力士运动，同时让热爱这项运动的训练者可以站在国际标准的竞赛舞台上，2022年6月18日，经LIFT ON海椰丝大力士主办和多名品牌商赞助，于以推进国际化街区建设而著称的粤海街道“深圳湾创新广场发布中心”隆重举行了2022第2届海椰丝·深圳最强大力士比赛。
品牌云集的赛事活动
此次大赛的主办方是LIFT ON海椰丝大力士，负责人Travis和Ambru，负责人Travis本身是一个专业的大力士运动员，是多项国际、国内大力士赛的冠军，此外他还是海椰丝大力士馆的镇馆教练，本次赛事中他带出的学员均名列前茅。Ambru是海椰丝大力士赛品牌的主策划与执行人，负责过多项国际赛事。
据悉，LIFT ON海椰丝是深圳仅有的一家结合大力士训练和为力量运动员定制食物的场馆。2019年起以东道主身份，邀请了许多著名的世界力量运动员到中国多个城市举办冠军见面会，并传授大力士训练，这其中包括了世界第一大力士Martins Licis。此外，他们还是国际多项中大型大力士赛事的主办方与承办方。
由于大力士赛的新颖和主办方的大力推进，本次赛事获得较多的赞助商支持，聚集了燕谷坊、Ginour Sports、Smart Nutrition等近二十位营养产品公司、餐饮品牌、传媒公司和健身机构赞助商。其中，维世达胜凯国际医疗提供医疗赞助，Quik.media提供传媒赞助，为大赛的顺利进行提供了强有力的物质保障。
本次比赛在深圳属第二次举办，有近40名运动员参加，其中一半外籍：美国、英国、加拿大、南非、巴西、西班牙、塔吉克斯坦等，充分体现了该赛事的国际化和文化包容性。女子选手在本次比赛中也展现了高涨的热情，不仅占有总人数的30%，而且在个人成绩预申报时还体现了巾帼不让须眉的实力。近几年，我们看到越来越多的女性加入到了大力士运动中，发现女性对力量和身材审美有了不一样的定义，这是时代发展进步的一种体现。
与国际接轨的大力士赛
据介绍，本场赛事（海椰丝·深圳最强大力士比赛）是中国第一场与国际接轨的大力士比赛，其与世界权威和权威的两项国际大力士赛事已达成合作：“官方大力士赛”（Official Strongman Games）和“海边大力士赛”（Clash on the Coast）。各组别的冠军，可以作为中国第一位职业大力士选手去参加国际赛事，与全世界顶尖的大力士运动员一起比拼。
主办方负责人本身也是运动员，其强调道：每个运动员的付出，都应该在更大的舞台上让更多的人看见。我们努力将赛事打造到符合甚至超越国际的标准，就是希望在深圳最强大力士比赛的舞台上，让所有人见证每个力量运动员为了突破自己记录时的挣扎和他们努力为自己目标而拼搏的精神。让越来越多的中国大力士，可以被世界看见！
竞争激励的经典大力士项目
每年的海椰丝·深圳最强大力士比赛均以不同风格打造，2022年是以西方马戏团表演的风格呈现，本着大力士的娱乐性本质，此次大赛在向观众展示运动员惊人壮举的同时又带来了马戏团的灯光、流动的马戏团帘和爆米花的香味，让每一位在现场的人都可以感受到大力士这项非传统的运动，还可以具有观赏性。
这个比赛对参赛运动员来说将会是一个挑战，不仅基于力量，而且基于耐力和毅力。每个参赛者都需要在所有项目中发挥出自己的最佳水平，将自己推向极限，逐步攻破赛项，才能取得领先。
国际大力士比赛的项目有很多种，本次比赛是最为经典的5个项目：传统硬拉、负重搬运接力、负重农夫走、原木推举和阿特拉斯巨石搬运。
比赛根据体重组指定选手需要举起的重量，分别以次数最多、速度最快、耐力最久、极限重量最大等挑战为选手计算成绩。本次比赛选手需要挑战的重量最高达到275公斤。
与此同时，每个项目的比赛规则也各不相同，运动员需要了解每个项目的规则，避免犯规。因此在大力士比赛项目中，不只有对他们体能、力量、耐力、意志力的挑战，更有对他们聪明清醒的头脑的考验，可以说，大力士比赛是一场货真价实的最强王者之争！
各体重组的冠军将获得3000元奖金和价值1500元的赞助商奖品，亚军和季军也有相当高的奖金和奖品。主办方负责人Travis表示，未来还将努力帮助运动员获得更多奖金，因为运动员付出的精力和血汗应当获得嘉奖，参赛者应觉得他们为了备赛付出的时间是值得的。
深圳最强大力士比赛，一如既往地以其运动员对自我极限的不断突破，感染了现场的每一位观众。在现场，你可以真切地感受到这里充满了勇气、感觉和挫折的情感跌宕，这是只有在现场的人才能独享的体验。运动员们将自己的一切都投入到一个动作中，就只是为了更快一秒或举起哪怕再多1公斤。
主办方表示，本次赛事的圆满成功，在丰富深圳全民健身赛事活动、积极推动大力士运动的普及和推广的同时，也鼓励了海椰丝今后每年还将继续举办深圳最强大力士比赛，为国内的大力士运动员提供一个与众不同、与国际接轨的展示和交流的平台。
To promote greater awareness and understanding of strongman sports, and to offer dedicated athletes a professional and internationally recognized competition platform, the 2nd LIFT ON Strongman Shenzhen Competition was held on June 18, 2022. The event took place at the Shenzhen Bay Innovation Plaza Release Center, located in the Yuehai Subdistrict, known for its emphasis on internationalization.
A wide range of brands supported the event. It was hosted by LIFT ON Strongman, led by Travis and Ambru. Travis, a professional strongman athlete and multiple-time champion in both domestic and international competitions, also serves as the head coach at the LIFT ON Strongman gym. Many of his trainees ranked among the top performers in the competition. Ambru, the event’s chief planner and operations lead, has overseen several international events.
LIFT ON Strongman is the only venue in Shenzhen that integrates strongman training with custom nutrition services for strength athletes. Since 2019, it has hosted championship meet-and-greets with world-renowned athletes in cities across China, including World’s Strongest Man Martins Licis. The organization also plays a major role in organizing and sponsoring international strongman events.
Thanks to the novelty of the sport and the strong promotion efforts, the event attracted considerable sponsorship. Nearly twenty brands—such as nutrition companies, restaurants, media groups, and fitness organizations—joined in, including YanGuFang, Ginour Sports, and Smart Nutrition. Vista-Sunkai International Medical offered medical support, while Quik.media provided media sponsorship, ensuring solid logistical backing for the competition.
This was the second time the event was held in Shenzhen and featured nearly 40 athletes, with around half from outside China, including the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, South Africa, Brazil, Spain, and Tajikistan. This demonstrated the event’s international reach and cultural inclusivity. Notably, women made up about 30% of competitors and showcased fierce determination, reflecting the growing number of women embracing strongman sports and redefining strength and body aesthetics.
As the first strongman event in China to align with international standards, the LIFT ON Strongman Shenzhen Competition has partnered with two globally recognized contests: the Official Strongman Games and Clash on the Coast. Winners of each category earned the opportunity to represent China in these elite international competitions, marking them as the country's first professional strongman athletes on the global stage.
Travis, the event’s organizer and a competitor himself, emphasized that every athlete deserves to be seen on a larger platform. The goal is to match or exceed international standards, allowing spectators to witness the determination, struggle, and spirit that drives each strength athlete to push beyond their limits. This visibility helps more Chinese strongmen earn recognition worldwide.
The 2022 edition featured a circus-themed setting to highlight the entertainment roots of strongman sports. From dramatic lighting and curtains to the scent of popcorn, the event was designed to immerse the audience in a sensory experience that combined spectacle with athleticism.
Athletes faced not only strength tests but also endurance and strategy challenges. They had to understand the unique rules of each event, requiring not just physical strength but also mental clarity and discipline.
The five classic events included: traditional deadlift, loaded carry relay, farmer’s walk, log press, and the iconic Atlas stone lift. Athletes were scored on maximum reps, fastest time, longest endurance, and highest weight lifted. The heaviest challenge reached 275 kilograms.
Winners of each weight class received a 3,000 RMB cash prize and 1,500 RMB in sponsor gifts. Runners-up and third-place finishers were also awarded. Travis noted that the team aims to increase future prize pools to better reward the time and effort athletes invest in preparation.
True to its legacy, the Shenzhen Strongman Competition inspired all spectators through the athletes’ relentless pursuit of personal limits. On-site, the emotion was palpable—courage, passion, and setbacks blended in real time. Each competitor gave everything for just one more second or one extra kilogram.
The event's success helped further popularize strongman sports and enrich Shenzhen’s fitness culture. Organizers plan to continue hosting the competition annually, providing a world-class platform for Chinese athletes to compete, grow, and connect with the international strongman community.
