Location has changed! See the UPDATE below.

Good Morning!

Here is an update for the 2024 Old Time Strongman World Championships, USA location.

Due to the cold temperatures and no heat in the warehouse location, the meet has been officially moved to BUFFVILLE GYM.

Buffville has heat & will be nice and warm for everyone.

The Buffville Gym address is
205 South Spring Street
Albany, Kentucky.

Buffville Gym is a fantastic place we hosted meets in the past. Also, on Saturday, immediately following the awards we will have the OTSM RECORD DAY.

If you plan on participating in the Record Day portion, please let me know what lifts/records you want to perform. This way I can ensure we have all the proper equipment available for you to set incredible records.

Finally, plenty of seats will be available, but feel free to bring your own chair to be more comfortable.

I’m looking forward to seeing everyone this weekend.

As a final reminder all Old Time Strongman lifts are now available to set IAWA World Records!

This is the OFFICIAL OLD TIME STRONGMAN WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP.  This is a POSTAL meet, so different countries can all compete simultaneously across the World. The OTSM Worlds will take place on December 7 in different locations on separate continents. All results will be sent in by each locations meet director and results will be tabulated ASAP! Each lifter will receive a OTSM Worlds medal and T-shirt for participating.
