Strongman Lineup Overview
The first athlete that deserves a mention is none other than last year’s champion of the Rogue Invitational, Mitchell Hooper. The Canadian Strongman is easily one of the most consistent Strongmen in the pro scene and is looking to win the competition for the second year in a row. He has already defended his Arnold Strongman Classic title this year, but failed to hold on to his 2023 WSM title.
Hafthor Bjornsson is another interesting athlete, as he never had the chance to compete at the Rogue Invitational before. However, as his record shows, Hafthor wins the large majority of the competitions in which he takes part, including the WSM, multiple Arnold Strongman Classics, Europe’s Strongest Man, and more.
“If Rogue puts up a max deadlift with a suit and a figure 8 straps I’ll break the deadlift WR!” said Hafthor Bjornsson.
One athlete that cannot be looked past is Tom Stoltman. The three time and reigning World’s Strongest Man is in the best shape of his career and is looking to have his best finish yet at the Rogue Invitational. Both of his previous appearances saw him settle for second place. So, the only way to improve is to win the competition.
Strongwoman Lineup Overview
The Strongwoman division at the 2024 Rogue Invitational is stacked, to say the least. It features multiple World’s Strongest Woman champions, and no particular athlete is unbeatable.
Still, it is worth mentioning a few who have been experiencing a very decent season. The first one is Angelica Jardine, who crushed her opposition at one of the biggest competitions of the year, the 2024 Arnold Strongwoman Classic. She then went on to place second at the Arnold UK, proving that she is consistently in contention for the title.
Lucy Underdown has also been having an incredible season, winning the 2024 Arnold UK and the 2024 Britain’s Strongest Woman competitions. Moreover, she impressed everyone with a 666-pound (302-kilogram) Elephant Bar Deadlift World Record. So, she hopes to add more accolades to her list at the 2024 Rogue Invitational.
The 2023 World’s Strongest Woman Rebecca Roberts has been going toe-to-toe with Lucy Underdown for the past two years and has often come out on top. So, it is safe to assume that she will be one of the favorites for the title at the 2024 Rogue Invitational as well.
