The 2023 World’s Strongest Firefighter Finals saw St. Amand having to compete in a few different events, including a weighted axe hold, sandbag carry, and fire hydrant deadlifts.
In the sandbag carry, St. Amand became the first competitor to successfully transport all three weighted bags across the finish line, with the final bag weighing 300 lbs. Ending with the fire hydrant lifts, St. Amand was able to successfully pick up the four hydrants, weighing 175 lbs, 200 lbs, 225 lbs, and 250 lbs, and stand them up on a raised shelf.Unfortunately, he was not able to finish in the top three spots of the 2023 World’s Strongest Firefighter Contest, but event host Arnold Schwarzenegger still handed out consolation prizes to each of the competitors and shared some kind words.
