Friday, Sept. Strongmen and Highland Games athletes, he says, are "honestly the nicest group of people I've ever met. These guys would give you the shirt off their back, the shoes off their feet.

Not that they don't engage in some good-natured ribbing and clowning around. Glassman, a married father of one, spends a good portion of his down time sabotaging the attempts of a bachelor competitor's efforts to chat with female fans.

While there's a certain amount of fame to be had from Highlander and strongmen competitions, the prize money is scarce — just a few thousand dollars, plus hotel and airfare, which doesn't really even cover the cost of acquiring what strongmen refer to as the "toys" that they lift, carry, and throw. In the end, the big question — why do this? While Gregor Edmunds, the current Highland Games world champion, may joke that he took up the sport because he wanted to "thrash" his father, a Highland Games legend, and Benderoth, the police officer, claims that he competes because he can't sing and dance; it's really all about having fun and hearing the roar of the crowd.

It gives me power," says Mr. Zijlstra, as he enjoys a surprisingly small postgames snack of mashed potatoes and gravy. The Games at Loon, he says, are the only competition in the US that he still travels to, simply because he likes the people so much.

Will he be back next near? Apparently, there's a force that's even greater than the strongest of the strongmen. Already a subscriber?
