Major shoutout to Caustin Sutton () — South Carolina State Rep and the powerhouse promoter behind South Carolina’s Strongest and the Southeast Regional 💪

Caustin’s passion for strongman shows in everything he does. The Southeast Regional has become Strongman Corporation’s largest regional event thanks to his leadership, and SC’s Strongest continues to be a favorite among athletes.

Here’s more about Caustin in his own words👇

— 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗯𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗼𝗹𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗺𝗮𝗻?
My first competition was in 2020! 

— 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗳𝗮𝘃𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗿 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁?
Any front carry specifically a sandbag or husafell stone. 

— 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗳𝗮𝘃𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗿𝘆?
Too many to count. It’s awesome seeing my training efforts show on competition day. I love going to competitions and seeing people smash their goals.

My name is Caustin Sutton, and I’ve proudly served as the State Chair for Strongman Corporation in South Carolina since 2021. What started as a passion for the sport quickly turned into a mission to grow Strongman in this state. After hosting my first event in 2022, I’ve continued expanding the competition year after year—with 2024 marking the debut of the Southeast Regionals and 2025 bringing it to the Myrtle Beach Convention Center. I’m a firm believer that Strongman is for everyone, and I’m committed to creating events where athletes of all backgrounds feel challenged, supported, and celebrated.

We’re lucky to have someone so committed to growing the sport and supporting the community. Thank you for all you do, Caustin!

After more than a decade, Monsters Of The Midlands is making its return—August 9th at Spud, Inc. Straps and Equipment in Elgin, SC.

Originally run by Michael Murtaugh, I’m honored to bring this event back with his blessing and continue the legacy under the same name.

This show will be smaller and lighter than Southeast Regionals, perfect for athletes looking to stay active between big comps or get their feet wet in the sport. And with spots already halfway sold out, you’ll want to register soon.

Huge shoutout to Clint Moneymaker of Scrapmasters Custom Welding for fabricating the circus dumbbells and competition axles used at this year’s Strongman Corporation Southeast Regionals @ South Carolina’s Strongest Man & Woman.

Clint’s craftsmanship and attention to detail helped elevate the quality of this event, and I couldn’t be more grateful for his support.

If you’re looking to add a circus dumbbell or axle to your training arsenal, he might still have a few available. Reach out to Clint directly for pricing and shipping info—you won’t be disappointed.
