Pure Strength was a vintage Strongman competition held from 1987 to 1990 in Scotland and England which was created by Tjalling van den Bosch.

[1] The first year of the event was known as "Pure Strength Challenge" and it was a single man competition featuring only Bill Kazmaier, Geoff Capes and Jón Páll Sigmarsson.

The event was held at Huntly Castle in Aberdeenshire, Scotland.

Some strength historians and analysts regard it as the replacement for World's Strongest Man in that year.

The teams were from the United States, Great Britain, the Netherlands and Australia.
