Steinholding (sport)

Common card · No. 334149

Steinholding, also known as Masskrugstemmen, is a traditional Bavarian strength and endurance contest where competitors hold a full one-liter beer stein, weighing five pounds. The goal is to hold the stein out in front of the body with a straight arm for as long as possible without bending the elbow or spilling any beer. The competitor who can hold their stein with proper form for the longest duration is the winner. The U.S. Steinholding Association regulates the sport in the U.S. It provides the official rules, training tips, and sanctions competitions across the country.
