Weigh in Information:  You may weight in the day of the contest.  However if you would like to weigh in on Friday 8/27, and for those of you who are cutting weight, you may weigh in at Forge Fitness 141 N Main St. Crystal Lake IL 60014 from 10:00 A.M. until 3:00 P.M. or from 6:00-9:00 P.M.  if those times don't work just send me a text and I can meet you over at Forge pretty much anytime.  

Log Press:  Clean and Press each rep.  Any press technique ok.  No built up belts.  Chalk Allowed.  Good press called with both arms locked out and feet in line.  

Car Deadlift.  Up and Down calls will be given.   Good rep when knees hip and back are all locked out and in line.  Chalk, Lifting straps, lifting hooks, Belt, all ok.  No deadlift suits of any kind.  Costumes are however not only allowed but encouraged.  

Harness Truck Pull:  Harness will be provided, however if you have your own and would like to use it you may.  A lead rope will be provided if the size of the truck makes it necessary, but don't plan on it.  As with previous years if I am unhappy with the size of the truck I am able to obtain this will turn into a mystery event I will announce at the rules meeting.  This has never been an issue in the past but it is always a posibility,  Pull will be approx. 50 feet.  Credit will be given for time to complete or total distance. 

Farmer walk to yoke walk:  Pretty straight forward here.  Two Farmer walk implements will be carried 50 feet set down and a yoke will be carried the 50 feet back to the starting line.  Credit will be given for total distance. Time will determine placing if the event is completed.  

Loading Medley:  3 implements (at least) will be carried and loaded onto a platform.  Carries will be approx 30, 20, and 10 feet.  Tacky will be allowed.  Credit will be given for number of implements loaded and the time in which they are done (split times will be given)

Please note that the weights listed are tentative and adjustments will be made as additional testing is done and equipment is modified.
