Event Rules:

1) Max Axle Press: 

- Athlete will have 60 seconds to complete the lift after being given the go ahead from the judge. - The axle must be controlled back to the ground. (No Throwing of the implement). The axle does not need to be returned to the chest on the descent, only controlled to the ground. 

-Any dropped lift will result in a failed lift and will not count. If you are told your lift does not count, you may attempt it again providing you still have time within your allotted 60 seconds for that particular lift. 

- Each athlete has 3 attempts (Wessels Rule).

- Lift is completed when the judge calls “down”. To receive the “down” call, the lifter must have knees, hips and shoulders locked out and head “through”. 

- No belt cleans. The athlete can not rest the axle on the belt and then clean it to the shoulders. 

- Allowed- Chalk is allowed. Belts are allowed, an under belt and an over belt is allowed.  Wraps and sleeves are allowed. Grip Shirts are allowed (no Strongman Corp. grip shirts). 

2) Car Deadlift: After given the start command, the athlete will pull the frame into a fully locked out position. The athlete must wait for the judge to issue a down command to receive credit for a rep. There will be no "up" command after the first rep. Most reps in a minute wins. Straps, deadlift suits, belts, knee and elbow sleeves allowed. No tacky and the athlete's hand must be touching the frame at all times. 

3) Carry Medley: The athlete will carry 4 objects (keg, sandbag, iron cross, and a mystery item) in order for 40 feet each. The keg and the iron cross must remain standing after the carry. The fastest time wins (60 second time cap). 

4) Car/Truck Push Medley: The athlete will push three vehicles increasing in size for approximately 50 feet each. The vehicles will be staggered so the athlete will move from one to the next as fast as possible. Fastest time wins (one minute time cap).
