Event Rules:

1) Axle Press for reps: 

- Athlete will have 60 seconds to complete as many reps as possible (one clean and then press away). - The athlete may set the axle down, rest, reclean it, and resume pressing until the 60 seconds time cap hits. 
 

-Please do not drop or throw the axle from the lockout position (no tree-topping). This can result in a no rep being called. 

- The athlete must wait for a down command from the judge before receiving credit for a rep.

- 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) Press/Carry Medley: The athlete will press two objects (a keg and then a sandbag) for one rep each. Then the athlete will carry the iron cross down and back for 70 total feet. The iron cross must remain standing after the carry. The fastest time wins (60 second time cap). 

4) Farmers Carry/Car Push Medley (Head-to-Head): The athlete will carry the farmer's implement down and back for 70 total feet and then push a vehicle for approximately 50 feet each. Once the front bumper crosses the finish line the time stops. Fastest time wins (one minute time cap).
