From the promoters who bring you Beer Muscles, All Out Strongfest, and the Original All Valley Strongman Championship...

Join us in crowning THE NEXT ALL (Delaware) VALLEY STRONGMAN CHAMPION! Prepare for feats of strength, 80s music, and lots of headbands.

Strongman Corporation Sanctioned Competition

Competitors will qualify for 2025 Strongman Corporation Nationals depending on the number of competitors in each division

All competitors (including novice) must have active Strongman Corporation membership to compete

Note that "Strongman Corporation" (aka "NAS" or “SC”) is not the same as "United States Strongman" (aka "USS"). Please make sure your membership is active for the correct federation.

Weight Class Notes: Teen is an "open" class, meaning there is only one weight class. If you're a lighter bodyweight, consider competing in Novice or Open if the Teen weights are too heavy. If weight classes are combined, the combined class will use the lower weights (eg. if LW and MW are combined, we'll use the LW weights).

Weigh-Ins will be at the following times and locations. There are NO exceptions to these times. ALL athletes must weigh in (including HW and Novice).

Friday 03/28 at Power Plant Gym: 7:30-9am, 4-6pm

Saturday 03/29 @ Gage Strength Training: 7:30-8:30am

Spectators are free!

Event Descriptions

Farmers & Duck Walk Medley: Athlete has 60 seconds to carry farmers handles 30ft down, then immediately duck walk carry 30 ft back. Fastest time wins. Front of each implement must cross the line. Unlimited drop and re-pick is allowed within the 60 seconds. No swinging of the duckwalk implement, nor sliding of the farmers is permitted. There will be a 2 second penalty for swinging/sliding. If the event is not completed, distance will be measured. The farmers handles are top-loaded MB Power Center 45lb handles and will be loaded with plates. Duck walk is a Rogue loading pin with 45lbs plates. Pick heights will be set for the entire class (not adjusted to the individual athlete). Athlete will begin with hands off the implement. 

Equipment Allowed: belt, knee sleeves, elbow sleeves, wrist wraps, chalk (liquid or powder).

Equipment NOT Allowed: NO grip shirts, nothing sticky, no suits/briefs (neoprene are fine, but no single-ply or multi-ply), no gloves, no straps, and absolutely no tacky.

Sandbag to Shoulder for Max Weight: Athlete will have six sandbags lined up and may choose to shoulder any combination of bags in any order. The heaviest weight that is successfully shouldered will be counted. Athlete must have feet on a straight line with  knees and hips locked out. The bag must be completely on the shoulder with the hand opposite of shouldered side off of the bag. Athlete must wait for a down command. Score and placement are based ONLY on the heaviest bag lifted. Athlete has 60 seconds, and a rep will count if it is initiated before the time limit. So the bag must be off the ground, but the athlete doesn't need to receive a down command before time in order for the rep to count. There will be no split times and no points awarded or ties broken based on number of attempts or any other criteria. All bags will be Cerberus bags filled with sand and/or rubber mulch.

Equipment Allowed: belt, knee sleeves, elbow sleeves, wrist wraps, chalk (liquid or powder).

Equipment NOT Allowed: NO grip shirts or grip shorts, no gloves, nothing sticky, no suits/briefs (neoprene are fine, but nothing single-ply or multi-ply).

Lever Deadlift: Athlete will complete a series of six deadlifts on a lever apparatus for fastest time within a cap of  60 seconds. If the entire series is not completed, scoring will be based on the number of reps completed. No split times will be taken. Athlete must wait for a “down” command and control the implement to the floor before moving on to the next handle. Dropping the implement will result in a no-rep. Dropping it more than once will result in a zero for the event. The weight listed below shows the amount loaded on the pin, and the lowest and highest estimated weight in hand. We’ll be training the implement at Power Plant Gym during Strongman Saturdays if you want to test it out! Any strapping in is on the athlete’s time. Hands must start off the implement. Athlete must receive a down command before time runs out in order for a rep to count.

Equipment Allowed: belt, knee sleeves, elbow sleeves, wrist wraps, chalk (liquid or powder), straps (figure-8 or regular)

Equipment NOT Allowed: no hook-style straps or grips, NO grip shirts or grip shorts, nothing sticky, no suits/briefs (neoprene are fine, but nothing single-ply or multi-ply).

Circus Dumbbell for Max Reps with Trump Weight: Athlete will clean and press the circus dumbbell as many times as possible in 60 seconds. Between every rep, part of the dumbbell must touch the ground (the actual ground, not just the mat in front of the bell). Athlete must wait for a down command from the judge for each rep. In order to receive a down command, athlete must demonstrate control of the CDB & full lockout with feet on a straight line; and knees, hips, shoulders, and the dumbbell all in alignment with elbow fully locked out. Athlete must control the CDB back to the ground. A drop from the top will result in a no-rep. More than one drop from overhead will result in a zero for the event. Drops MUST be onto the provided mat. Athlete may use two hands to get the dumbbell to the shoulder, but the second hand must not be touching the dumbbell during any part of the press. Touching the dumbbell with both hands during the upward press will result in a no rep. Athletes will have two dumbbell weights to choose from. Any reps completed on the heavier CDB will beat any number of reps on the lighter CDB. Athlete may move from the heavy CDB to the light CDB. If a successful attempt is made on the heavier bell, the reps on the lighter bell become irrelevant and won't be used to break ties. Athlete must receive a down command before time runs out in order for a rep to count. Women's dumbbells will be two 10 inch bells. Men's dumbbells will be a 10 inch and a 12 inch bell.

Equipment Allowed: belt, knee sleeves, elbow sleeves, wrist wraps, chalk (liquid or powder). 

Equipment NOT Allowed: NO grip shirts or grip shorts, no gloves, nothing sticky, no suits/briefs (neoprene is fine, but not single-ply or multi-ply).

Beer Can Arm Lift for Max Weight: Using Wessels rules, athletes will have a max of three attempts to reach a max weight on a single arm deadlift with a beer can hold. Specific jumps pending testing, but expect jumps to be limited to specific weights. Can must be grasped around, not under, and must be done with one arm (you can pick which one). We will follow a rising “bar” auction-style format, and athletes may skip weights if desired, but must inform the judge or group leader. The implement is a standard 12in plate loadable pin with a concrete filled 2SP Brewing beer can as the handle (the same ones we used at Beer Muscles). Athlete will have a maximum of 30 seconds to complete a lift. Lift is complete when the implement is lifted off the ground and the athlete has knees locked, hips fully open, and shoulders stacked over the hips. Athlete must wait for a down command, and the implement must be controlled back to the floor. Athlete must receive a down command before time runs out in order for a rep to count. A (non grip-related) drop will result in a no-rep. Multiple drops will result in a zero for the event. Once an athlete is unable to lift a weight, they are finished, irrespective of how many attempts they have made thus far. Scoring will be based on heaviest successful lift and not contingent on the number of attempts made.

Equipment Allowed: belt, knee sleeves, elbow sleeves, wrist wraps, chalk (liquid or powder). 

Equipment NOT Allowed: NO grip shirts, nothing sticky, no suits/briefs (neoprene is fine, but nothing single-ply or multi-ply), and no straps (not that they’d do you any good anyway).
