Event 1: Log Clean and Press AMRAP

In this event, athlete's will be given 60 seconds to complete as many reps as possible. Standard Strongman commands will be given. This will be a floater event, meaning athletes will have the freedom to do this event on their own time throughout the day. Women will use a 10" Rogue Log and men will use a 12" Rogue Log.

Most reps in 60 seconds wins!

Event 2: Wagon Wheel Max Deadlift - Any Way

We are bringing back the Max Weight Mammoth Bar Deadlift this year! For some added fun, we will be using Wagon Wheels, and will be allowing Deadlifts ANY WAY (Conventional, Sumo, Jefferson...). Athletes will have ONLY three attempts total to lift the heaviest weight. The bar weight will be set and called out. Athletes will then have the choice to make an attempt at that weight or not. Starting weight and increase in weight per round are found below: 

Novice Women classes: 225lbs, +20/round

Open + Master's Women classes: 275lbs,  +20/round

Novice Men classes: 315lbs, +20/round

Open + Master's Men classes: 405lbs, +20/round

Heaviest weight lifted wins!

Event 3: Squat Ladder

This old school test of raw strength will be new to many. Four implements will be lifted as fast as possible with a 75 second time limit. In order we will have Steinborn Squat (full lift, returning the barbell to the floor Steinborn style), Sandbag to shoulder squat, Yoke Pick (*see below for a note on Yoke Height), and Anderson Squat. Below you will find the starting height for the Anderson Squat. 

Women's Bar height: 35"

Men's Bar height: 40" 

Fastest time wins!

Event 4: Death Race Yoke + Carry/Load Medley

This carry and load medley will be the ultimate test of endurance, Strongman style! Start training those legs to handle fatigue, because this is going to require some deep digging. All implements will begin on the starting line. Athlete's will begin set up under the Yoke, and on the start command carry the Yoke 40', running back for each of the FOUR implements to load over the crossbar of the Yoke. This event has a 120 second time limit. Expect Sandbags, Kegs, Shields, and Natural Stones waiting for you at the start line. Each implement must be carried in order of lightest to heaviest. Scoring will be for fastest time to completion, then by the number of successful implements loaded over the Yoke. Weights listed are: [Yoke, approximate implement weight range]

Fastest time wins!

*see below for a note on Yoke Height

Event 5: Bag Toss Over Bar

Four throwing bags will be placed 10' away from the cross bar. Athlete's will begin with a hand on the cross bar, and on the start command, begin throwing bags over the bar from lightest to heaviest. Women will be throwing to a 12' cross bar and men will have a 15' throwing height. Scoring will be first by time to completion, then by the number of bags successfully thrown over bar. 

60 second time limit. Fastest time wins!

*you will only be allowed ONE Yoke height for this entire show. This height you choose will be the same for the Yoke Pick in event 3 as well as the yoke carry + load over bar in event 4. Time to strategize! You will select this height during weigh-ins on Friday 3/8
