Power Bar Deadlift

60 Seconds, Max Reps. Athletes are allowed to strap in before time starts

ALL reps must be dead stopped. Athletes will receive a "Down" command upon each lockout

Hitching allowed. Suits allowed for PRO division only.

Sandbag Pyramid

This event is scored by sandbag to shoulder reps.

TWO MINUTE TIME LIMIT

Athlete will begin standing over the bag (you can orient it any direction that you want at the start) and shoulder the bag ONE time into a 25’ carry. Then, athlete will drop the bag after the line and shoulder the bag TWO times, followed by a 25’ carry.

This pattern repeats infinitely until time limit (2 minutes)

1 Shoulder —> 25’ carry —-> 2 shoulders —-> 25’ carry back to start —-> 3 shoulders —--> 25’ carry back to start —--> 4 shoulders —--> 25’ carry —--> 5 shoulders —--> 25’ carry back to start

Etc etc

Athlete can begin the carry once a good rep is called on the shoulder. Standard rules apply - bag on shoulder with opposite side hand out to demonstrate control. On the carry, athletes can carry with both hands on the bag. Athlete and bag must be completely behind the line on each side to begin the next round of shouldering.

IF bag is dropped midway through the carry, the bag does not have to be shouldered upon pickup - any carry method is allowed.

All reps completed count as a point. If an athlete is in the round of 5, but only completes 2 reps, their score will be 2+4+3+2+1 = 12.

No sticky material of any kind allowed. Chalk, grip shirts, sleeves, belts and all other supportive equipment allowed. NO deadlift suits or briefs (why you should even ask about this is beyond me but every year there’s always one person that asks).

Cerberus Dinnie Carry

Athletes will carry cerberus dinnie rings as far as possible within 75 seconds. There will be 50 foot lengths. Only one foot must cross the end lines before athletes return the other direction. UNLIMITED DROPS.
