"Did we just become best friends?!?"

Coming back to make a second appearance is our Kid's Strongman Showdown! This competition is run side by side with our 3rd Catalina Strongman Mixer. Kids will compete in age groups (no gender or weight classes). Events include a log press for max reps using a custom built kid's log, a miniature kids harness truck pull, and sandbag over bar for max reps! An adult needs to stay with the kid, so if you're competing in the adult competition, please be sure there is an adult who can stay with your pint size competitor.

The Events:

Log Press: Max clean and press reps in thirty seconds. Each rep must go from the floor to locked out overhead using our custom built kid's log for weights under 65lb. The 65lb log will be an 8 inch CFF log. Any form of press is allowed (strict, power jerk, split jerk). No resting the log on your head.

Kid's Harness Truck Pull: Kids will be pulling a custom built miniature Mister Softee Truck (icecream not included) 50ft for best time. We will not be using a rope for assistance. Pending further testing, we may add additional weight for older age groups. We will measure distance if unable to complete a full run.  

Sandbag over bar: Athlete will load a sandbag over a bar for max reps. Athlete will have a max of 30 seconds to complete as many reps as possible. Athlete will stay on their side of the bar and the bag will be returned by volunteers. The athlete may not grab the bar. Athlete may not shoulder the bag to assist in loading. Bar height to be determined pending further testing, but bag weight is listed.
