Clash is BACK, baby! 

Calling all Strongwomen (again)! Let's all gather around and lift some heavy shit! Last year was such a blast that we've decided to give it another go. As before, we will be raising money for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. 

Farmers Carry:

Athletes will carry the farmers handles for as many laps (About 50ft) as possible within a 90 second time limit. Farmers handles will ONLY be allowed to drop at either end of one lap to turn and walk in the opposite direction. If the handles are dropped midway, the attempt ends. Score will be calculated by number of reps +distance if dropped midway. Think Worlds Strongest Man 2020 style. No straps or tacky are allowed. 

Deadlift Medley:

The athlete begins with a conventional deadlift, proceeds to an elevated deadlift, and finishes with a trap bar deadlift for reps until the end of 60 seconds. Straps and deadlift suits are allowed. 

Overhead Press Medley:

Athlete begins with keg clean and press, continues to a sandbag press, and ends with an axel bar clean and press. Kegs may be pressed double underhand or vipered. Axel bar can be belt cleaned/continental cleaned. Wrist wraps, elbow sleeves, knee sleeves allowed. 

Natural Stone Load:

Stones will be loaded onto a 46" platform. Athlete will have 60 seconds to get as many of the stones onto the platform as possible. The weight shown in the table are the starting stone weights, increasing by varied increments (yay, natural stones!). Knee sleeves, elbow sleeves are ok. No tacky allowed. 

Hercules Hold:

The athlete will grip two rings on either side of their bodies for as long as possible. That's it. Hold on and take a trip to the pain cave! For a great example, watch this: 

Same thing, but without the fancy af pillars. No straps or tacky allowed. 

Weigh-ins will take place on Friday, August 4th from 4 pm - 7 pm at Lake Washington Crossfit. If you absolutely cannot make it, we'll get ya in the morning before the comp. 

There will be a $10 spectator fee this year. Children 12 and under are free. 

Please reach out if you have any questions! 

Top 3 competitors from each open division will qualify for the 2024 USS Nationals.
