Welcome to round four of Down With The Thickness: Too Thick, Too Furious. 

All athletes will need to weigh in. No exceptions. Weigh ins will be Saturday 19 October from 7:00 AM until 1:00 PM as well as on Sunday 20 October from 7:00AM until 9:00 AM. 

Rules meeting will be on 20 October starting at 9:00 AM. We encourage all athletes to show up at Granite Barbell by 8:30 to ensured you are checked in and weighed in. If there are any issues, please contact Katie Carlino.

CDB AND LOG MEDLEY: Athletes will have 60 seconds to complete as many rounds cleaning and pressing first the circus dumbbell, then cleaning and pressing the log. The athlete with the most rounds completed wins. If an athlete does a rep with the CDB and time runs out before they can complete a log rep, they will get a half point for the CDB. I.E. 3 full rotations with both gets 3 reps on the scoreboard, 3 full rotations and the CDB gets 3.5 reps on the scoreboard.
AXLE DEADLIFT: Athletes will have 60 seconds to deadlift as many reps as possible. A repetition will only count when the judge gives the "Down" command. Allowed: Suits, straps, figure 8 wraps, chalk, liquid chalk, hitching and/or ramping. Not allowed: Sumo deadlifting, bouncing the bar off the ground, tacky, and/ or tacky towels.
HUSSEFELT CARRY: On the command of "GO" athletes will load and walk/run their hussefelt down 50 ft. Mats will be by the finish line, please attempt to set the hussefelt down on the mats or set on the ground in a controlled manner. Do not throw the hussefelt down, if any spotter/ staff/ bystander/ competitor/ dog/ or cat is injured by you losing control and throwing the implement at the end of your run your event will be zeroed and you will be thrown out of the competition.
CARRY AND LOAD MEDLEY: On the command of "GO" the clock will start and the athlete will pick up first the sandbag, run it down a 50 ft run, and load over a yoke. They the athlete will run back and get the keg, run 50ft and load over the yoke. The farmers handles will be next to the yoke where the athlete will carry and run back to the starting point to finish the run. The fastest time wins.
HERCULES HOLD: Everyone's favorite finisher is back and will be heavier than ever. Handles will be given to the athlete, standing in the middle of the Hercules Hold Impletment. Upon ensuring that they are ready to support the weight, athletes will be asked if they are ready, and upon confirmation with the judge, will be given a command of "GO." IF YOU ARE NOT READY TELL THE JUDGE. Once the "GO" command is given the clock will start and athletes will hold the implements as long as they can. When athletes are ready to quit, they will tell the judge, who will have spotters grab both sides and time will stop. The athlete with the longest time will win the event. 
We are looking forward to this event and seeing athletes kick ass once again. Any questions regarding this competition please contact Katie Carlino at carlinok92@gmail.com or message the FB or Instagram page of Granite Barbell.
