EVENTS:

Max Axle Clean and Press 

Keg Carry and Load Medley

Sandbag to Shoulder for Reps

Deadlift Ladder 

Fingals Fingers Series 

Max Axle Clean and Press

The 2" axle will begin at 75# for females, 120# for males. Bar will increase in weight by 10# for females, 20# for males. Wessels rules apply - 3 attempts to secure a max clean and press. Jump in anywhere, skip attempts as desired to get to your ideal weight. You will have 30 seconds to press the axle overhead after the bar is loaded and your name is called. If you do not complete the lift in your time limit, your remaining attempts are forfeit. The bar may be strict pressed, push pressed, snatched or jerked, but you must bring your feet back together under your shoulders and have the bar under control for a down command. The bar may be dropped from overhead. Wrist wraps, sleeves, one belt okay. Belt cleans are fine with me. Let's set some huge presses!

Keg Carry and Load Medley

This is a 4 keg series, progressing from lightest to heaviest, in 75 seconds. The athlete will carry each keg 20' from the starting line and load over a yoke. Drops and regrips permitted. Belts, wraps, sleeves, vet wrap/tape okay. No tacky or sticky spray or tacky towels. 

Sandbag to Shoulder for Reps

Athlete will have 60 seconds to attempt max reps of sandbag to shoulder. A successful lift ends with the ref giving a down command. The sandbag may be dropped from the shoulder. Athletes may switch shoulders as desired. Belts, gloves, grip shirts, and chalk allowed. No tacky or sticky stuff.

Deadlift Ladder

60 seconds. 4 Barbells set up in a series. Athletes will lift in ascending weight. Each rep will require a down command from the ref to be counted. Fastest time wins. Straps and Chalk allowed. No Suits, no sumo stance.

Fingals Fingers

60 seconds. The athlete will flip their Fingal's Fingers from lightest to heaviest. Split times will be recorded to determine placing if the athlete does not complete the series.
