EVENTS: 

Max Mouser Block Press

Natural Stone Carry and Load

Natural Frame Rising Deadlift 

Dinnie Stone Walk

Block Press

New for 2023! State Records Eligible on the Mouser blocks. Three attempts, Wessels rules. Athlete will have 3 attempts to set a max block press. Opening attempts will be taken at warm up. Athletes can choose when to jump in, and which attempts to take. If you miss a lift and are not on your third attempt, you may use a further attempt at that weight at the end of the flight before weight is added. However, the weight in the block will not be reduced once it has been loaded. Athletes will have 45 seconds to successfully press the block overhead and receive a down command. The block must be pressed overhead, showing control with elbows locked out and feet parallel (not staggered), to receive a down command. Strict press, push press, split jerk, all allowed as long as control is shown before the down command. Drops from the top are NOT allowed, you will return the block to the pad showing control or you will zero the event and not get further attempts. Females will take 10# jumps, males will take 20# jumps. The empty Mouser blocks weigh approximately 80# (ladies) and 120# (gentlemen). Belts, wrist wraps, elbow sleeves, grip shirts, chalk allowed. No tacky.

Natural Stone Carry and Load

Athlete will have 75 seconds to carry three stones 30 feet and load them onto a wooden barrel (roughly 34-36"). You may drop the stone and pick it up again en route, but points will not be awarded for distance covered - you must load the stone in order to receive a score. Tie breaker is total time. Belt, wrist wraps, elbow sleeves, grip shirts, chalk allowed. No tacky.

Natural Frame Rising Deadlift 

Athlete will pick up the frame and receive a down command once standing upright with all corners off the ground. Loaders will then add weight to the frame, and the athlete will receive an up command and have 10 seconds to complete the rep. Weight will climb in 20/30# increments for the ladies, and 40/50# for the males. No overall Time cap, highest weight wins. Belts, straps, wrist wraps, sleeves, chalk allowed. No gloves or sticky stuff.

Dinnie Stone Farmers Walk

Back for 2023! Athlete will have 45 seconds to cover a max distance with a stone on a ringed handle in each hand. The course will be a straight line, no turns. Go until you drop an implement. The weights listed are approximate, and the rings are 5" and 7" in diameter, with the bigger handle (generally) on the shorter of the two stones. The athlete may indicate which hand is their strong side preference, to take the heavier weight. Belts, chalk, shinguards, and hook grip allowed. No tacky, gloves, or straps.
