A Strongman Corporation membership can be bought on the day of weigh ins. If you do not currently have a Strongman Corporation membership and have no plans to compete in a Strongman Corporation event before this competition, I recommend waiting until the day of weigh ins to purchase it.

****Events and Rules:****

Farmers Carry Drag Race - Two Lengths of 50ft ascending weight

Event will be run in two lanes. Athletes will start between one set of Farmer’s handles, behind the starting line, with hands on the implement, grip taken. An overall timekeeper will blow a whistle to start your 60 second time limit; however, each individual lane will have its own judge/timer. Once the time starts, athlete will pick up the farmer’s implements and proceed towards the opposite end line. You must have BOTH implements break the end line before this length is considered finished and you can proceed to the second set of farmer’s implements. If you drop the handles during the length of the floor (either direction), pick them up and continue working towards the opposite endline at your own pace. The floor will be a rubber platform so sliding should not be an issue. Once you complete the first length of the floor, you will then pick up the second set of farmer’s implements and proceed back to the start line where you began. Again, repicking if/as needed. The front of both implements must cross the finish line to stop your time. Your score will be a completion time or distance. Please note that the start line will be alternating from athlete to athlete to help in reset times. False start will result in a 5 second penalty OR 5 feet penalty, if you are unable to complete the course.

Wrist wraps, knee sleeves, elbow sleeves and belts are allowed. Tacky/tack cloth is not allowed.

Max Log Clean No Press– Rising Log

You get three attempts. The log will go up in 10lb increments. The log will only go up, never down. If you have to go back to back, you will be given 90 seconds to rest between attempts.

On the start command, the athlete will have 30 seconds to complete their rep. Down command will be given by the judge once they see that you are completely upright and in control. We want to see that you are completely stable and in a pressing position. If the legs have not become completely stable or the log is shifting side to side, you will not be given a down command.  Do your best to control the log back down to the floor. You have 30 seconds to attempt the weight. If you fail during the 30 seconds, you may re-attempt the weight within the time limit.

Women and novice will be using a 12in pitbull log.

Open and master's men will be using 12in log from 200-280, 13in log from 290-360, 14in log from 370+.

Wrist wraps, grip shirts, knee sleeves, elbow sleeves and belts are allowed. Tacky/tack cloth is not allowed.

Deadlift Ladder

Athletes will have a 90 second time limit to complete as many rungs of the ladder as possible. If all rungs are completed, the completed time will be your score. We are taking split times.  

Athlete will start at the start line. Once the start command is given, the athlete will proceed to the first bar and complete a deadlift. Once the down command is given, athlete will proceed to the second bar. This is repeated until all rungs of the ladder are completed or there is no time remaining. You must go in ascending order. No changing of the order of bars is allowed.

Down command will be given by the judge once they see that you are completely locked out and in control. We are looking for solid lockouts. Down command will not be given if your knees and hips are soft or if you aren’t able to stand fully erect with the shoulders back. Dropping the bar from lockout will result in a failed lift. Do not drop the bar, do your best to control it back down to the floor. Hitching is allowed.

Overhead Medley

Athletes will have 75 seconds to complete the medley. If all implements in the medley are completed, the completed time will be your score. We are taking split times. You can go in any order of the implements that you wish. You can split jerk, push jerk, or push press as long as your feet are together and your head is through when the weight is locked out. Down commands will not be given unless you are completely stable.
