Events:

Last years format of push/pull was well received so we are sticking with it. I am also pleased to announce that the scoring and  logistics  bugs got worked out.  In summary, a Strongman athlete cannot be trusted to recognize powerlifting norms.

This is a push/pull event on both disciplines. 

Entry fee covers participation in both disciplines, but participation in both is not required. 

Powerlifting

The Powerlifting portion will be bench press and deadlift.

Bench Press - Standard USPA rules apply. No singlet required, elbow sleeves and wrist wraps allowed for bench. Opening weights given at weigh in. Next attempt must be called immediately after completion of previous attempt. 

Deadlift - Standard USPA rules apply. No singlet required, Deadlift will be on a Texas Deadlift Bar. No suits or straps. Chalk/belt/wrist wraps only. If you want to be an idiot and wear knee sleeves to pull, go for it.Opening weights given at weigh in. Next attempt must be called immediately after completion of previous attempt. 

Strongman

The Strongman portion will be as follows:

-Wagon Wheel (13”) deadlift. Wessell’s Rules. Straps, belt, chalk allowed. No suits. “If Jerry Pritchett aint using a suit, neither am I”-Alan Colley circa 2021 A.D. Opening weights given at weigh in. Next attempt must be called immediately after completion of previous attempt.

-Max Log Clean & Press. Wessell’s Rules. Men will use a 12” log, women will use a 10” log. Log will start on the floor and must be cleaned. Opening weights given at weigh in. Next attempt must be called immediately after completion of previous attempt.
