EVENTS: 

Event 1: Axle Clean and Press Every Rep

Competitors will be called when “bar is loaded” may approach the platform. When given the whistle to begin, competitors will have 60 seconds to clean and press the axle bar for as many reps as possible in 60 seconds. 

Event 2: Loaded Merry Go Round

Competitors will start with hands on top of the merry go round tire implement. When given the whistle to begin, the competitor will run toward the first loading implement (~10 feet away) and pick to carry and load to the platform. Competitors will continue in this pattern until time stops or all 5 implements are loaded. 

Event 3: Last Standing Trap Bar Deadlift

Competitors will be called when the “bar is loaded” and approach the platform. When the “bar is loaded” call is made, competitors will be allowed to strap in to the bar and complete a lift with a down command. The setup will be a Giant Trap Bar with tires as the first load + applicable weight. Please do not email me and ask for the height. It will be a higher than regular height deadlift, - likely around 16-18 inches. Women’s bar loads will be 10s, 25s, 45s. Men’s bar loads will be 25s, 45s.
