 Per Strongman Corp Approval, we are allowed the opportunity to work with Weigh It Out plates, calibrated within 1/10lb. So this is a go! It's a MAX RAW deadlift. No suits or briefs, but compression shorts are allowed. We will run 4 lanes, one for each weight class.

There will be two stone platforms, heights will be 45",50",55",45",42" - the platforms will be uniquely representing the peak of a mountain. Instead of the traditional descending platform, the platforms will ascend to the "peak" then descend. Stone weight will still ascend as usual. However keep in mind what would normally be a lighter stone at the highest platform - will in this case be a slightly heavier stone at the "peak" of the stone series. With the heaviest stone at the end at the series. Both athletes will start on the left side of the platforms.  Split times will be taken.
