A. Mississippi Deadlift Championship

Standard height with deadlift bars. There is a 60 second time limit per attempt to complete a rep once given the start command. Only 3 attempts are allowed, if you fail a weight then you're out. Wessels rule applies.

We will request athlete’s openers at weigh-ins and adjust the lane starting weights accordingly. You won’t get to call your exact opener but this gives us an idea of what weights the lanes will begin with.

Athletes are allowed to strap in before the time starts.

Athletes must have knees, hips, and shoulders locked out before the head judge is allowed to give them the down command. The competitor MUST wait for the down command or a no rep will be given. The bar must stay in contact with the hands, not hang down to your fingertips with figure 8 straps.

Allowed: SUITS, Belts, chalk, sleeves, wraps, straps, figure 8’s, barefoot.

Not Allowed: dropping from the top, anything sticky.

B. Log clean and press for reps

Athletes will have 60 seconds to get as many reps as possible.

Athletes must have knees, hips, shoulders, and elbows locked out before the head judge is allowed to give them the down command.

The competitor MUST wait for the down command or a no rep will be given.

Equipment allowed: Grip shirts (no SC or OSG), grip shorts, wrist wraps, knee sleeves, elbow sleeves, elbow cuffs, one soft belt, one hard belt, and chalk.

Not allowed: tacky or anything sticky

C. Yoke Carry (55ft+55ft)

Athletes can start under the yoke. When time begins, they will pick the yoke and run/walk 55ft, drop the yoke, turn around, repick, then carry another 55ft.

You are allowed unlimited drops. You have 60 seconds to complete the course. There will be a 2 second slide penalty if you intentionally slide the yoke.

Equipment allowed: Chalk, grip shirt(no SC or OSG), elbow/knee sleeves, belts, and wrist wraps.

D. Sandbag/Shield Bag Loading Race

Three sandbags/shield bags loaded over a 46 inch yoke for men and 42 inches for women. Front and shoulder carry will be accepted. Time limit will be 90 seconds max. 30ft  from the start line to the loading area.

The bag cannot be dragged, flipped, pushed, or rolled, it must be carried. Bags must be picked from the ground. Lifters are not allowed to stack the bags in order to have a more favorable pick.

Equipment allowed: Gloves, belts, chalk, grip shirts (no SC or OSG), sleeves, wrist wraps

Equipment not allowed: Tacky or anything sticky.

E. Red Brick Record Breaker: Dinnie Hold

$100 CASH PRIZE IF A NEW RED BRICK RECORD IS SET!*

Athlete will select which weight to attempt. All women's classes will choose between 177/141 or 257/186 and all men's classes will choose between 302/231 or 412/321 (FULL DINNIE WEIGHT!)

Implements begin on the ground. The lifter then grips the handles either placing one on the right and one on the left side of the body; or, they may place one in front and one behind the body.

The Lifter will then pick the implements up vertically until both are completely off the ground. The lifter does not have to be fully erect or locked out in anyway. There is a 30 second time limit to make a successful lift.

The implements need to be entirely lifted from the ground. Hook grip is fine. The lift has ended once any part of either implement touches the ground. If you try the heavier option and IT DOES NOT BREAK THE GROUND then you can move to to an attempt on the lighter option.

Equipment allowed: Chalk, belts, knee sleeves, wrist wraps, elbow sleeves, tape.

Not Allowed: Tacky of any sort including tacky towels, lifting straps, hooks.

*Whoever sets the newest record with a given weight option for their classes gets $100 cash prize. This means there are only 4 possible winners for this because we only have 4 weight options. It’s not if Medford beats Jackson’s record but then Chance beats Medford, then someone else beats them and they all get paid. One cash prize for the actual new record holder. No, you cannot go for a record with multiple options. Once you break a given weight option off the ground and set it down, you’re done.
