Event 1: Max Circus Dumbbell

• Women's bell will be 10". Men's bell will be 12"
• There will be a 60 second time limit from the time you step up the dumbbell
• 3 attempts, 60 seconds per attempt. Hop in where you see fit. Miss an attempt within your 60 second time limit, and you are out. So, choose your opener wisely!
• Once weight goes up, the weight will not go back down. Keep track of where we are, and stay near by
• Men will take 10 lb jumps. Ladies will take 5lb jumps. Starting weights will be an empty dumbbell for both men and women
• Lockout must be established by your judge. Ultimately, it will come to your judges discretion if the rep is good.
• No feet movement at all, and you must show control of the dumbbell
• Do NOT jump the down call
• Do NOT drop the dumbbell from overhead. Guide it down to the crash pads. If there is a safety concern present, and you have to bail out to avoid injury, that’s a different scenario. But, no intentional tree topping the dumbell.
• Shoes MUST be worn at all times

Equipment Allowed: knee/elbow sleeves, soft/hard belt, wrist wraps, grip shirts (no restrictions on brand), chalk/liquid chalk

Equipment NOT Allowed: any sort of tacky substance, no knee/elbow wraps

Event 2: Deadlift Ladder (Farmers, Axle, Deadlift Bar)

• There will be 3 implements in a line
• 60 second time frame
• You will start with hands on the first implement (you can strap into farmers for this event if you want)
• You will receive a start command where you can begin on the farmers
• Wait for a down command, and move onto the axle bar
• Wait for a down command, and move onto the deadlift bar
• Rep out the deadlift bar until the remainder of your 60 second time limit is through
• Touch and go will be allowed, but wait for the down call
• You will receive a down command for each and every rep on the last bar

Equipment Allowed: Straps, figure 8's, knee/elbow sleeves, soft/hard belt, wrist wraps, chalk/liquid chalk

Equipment NOT Allowed: No deadlift suits or briefs of any kind, no tacky substance of any kind, no knee/elbow wraps

Event 3: Death Medley 

(Sandbag/Yoke/Sandbag Carry to load)

Here's how this event will work. You will pick a sandbag, run it 30' down the course, once you cross the taped line, you will drop the bag, then turn and pick the yoke and run the yoke back down the 30' course. Must carry yoke on your back, no zerchering the yoke. Once the entire yoke has crossed the line, you will run back to the sandbag, pick it, run it back down the course and load it over the crossbar of the yoke. Whatever yoke height you decide, that will determine how high you are going to have to load the sandbag. Choose your height carefully! This course will have a 60 second time limit. Shouldering the sandbag is allowed. If you fail to get the sandbag over the crossbar and time runs out, you will get 1' not completed on the course. 
 

So for example a good ”completed“ run would look something like this -

90’ + 45.00 seconds

If you get allll the way to the end but do not load the sandbag over the crossbar, and time runs out, the score will look like this

89’ + 60.00 seconds

Get that bag over the crossbar and claim your points!

Equipment Allowed: knee/elbow seeves, soft/hard belt, wrist wraps, grip shirts (no restrictions on brand), gloves, chalk/liquid chalk

Equipment NOT Allowed: any sort of tacky substance, deadlift suits/briefs, no knee/elbow wraps

• You will start with your hands off of the farmers
• Once your start command is given, pick the farmers and go
• You will have 60 seconds to go as far as you can
• There will be a 30' taped off course. The only allowed drop area is past the taped line.
• You can only drop once the front of the farmers passes the line.
• You will turn around, repick and run back to the other line (only the front has to pass the line)
• If you drop it at any point INSIDE the taped off course, your time will stop, and measurement will be taken
• If you drop it before the starting line, you will be given 1 single re-pick
• If the farmers handles pass the starting line at all on the 1st or repick and you drop it, measurement will be taken accordingly
• Weight listed is weight per handle, not total weight
