Athletes will have 60 seconds to clean and press as many reps as possible going back and forth between a log, and an axle. Athletes can start on the implement of their choice but must go back and forth between reps. On axle, belt cleans are allowed. Athletes can strict press, push press, push jerk, or split jerk the implements as long as they fully lockout the rep, feet are together, head is through and they get the down command from the judge. Athletes must control the weight down onto the crash pads. No tree topping. If you fail a rep, you must re clean and press the same implement before moving back to the other implement.

Equipment allowed: Sleeves, one soft belt, one hard belt, wrist wraps, and USS or cerebus grip shirts only. No Double sleeves.

Event 2: Deadlift Medley

Athletes will have 60 seconds to complete as many reps as possible. There will be a start line that athletes will start behind. On the whistle athletes will move to the axle and perform one deadlift. After receiving a down command athletes will then move to the barbell and perform one deadlift. After getting another down command athletes will then finish at the 13 inch wagon wheel deadlift where they will perform as many reps as possible before the 60 seconds is up. Athletes will have to strap in on their own time after the whistle. No touch and go reps on the wagon wheels, as there will be both up and down commands on the wagon wheel.

Equipment allowed: figure 8 straps, WOW straps, regular straps, soft belts, hard belt. NO SUITS, NO BRIEFS.

Event 3: Yoke Walk

Event 4: Death Medley

There will be 6 implements lined up on the start line with varying degrees of difficulty. Easiest will be on the left in ascending difficulty with hardest on the right. Athletes will have 60 seconds to pick and run ONLY 3 implements 50 feet each. Athletes will be able to pick and choose 3 of any of the 6 implements they would like. Each implement will have different points attached to it. The easiest will be worth 1 point, the hardest will be worth 6 points with the rest having point values between 2 and 5 points. If the athlete cannot complete an implement and drops it, they must try to re pick and carry said implement. No going back to a different one so please choose wisely. Times will not matter unless 2 or more athletes pick the same 3 implements in which case times will be taken.
