STATIC MONSTERS is coming to Texas Iron Republic!

2022 Static Monsters Worldwide is going down at Texas Iron Republic on October 29. Your best Log and Deadlift will give you a worldwide ranking and a chance to qualify for Static Monsters Championship! The Worlds Largest Competition allows athletes from every nation, and every walk, to compete against each other on a worldwide scale. This year we added a third event (Thor Hammer Hold) to make this a USS Sanctioned event and to give athletes a chance to qualify for The 2023 United States Strongman Nationals.

Weight classes for Static Monsters and weight classes for USS Sanctioned Events are different.  The Static Monsters classes are listed below.  Your signup class is your USS Class.

Weight classes may be combined if there are not enough competitors to qualify for nationals.  This will not effect Static Monsters classes.

We will be doing prizes & Trophies for First Overall Male and First Overall Female athletes!

You must be signed up 2 weeks before contest to guarantee a shirt.

Medals for all other classes!
