STATIC MONSTERS RULES

- Athlete nominates their opening attempt for both log and deadlift events at the time of checking for the event.

- Athlete cannot drop their nominated weight after a failed attempt or a completed attempt.

- No minimum weight increase. This is due to international events crossing over to lbs or kgs.

EVENT #1 (MAX LOG LIFT):

**The log press will be done is a rising bar fashion for each attempt. (1st attempt starts at the lightest weight and then slowly increases until we reach the highest opener, then back down to the lightest weight for the second attempt, and then the same for the third).

- Athlete will have 60 seconds to complete the lift after being given the go ahead from the judge. - The log must be controlled back to the ground. (No Throwing of the implement). The log does not need to be returned to the chest on the descent, only controlled to the ground. 

-Any dropped lift will result in a failed lift and will not count. If you are told your lift does not count, you may attempt it again providing you still have time within your allotted 60 seconds for that particular lift. 

- Each athlete has 3 attempts.

- Lift is completed when the judge calls “down”. To receive the “down” call, the lifter must have knees, hips and shoulders locked out and head “through”. 

- If the athlete successfully locks out a rep just before the buzzer but then drops the implement in an uncontrolled way, the rep will not count.

- Not allowed- Two belts, one above the other on the torso (equivalent to a stepped setup), is not allowed. A loop in the belt is not allowed. No tacky. No straps. The log cannot be rested on the top of the head during the lift. It may however be allowed to touch the head during the upward trajectory.

- Allowed- Chalk is allowed. Belts are allowed, an under belt and an over belt is allowed. The log can touch, bounce off, rest on the belt during the clean.
