You must have a Strongman Corporation membership card to compete!!! Buy yours here: https://strongmancorporation.com/contest-licence-1/

PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT CLASS YOU ARE SIGNING UP FOR. Novice classes are for new athletes. If you have EVER competed Open, you are not eligible to compete Novice. If you have ever podiumed in a Novice class, you are no longer eligible for Novice. If you have competed Novice three times and still haven't podiumed, that sucks but it's still time to go Open. The weights depicted are the MAXIMUM WEIGHT for that class. For example, if you sign up for MWM (231.4-), that means you must weigh in UNDER 231.4. Please email or call me if you're unsure what class to sign up for!

Every athlete must weigh-in, regardless of their class. Weigh-ins will be available at The Barn Gym 3/08/24 from 9:00am-12:00pm and 5:00pm-7:00pm, and the morning of (3/09/24) from 8:00am-8:45am. The rules meeting will be at 9:00 and the competition will start at 9:30.

Details on accommodations, food, drink, parking, etc. will be added when they're nailed down.

Max Axle Clean & Press *RECORD BREAKER*

3 attempts, Wessel's rule. 10lb jumps for women, 20lb jumps for men. All weights over 165lbs will be from a 13" pick height on Rogue 26er wagon wheels. When the weight reaches 225lbs, we will be switching from the hollow Rogue axle to a solid steel axle. OPENING WEIGHTS SUBJECT TO CHANGE. On the judge's command, you will have 60 seconds to clean the axle from the ground and lock it out overhead. Belt cleans are allowed. Zercher squat cleans are allowed. Strict press, push press, squat jerk, split jerk, are all allowed. You will get a "down" command when your elbows are locked out, your head is through, and your feet are together. No resting the axle on your head. WAIT FOR THE DOWN COMMAND. If you do not wait for the down command or you drop the axle from overhead, we will no-rep you. This event is a Strongman Corporation Amateur national record breaker. Belt cleans are allowed in our competition, but if you're going for a national record, you may not belt clean.

Equipment allowed: belts, sleeves, grip shirts, chalk, gloves

Equipment not allowed: tacky, tacky towels, spray tacky, elbow wraps

The Weight Room Deadlift Medley for Time

9" axle, 9" power bar, 9" deadlift bar, 18" axle. No split times; get all 4 as fast as you can or be scored on reps 0-3. There is a 60 second time limit. Start with your hands off the first bar (strap in on your own time). You will get a "down" command from your judge when they feel you are sufficiently locked out. IF YOU DO NOT WAIT FOR THE DOWN COMMAND, WE WILL NO REP YOU. Hitching and ramping are allowed. This event is brought to you by our friends at The Weight Room in Richmond, VA. 

Equipment allowed: Suits, briefs, bowties, straps, belts, sleeves, and wraps

Equipment not allowed: tacky, tacky towels, spray tacky

Max Distance Frame Carry 90 seconds

Drop and repick at 50'. Drops between are allowed. We want to see you suffer for the entire 90 seconds! The front of the implement must cross the line before the athlete can change directions. Pick height for all men's classes is about 22" on a custom made frame. Women's classes will use a custom wooden frame with about an 18" pick height. 

Equipment allowed: belts, sleeves, suits, briefs, bowties, wraps

Equipment not allowed: straps, tacky, tacky towels, spray tacky, gloves

Circus Dumbbell Max Reps (with Trump Weight)

Details on type/size of dumbbells will be released soon. You will have 60 seconds to complete as many reps as possible. There will be two dumbbells on the platform. One rep on the heavier dumbbell is worth more than any number of reps on the lighter dumbbell. If you attempt the trump dumbbell and miss, you may still try the lighter dumbbell. You will get a down command from your judge when the dumbbell is locked out and stabilized. The dumbbell must come back to the ground/crashpad after each rep. 

Stone Over Bar (last man standing)

48" load height for women, 52" for men. Once you come in, you must take every successive jump. 30 seconds to load. When you miss, you're out. Tacky allowed! We will release stone weight jumps as soon as we weigh all of our stones. To be clear, this is not a max rep event with one weight. The stone will get heavier with each round.
