Welcome back to the Tri-Cities Strongman Showdown!!!

We have five events lined up to test athletes this year.

Max Barbell Press from Rack-  

This is a 3 attempt max rising bar.  Athlete will have 30 seconds to complete a successful attempt.  Athletes will receive a lift command and time will start.  Athlete will un-rack the barbell on the lift command.  A successful attempt will require the athlete to have elbows locked and feet square.  Athletes will then be given a good lift command and must successfully re-rack the barbell for the lift to count.  Any drops other than a safety issue will result in a no lift.  Belt, wrist wraps, and elbow sleeves only.  Chalk only.

Deadlift Medley- 

Athletes will attempt to lift four implements in succession (Axle, Barbell, Deadlift Bar and Frame).   Athletes will have 60 seconds to complete all four lifts.  At the start command the athlete will advance on the first implement to lift.  Each successful lift will receive a down command before the athlete may advance to the next lift.  Fastest time to complete all lifts wins.  Straps, belts, and knee sleeves allowed.  No bare feet allowed. No suits or briefs.  Chalk only.

Farmers Walk-
