Event 2 - Deadlift

Option 1 - Circus Dumbbell Single Hand Deadlift

The lightest pair is worth one point each, the middle pair is 10 points each and the heaviest pair is worth 100 points each. 

For example - If an athlete lifts both 40LB dumbbells that is worth 2 points. If an athlete lifts one 80LB dumbbell that is also worth 10 points. The athlete may go up and down the ladder as needed, meaning if an attempt on the 140LB fails, the athlete may go back to the 80LB or 40LB dumbbells. A rep will count when the athletes hips are locked out. The dumbbell may be lifted in the front or side of the athlete. The athlete must follow the dumbbell back down to the ground.
