Strongman takes the stage again with festive feats of strength at the historic Majestic theater! Built over 100 years ago, the former vaudeville theater will now be home to 4 silly strongman events bursting with Christmas cheer! (Plus food and drinks to make a full day of merriment.)

Events

Reindeer Gainz Viking Press

Sure, the reindeer are magic, but they still need a boost to fly. That’s where you come in. You’ll Viking Press those guys as many times as possible in 60 seconds. Handles will be 24” apart, parallel/neutral grip, and you’ll be facing the implement. Knee wraps, wrist wraps, and belts are fine. In the spirit of giving, double dips will be allowed. Once you start, you will not be allowed to set the implement down.

Sleigh Squat

Time to test out Santa’s sleigh, and make sure it’s rooftop-ready! The sleigh will be on a frame behind you, you’ll start in the top position, and have weight added after each of your first 3 reps. Once you reach the top weight, you can rep it out for the rest of the 60 seconds. This will just be for reps, no split times taken. Knee sleeves are wraps are fine, no squat suits, groove briefs, or jet packs.

Mega Marshmallow Toss

Santa has a big job, so he needs a big cup of cocoa! Your job is to toss three giant marshmallow sandbags over the candy cane bar to get his mug filled with the sugar he needs to fuel his journey. Split times will be taken, you’ll have 60 seconds to get all three mega mallows over the bar. (10 feet high for women, 12 feet for men) The marshmallows are made from sea bags and laundry bags. They do not have handles (like marshmallows), but you can grab up the extra fabric to hold on to them. Gloves are allowed.

Ho Ho Hold On

It’s a Hercules Hold! But Christmas themed! We’ll update with details once the equipment is made. We hope to have it finished early in the year so it can be tested and trained with. No straps or tacky.

This contest is sanctioned by United States Strongman, and is a qualifier for 2026 Nationals.

If you’re new to our Christmas contests: Yes, these are seriously the events. You don’t have to use your imagination, there’s an actual sleigh LOL You can find photos and videos of previous Christmas comps on our social media pages, and we’ll post event updates there as well.
