This contest will have a cash prize for the USS Pro Division. To qualify for the USS Pro International, there will need to be a MINIMUM of 6 Athletes, the Pro Division on competition day.

We will have a food truck on the day (TBD).

Weigh in's will be Friday Sept. 12 from 8am-11am and from 4pm-7pm @ Chop Barbell.

The Events on the Day are:

AXLE CLEAN AND PRESS- Last Man Standing:

Athletes will be given 3 attempts, Wessel Rules apply (the athlete gets a max of 3 attempts, and a missed lift results in elimination. So if you miss your first lift you get a zero for the event). You will have 30 seconds to hit your weight. Judge will give a start and down command. VIDEO REPLAY will be at the discretion of the promoter.

Allowed Equipment: Belt (1 hard,1 soft (NO BUILT UP), Elbow sleeves (a compression cuff can take the place of an elbow sleeve- YOU CANNOT COMBINE the 2) , Wrist wraps, Knee Sleeves, Neoprene Shorts, Lifters, Mouthpiece, GRIP SHIRT (without StrongCorp logo).

DEADLIFT LADDER:

Athletes will be given 60 seconds to complete as fast as possible. The athletes will start 10 feet away from the first implement. They will lift and wait for a down command from the judges before advancing to the next weight. Athletes cannot skip. Once given the down command, the athlete can advance. Athletes CANNOT DROP the weight. You must control it down, Dropping will force a NO LIFT and you will be required to re pull the weight.

SANDBAG/KEG TOSS:

Time splits will be taken. Athletes cannot take more than 1 implement at a time. Doing so will result in a ZEROED event.
