Event Rules and Weights are Subject to Change

All Max Load Events will be in a Rounds Format. Flights will be established by weight class but this may change as the event gets closer so be sure to check your emails from us.

Event 1: Turkish Get Up

Competitors will warm up as needed and will then have 3 attempts at whatever weights they choose to accomplish a good rep. You will have 60 seconds to attempt the lift. If you miss the lift it is a failed attempt and you can retake the same weight or go up in weight.

We are testing the Turkish Get Up to the standing position only. After you are standing with the kettlebell locked out above your head you will get a down command. At that point you will return the kettlebell to the ground. Do your best to control the descent. If you need to drop for safety that will be permitted. Any intentional slamming will result in a no lift.

These are balls. They will roll. Don't kill anyone.

If the competitor's arm bends excessively, the kettlebell hits the ground, a second hand touches the kettlebell after the initial press, or the bell goes down before the down command, it will result in a no lift.

Event 2: Attitude Iron Max Mace 360

Competitors will warm up as needed and will then have 3 attempts at whatever weights they choose to accomplish 3 reps on whichever side they desire. You will have 60 seconds to attempt the lift. If you miss the lift it is a failed attempt and you can retake the same weight or go up in weight.

The implement cannot touch the ground and there will be no dragging across the body allowed. If either of these occur you will forfeit your attempt. You can retake the same weight on your next attempt or move up in weight for your next attempt. Competitors are permitted to rest the mace on their body between reps. There will also be some allowance for touching the front delt when finishing a rep. This will be at the judges discretion.

Attitude Iron Adjustable Maces will be provided for use.

Event 3: Single Arm Kettlebell Clean to Overhead

Competitors will warm up as needed and will then have 3 attempts at whatever weights they choose to accomplish a good rep. You will have 60 seconds to attempt the lift. If you miss the lift it is a failed attempt and you can retake the same weight or go up in weight.

Competitors will perform a single OR double handed Kettlebell Clean to the shoulder/upper chest, then get the kettlebell to an overhead position. Strict press, push press, push jerk, split jerk, or squat jerk are all allowable. Bent press and side presses will not be permitted.

Event 4: Freedom Strength Co Sandbag to Shoulder

Competitors will warm up as needed and will then have 3 attempts at whatever weights they choose to accomplish a good rep. You will have 60 seconds to attempt the lift. If you miss the lift it is a fail and you can retake the same weight or go up in weight.

Competitors will start with the sandbag on the ground. From there they must pick the bag and get it to their shoulder. Once at the shoulder they must hold it in place with only one arm until a down command is given. At that point the bag can be dropped.

If the bag hits the ground after it is lapped or a bona fide attempt is made the attempt will be marked as a miss. If the bag is dropped before the down command the lift will be a miss.

Event 5: Adex Club Mill

Competitors will use a weighted club based on their weight class. They will have 60 seconds to complete as many reps as possible.

Competitors will be permitted to set the club down to regrip if needed.

Athletes can go the same direction or switch sides as desired.

Event 6: Adex Club Hold

Competitors will stand in place while holding a club in front of them. Arms must stay as straight as possible. Arms must stay parallel to the floor.

Time starts when the judge determines a correct start position. Time stops when arms fall below parallel.

If arms start to drop below parallel the judge will give one warning. On the second violation time will be stopped

Chalk is allowed.

In event of a tie, we have a mystery event in store for you
