RULES:

Running Order

The log lift must always be before the deadlift when running the event.

Athletes are allowed to compete in only one of the events if they choose.

Scoring

Your final score is a combined total of your heaviest completed Log Lift and heaviest completed deadlift under the below rules.

The highest total in each division will be declared the winner.

If two totals are the same in any division, the competitor that weighed in the lightest will be declared the winner of that class. If however the competitors are listed as the same weight at the weigh-in, then it will count back to who had the heaviest log lift.

Athlete will still get a score even if they “Zero” one of the lifts.

The Log Lift

Spotter on Log Lift: if a spotter is on the log lifting event and they intervene with a lift, the log has to be reset to the ground for the lift to start again. If it is deemed that the log spotter stepped in too early, which can only be ruled by the judge, then the lifter can opt to have another 60 seconds added to their time then and there, or they can take this lift again at the end of the round of their flight. If the lifter chooses to continue during their current 60 seconds, they will not be allowed to take another 60 seconds after the round, if they fail during their current lift period.

WEIGHT CLASSES FOR STATIC MONSTERS

Competitors must weigh-in under their weight class as is it listed under 90kg, under 82.5kg, etc.
For example: if you weigh in 90.0kg you will be listed as under 105kg. If you weigh in as 89.9kg you will be listed as under 90kg. The same goes for pounds.
Every competitor, no matter which class (even opens) must weigh in, this is to adjust world rankings as there is regularly tie’s in Monster Totals.

ADAPTIVE RULES

1. **Standing: Male – Female Adaptive Static Monsters**
– Follow the rules outlined above.

2. **Seated: Male – Female Adaptive Static Monsters**
a. **Seated Deadlift**
– A regular flat gym bench is required, load-rated for the lifter’s weight combined with their planned maximum deadlift.
– Prone Row is also acceptable; the axle is needed, and athletes may use straps if desired.
– To judge the Prone Row, the bar must start from a full hang, be rowed to touch the underside of the bench, and then be lowered to a full hang again.

b. **Seated Log Lift**
– Minimum incline angle: 55 Degrees.
– No “rolling” the log into the rack position; it must start from a stationary position on the lifter’s rack. If the log is rolled into position, the safety bars are too high.

3. **Considerations for Adaptive Athletes (Referenced from the “Classes” Section)**
– For the standing division, participants must have a physical disability preventing them from safely handling weights in the open division or competing evenly against athletes without disabilities.
– In the seated division, athletes either have a physical disability requiring the use of a wheelchair or meet the physical criteria for the standing division but choose to compete in a wheelchair. For example, those with a prosthetic leg may choose either division based on the prosthetic limb’s condition.
– In the seated division, all athletes use the same wheelchair for events.
– In the neuro division, athletes must have cerebral palsy, spina bifida, MS, or a similar condition impairing optimal neurological function at a level disadvantaging them against someone with a fully functioning nervous system.
