ZERCHER

To successfully complete a zercher lift, athlete must stand up completely extended with a barbell in the crux of their elbows. Hips and knees must be locked out with chest up and shoulders back; like a deadlift but with a barbell in the elbows. The athlete can choose to pick the bar up from the floor in the elbows, OR, deadlift to the knees, "lap" the weight, adjust the bar to the elbows, and squat up from there.

LOG

Log must reach a fully locked out position with arms extended, and head through. Athlete can complete the log repetition in any way (press, jerk, viper, etc).

Athlete CANNOT rest log on their head then press up from there.

Free fall dropping the log after a rep will DQ athlete from the competition.

All equipment allowed: belts, grip shirt, wraps, straps, etc.

Athlete MUST wear shoes.

Deadlift

Athlete must finish the lift by standing tall with hips and knees extended, with shoulders back and chest through.

Strongman rules apply: hitching, ramping, etc are all legal.

Bar must be lowered under control after a successful lift, NO DROPPING from the top.
