Events
Log Clean and Press
60 seconds. Competitor must wait for DOWN command from judge. The log must touch the floor between each rep. Competitor must demonstrate control of the log at all times. No dropping the log from overhead. Chalk only, no tacky, no gloves, Grip shirts are ok.
We will tentatively be using a 10″ Pitbull log for women and a 12″ Pitbull log for men.
Mouser Block / Farmer’s Carry Medley
90 seconds. Competitor will carry a Mouser Block 60’ and place upright on a mat. The block can be standing up on the short or long side, but it cannot be flat on the ground (on the feet, logo facing up or down) and must be entirely on the mat. Competitor will carry the farmer’s implement back 60’ – time will stop when the front of the farmer’s implement crosses the line. Block cannot be rested on belt or shouldered.
Farmer’s implement will be a Rogue style handle.
4″ Deficit Axle Deadlift
60 seconds. Competitor cannot strap in until the time starts. There will be up and down commands. No deadlift suits.
Using Rogue or Titan Axles. Platform will tentatively be 3 feet wide.
Yoke Conan’s Carry
60’ for time, no drops. Yoke will be carried Conan/Zercher style. Time stops when the front of the yoke crosses. Competitor will get a distance if the course is not completed.
Using Rogue yokes.
Stone to Shoulder
60 seconds. Competitor must lift stone from ground, hold on shoulder (with 2nd hand off of stone) and wait for down command. Stone cannot be dropped from shoulder and must be controlled. Spray tacky is allowed – traditional tacky is not.
Concrete stones will be used.
Weight Matrix
Weights subject to change, especially if Nationals weights change and as we find out type of dumbbell and frame at Nationals.
The Log, Deadlift, and Stone to Shoulder have a second weight option. If you don’t get the first weight, you can try the second. Getting any reps on the first option is worth more than any number of reps on the second. Some of the weights were pretty crazy, this is to make it more accessible to strength athletes of all levels.
