 Event Rules

  1. Axle Clean and Press Last Person Standing

Athletes will line up with their weight class.  When the bar is ready athletes will have 20 seconds to clean and press the axle overhead for a single rep.  A completed rep will receive a down command from the judge and the athlete will then proceed to the back on the line.  If an athlete fails a rep, they will be eliminated.  The athlete who presses the heaviest weight wins the event.

All athletes will start with the opening weight and perform all weight jumps until eliminated.

Belts, wraps, sleeves, grip shirts and chalk allowed  

  • Farmers Carry

Athletes will line up behind the starting line.  When given the start command, they will have 60 seconds to complete the course.  Once the implement is picked up the athlete will have one drop.  Upon the second drop the athlete is eliminated.  To complete the course the entire implement must cross the finish line.

  • Deadlift Medley – Axle, Wagon Wheel, and Frame for Reps

Athletes will start at the axle.  When given the start command, they will deadlift the axle for a single rep. They can move to the next implement once given the down command by the judge.  The same for the next bar.  Once the athlete reaches the frame, they will deadlift for reps. The athletes will wait for a down command to get a completed rep.    Touch and go will not be allowed on the frame reps.  They will have 60 seconds in total to complete all the implements and get as many reps as possible on the frame.
