England's Strongest Gym

WELCOME A BRAND NEW CONCEPT.

The very first England's Strongest Gym will take place this year, 28th November, at The Unit, Colchester. 5 teams of 5 athletes, led by one English professional strongman, will compete over 6 disciplines. We let each gym choose a discipline (E.G. Deadlift) and then let YOU decide what variation of that event we should do. The events are as follows:

EVENT 1 - Axle Press Ladder - 110KG - 120KG - 130KG - 140KG - [150KG]

EVENT 2 - Safety Squat Bar Squat for Reps - 240KG [280KG]

EVENT 3 - Shield Carry for Distance - 150KG [180KG]

EVENT 4 - Farmers Carry (20m) - 140KG [160KG]

EVENT 5 - Stone Run - 100-180KG [120KG-200KG]

*PLEASE NOTE* - The weights given in brackets [EXAMPLE] are the weights that the professional athlete will need to use, should they compete in that event. The professional athletes are only allowed to compete in one event of the first 5. For example on the axle press ladder, the athletes do a run of 4 bars 110-140, the professional would need to do 5 bars, pressing an additional 150KG axle.

Athletes are allowed to compete in one event each, and then will ALL compete in a 6th event, a giant loading race with 5 implements (100-150KG), tag-style.

The Teams are as follows:

> Team Athlete Movement - Led by Ben Glasscock - Wearing Blue

> Team Haynes Strength - Led by Paddy Haynes - Wearing Purple

> Team Mayhem - Led by Dean Mason - Wearing Orange.

> Team Strength Asylum - Led by Joe Brown - Wearing Green

> Team Titans Lair - Led by Tom Place - Wearing Yellow

Spectator tickets will be released very soon by The Unit. Keep an eye out and save the date!!
