Hampshire’s Strongest 2025

We are back this year for an even bigger event at Gladiator Fitness Camp, based at Petersfield Rugby Club.

This will be a weekend of strength with Hampshire's Strongest Novice/Masters on Saturday 23rd August 2025 and the full weight class Hampshire's Strongest on Sunday 24th August 2025.

U115kg is what I’ve chosen in order to bridge the gap between lighter classes and Opens.

Entries are first paid first serve. Entry is £47.50. Strictly no refunds - all entry fees go towards infrastructure for event!

Entry closes 31st July.

Timings:

23rd (Novices and Masters) - We will have athlete check-in from 7:30am, 9:15am we will have a rules briefing for the following events. The competition will start at 10am sharp.

24th (main competition) - We will have athlete check-in/weigh-in from 7am. 9:15am we will have a rules briefing for the following events. The competition will start at 9:45am sharp with the order throughout being Women’s U75/over 75kg, Men’s U90/U115/Opens.

WEIGH-INS will be on the day! From very early (7am) - keeps it fair for everyone.

Spectators will be allowed, with tickets available for £5 each. Kids under 5 are free entry. I will check if dogs are allowed at the club.

Deadlift For Reps (Trump Option)

Trump deadlift for reps - two weight options will be laid out for the competitor, with the aim to get as many reps in 60 seconds as possible. Any reps on the heavier option beats the lighter option. On Day 2 of the competition, you are allowed to wear a deadlift suit. We will be using DEADLIFT BARS.

NO FIGURE 8 STRAPS
60 sec time limit
once you have completed a rep on the heavy bar, you CAN go back down. There ARE separation reps on lighter bar (e.g. 220kg x2 and 190kg x3 beats 220kg x2 and 190kg x2!)
Any deadlift suit allowed on DAY 2 ONLY.
Talc allowed but must be applied away from athlete area/any rubber matting
Any chalk allowed, please allow liquid chalk to fully dry before touching the bars with it.
You will just be getting a "down" command, any bounced or touch and go reps will be disallowed by your ref.
Any hitching etc is fine we just want a good solid lockout.

Conan's Wheel

Conan's Wheel - a zercher front carry for max distance round a pivot point in a big circle. No time limit here just as far as you can go. It will be HEAVY. No set weights as we need to do some testing/everyone's setup will be different anyway.

no time limit
you will be allowed to re-pick ONCE if the Conan's goes nowhere or backwards on a first attempt.
we will follow you with a metre stick for your score.
You can stop at any time to breathe etc, as long as it doesn't drop
Chalk etc is fine
NO GRIP TOPS

Log Clean And Press For Reps

Log Clean and Press for Reps - 60 seconds to get as many reps as possible floor to overhead. Metal logs being used here.

60 second time limit
you'll get a "down" command only, once full lockout is achieved (arms locked, head through, legs stable)
13" logs for weights 50kg or above, 9" log for any weights below 50kg
NO GRIP TOPS
Any chalk is fine.
Any press style allowed, as long as it comes to a stable lockout.
If your log comes off the pads, you'll be required to put it back yourself before doing another rep.

Sandbag Steeplechase

Sandbag Steeplechase - two bags must be taken down a 20m course, loaded over a steeple in the middle and then taken to the endzone. The only twist here is that bag number 1 must be fully completed before running back to bag number 2 all within a 60 second time limit.

bags can be lifted in any way including shouldering
you can duck under or go round the steeple
there will be a line at the endzone where the bags have to be FULLY past it to count
each "portion" of the course will be split timed (e.g. 1 bag over steeple will get points)
Steeple height to be determined but around 48" is the aim.
Gloves are fine
NO GRIP TOPS
Chalk etc is fine, obviously no tacky.

Atlas Stone Sandbag To Shoulder

Atlas stone sandbag to shoulder - 60 seconds with atlas stone shaped sandbags to get as many reps as you can to the shoulder.

60 second time limit
you'll get a "down" once sandbag is on shoulder, stable with an arm away to show control
gloves are fine
NO GRIP TOPS
no tacky or adhesive obviously
any chalk is fine
