Hampshire’s Strongest 2026

GENERAL RELEASE IS LIVE!!!

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 29th August 2026 and the full weight class Hampshire's Strongest on Sunday 30th August 2026.

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

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

Entry closes 31st July.

30th Sunday (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.

Axle Clean And Press (Trump Option)

Trump Axle C+P for reps - two weight options will be laid out for the competitor, with the aim to get as many reps in 75 seconds as possible. Any reps on the heavier option beats the lighter option. The heavier option weights over 80kg will be using Mirafit XL Wheels! We will likely have most axles off pads.

75 second time limit
you'll get a "down" command only, once full lockout is achieved (arms locked, head through, legs stable)
NO GRIP TOPS (apart from Go For Yoke Sports Lite Grip Bras)
Any chalk is fine.
Any press style allowed, as long as it comes to a stable lockout.
If your axle comes off the pads, you'll be required to put it back yourself before doing another rep.

Deficit Axle Deadlift For Reps

This will be one brutal deadlift event! We will be putting you at a 1 inch deficit (8" bar height) for this event, testing every aspect of raw deadlifting strength. 60 second time limit to get as many fully locked out reps as possible. For this event, we are hoping to use Mirafit XL wheels again to make it look epic (stood on a platform), subject to venue safety.

60 second time limit
NO deadlift suits
any straps allowed
any chalk allowed
talc allowed, but MUST be applied away from rubber matting
down command given when fully locked out (hips locked, knees locked, shoulders back)
no "up" command but your referee will give one firm warning for bouncing/touch and go and then your reps simply will not count

Ian Wilton Shield Carry

The Ian Wilton Shield Carry, max distance and no time limit! Be warned, this event is designed to be HEAVY as we don't want any marathon carries. We are planning to go 4 at a time, so this should look absolutely incredible! If you haven't seen Ian's kit, check out @wilton_steel on Instagram for a better look. Lengths will be 20m each.

no time limit
once you've picked it up, that's it.
NO backwards carries or crab walking (sideways) for safety
shield will be on a stand to start, taken away once you pick it up
foot MUST make contact with the line, if it doesn't you'll need to come back

Duck Walk Into Power Stairs

Duck Walk Into Power Stairs - 2 implements, starting a short duck walk distance away from the stairs consisting of 3 steps up to the top. 60 second time limit to get it done, with every step getting split timed, each one counts for points! Step heights are 16" and we will use Mirafit T Handles as the implements on the lowest pin setting.

60 second time limit
must start hands off
the implement must be fully on at the end for time to stop
any chalk allowed
no straps allowed
duck walk will only be 3-6m determined by space we have

Bags And Stones Over Bar

Bags And Stones Over Bar - a mixture of Atlas Stone Sandbags and Tackyless Atlas Stones over Yokes and Hitching Posts of varying height. A true test of stone lifting ability and raw strength as you aim to complete the 5 stone series within a 60 second time limit. Heights will vary (subject to testing) from 52" down to 44". This may vary for women's and men's classes. For clarity, we will be using a mix of Cerberus Atlas Stone Sandbags and Tackyless regular concrete atlas stones, with their natural finish untouched by tacky.

60 second time limit
NO TACKY, grip spray or anything similar
any chalk allowed
stone must go over the bar to count
split timed so every stone counts for points
time stops when last stone hits the last pad
