Night at the Deadlifts 5: Texas Showdown

It's back... and better than ever!

Come and join us on Saturday 12th September 2026 for an evening of deadlifting and pushing past your limits.

Overhead? Nah we're over it. Yoke? Move aside. Competing against people? You are your own competition, it's You v You Baby!

Night at the Deadlifts is all about everyone lifting together, hitting some new PBs and hanging out with a bunch of likeminded folk that also want to spend their Saturday night lifting heavy things.

So how does it work?

There will be 4 lift types on the night:- Conventional (Texas Bar) 15 Inch Wagon Wheel Deadlift (Texas Bar), Silver Dollar Deadlift and 18 Inch Monster Wagon Wheel Deadlift (axle bar)

You pick your main lift type and have 3 lift attempts (we recommend your first lift being something that is a bit of a challenge but you know you can lift, then using the next two lifts to hit a new PB!)

So one main lift sounds cool, but you want to add on additional lifts? Great! you sure can, each additional lift is priced at £10 per lift type and you can add it on nice and easy, you still get 3 lift attempts for each additional lift.

Think you’re not strong enough? Night at the Deadlifts is open to all athletes of every ability from total beginner to stadium pros including our very own Dean Evans who will be going for over 1000lbs!

Need adaptations? Just let us know! Our aim is to make Night at the Deadlifts inclusive and accessible to all and we will do everything we can to make it possible for you to take part, just let us know what we can do.

After all of the lifting is done, there will be a presentation ceremony too so it is a great photo op!
