🔥 The Ultimate Test of Strength is Coming! 🔥


Are you ready to witness raw power, grit, and determination? This is not just a competition – it’s a Strongman Showdown where lifters of all levels push their bodies and minds to the limit in a series of events designed to thrill, inspire, and leave you on the edge of your seat!


Here’s what’s waiting for athletes and spectators alike:


💥 Event 1: Max Deadlift – Rising Bar Challenge

The bar keeps climbing in 10kg jumps – the question is, who can hang on the longest? Straps and suits are allowed, but with just 30 seconds per lift, there’s no room for hesitation. With starting weights as high as 280kg for the Opens, this is where records get broken and legends are made.

💰 £500 CASH + Trophy for the biggest deadlift of the day – across ALL categories.


💥 Event 2: The Yoke Run – 30m of Sheer Power

Pick it up, move it fast, and don’t stop. Competitors will charge 15m down, turn, and bring it back with weights reaching 350kg for the Opens. Only the strongest legs and lungs will survive this sprint of steel.


💥 Event 3: Log Press for Reps

Sixty seconds, one log, endless pain. From 90kg novice presses to the brutal 140kg open division log, this is the true test of brute pressing power.


💥 Event 4: The Dinnie Stone Walk

Grip strength meets determination – athletes carry two uneven stones for 30m with as many drops as needed. With the Opens taking on 130kg/120kg stones, this event will test every ounce of mental toughness.


💥 Event 5: The Sandbag Steeplechase

Think speed, power, and chaos – carry sandbags over a 4ft yoke and load them fast. Two bags, back-to-back. From 60kg novice bags to a brutal 120kg/140kg open challenge, this finale will have the crowd roaring.
