The Annual Haynes Farm Open 2025.

WE ARE BACK!!!

The Haynes Farm Open returns in 2025 - this time looking pretty in pink, and spanning over the weekend with some brand new classes:

On Saturday, we will have the following categories: Men's Novice <100KG, Men's Novice >100KG, Women's Novice <75KG, Women's Novice >75KG, Men's Masters (40+)

On Sunday, we will have the main show: Men's <90KG, Men's <120KG, Men's Opens, Women's <75KG, Women's >75KG.

We'll have a BBQ running both days, as well as merch for sale, as well as hopefully having sponsor stools there this year with products for sale/testers etc! More details to come. Asking a £3.50 minimum entry for spectators, 100% of which will be going to our chosen charity "Let's Play Project" which is based on the farm. Free entry for kids and doggos, but please keep dogs on leads!)

THE EVENTS

1) Cambridge Deadlift For Max (3 Lifts - Rising Bar Style). Men on one bar, women on the other.

The cambridge deadlift set up is unique to the farm, utilising a custom made 3m long axle bar, with Cambridge Rolls straight off the farm, which sits the bar height around 11-12" off the floor.

£100 CASH PRIZES WILL BE WON FOR NEW RECORDS:
Currently held by Lewis Byng and Emily Norley (365KG and 175KG respectively)

30s time limit per attempt. All straps/belts okay. No suits/briefs.

2) Overhead Medley

4 implements Novice & Masters (Monster Dumbbell, Axle, Log, Circus DB)

5 implements Main Show (Monster Dumbbell, Axle, Log, Circus DB, Block)

All items best be returned to Pads/Drop Matts. All implements split timed FTOH.

ALL WEIGHTS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE

75s time limit.

3) Max Keg Toss

Athletes will have 60s to throw the heaviest keg over the bar as possible. Men's height 4m // Women's height 3.5m.
Lighest keg is 10KG.

Don't need to do any particular kegs - start in where you like - you can go up and down weight wise if you fail!

4) Mystery Event

"You can't park there" - sadly, it is not a car flip with or without an engine ;)

5) Stone For Reps

Dead simple - Much like the SMOE, you'll have a choice of 3 stones.

1 rep on the heaviest stone beats any reps on a lighter stone.

60s time limit

Haynes Farm Open - Tester Day 20th Mar 2025 12:57pm

Good afternoon beautiful people!!

Next Sunday (30/05/2025) we will be hosting an Open Day at the farm specifically for HFO athletes.

All athletes are invited to come and test out the competition equipment for the day. I ask anyone attending to please cover a gym day pass (£10) via the link - (https://buy.stripe.com/7sIcNleMKdCF5KobIS) or bring cash on the day.

We will have the overhead medley, cambridge deadlift, keg toss and stones set up to come and play with.

The farm will be open from 10:00am to 16:00, just drop in when you like and come and have a go. We'll set it up in four stations so you can just float to whichever station you want to. If it has been raining or its wet, bring appropriate footwear for throwing kegs in the field!! Also no outdoor footwear in the gym, and tacky to be applied outside the gym please!!

Haynes Farm Open 2025 - Couple of Little Updates!! 11th Mar 2025 7:50am

Hey squad,

Just a few little updates for you!

Event 1 will be kicking off at 10:00am. Athlete meeting at 9:30, if you miss the meeting you won't be eligible to compete for safety reasons. Athletes that need to weigh in can weigh in on the day, from 7am. Alternatively you're welcome to send a video of you stepping on the scales anytime after 00:00 (same day weigh ins) - just show the date/time clearly on your phone in the same video as you weighing in please. Videos to be sent to 07482777909 - if not there will be people present to weigh you in at signup.

KEG TOSS

The keg toss heights for the ladies are being changed!

Women's Novice < 75 - Throwing over 2m

Women's Novice >75 - Throwing over 2.5m

Women's U75 - Throwing over 2.5

Women's Opens (75+) - Throwing over 3m

Men - All throwing over 4m :)

This is because I want there to be a good competition of who can get the heaviest keg over - not have loads of people struggling to get the 10 over!

Events 3 and 4 will switch - similar to last year to save time. Women will have mystery event then throwing, men will have throwing and then mystery event!

We're super excited for this - if anyone wants to come play on the kit i'll be announcing an open day hopefully late March - so keep an eye out!

Any questions just drop Paddy a DM on insta <3

Love you all
