Max Cambridge Deadlift

The Max Deadlift.

Best way to start off the show. Athletes will be given 3 attempts to lift the heaviest deadlift they can.

Rising bar style.

3 lifts each, rising bar style. 4th lifts will be allowed to go for the record if applicable. (365 Mens - L.Byng, 190 Womens T. Peters) All straps allowed. Talc is allowed.

No oils, no tackies, no deadlift suits OR briefs. No sumo.

Log/Axle for Reps

Athletes are to press a log, followed by an axle, for reps in 60s.

Most reps wins.

Implements must be pressed in order - Log - Axle - Log - Axle etc.

If you fail the log, you cannot try the axle.

Belt cleans are fine for all classes EXCEPT than Men's Opens (Mainly because I have to suffer so you boys can too)

No Grip Tops, No knee or elbow wraps, just one pair of sleeves (can have a cuff as well if you like) and wrist wraps

Tractor Pull

Tractor Pull!

An old classic I just had to bring back. This will be indoors on concrete.

You will either be doing Arm over Arm OR Harness and Rope. These wont be announced till closer to the date as I need to test this thoroughly. Be prepared for both.

Anything goes really! Just prepare for either a truck pull or an arm over arm pull!

Course length is the length of the barn (roughly 13m) - so it will be heavy.

Mystery Event

Lol - good luck friends.

This ones gonna suck

Keg Loading Medley

4 Kegs to be loaded for time!

4 Kegs Per Class They will be slightly staggered (lightest furthest away, heaviest closest)

Ranging from 10m to 5m.

Kegs must be stood upright on the trailer.
