Obsidian Strength Trials – Season 1
The Eternal Strength League presents the first season of the Obsidian Strength Trials - a new competition format built to test raw strength, skill, and resilience in a way that honours the roots of strength sport while pushing athletes into new territory.
Season 1 will feature a series of online and in-person events, each designed to challenge different qualities of strength: maximal lifts, dynamic power, endurance under load, and the ability to perform when fatigue sets in. Athletes will accumulate points across the season, with leaderboards published by class and division. w
The First Trial goes live on October 6th.
Unlike many federations, the Obsidian Strength Trials has been built from the ground up for accessibility. There are no convoluted categories or prohibitive barriers to entry: one membership covers you from now until the end of 2026, giving every lifter the chance to compete, improve, and measure themselves against a growing field of strength athletes.
Whether you are a seasoned competitor or stepping onto the platform for the first time, the Trials are your chance to test yourself, benchmark your progress, and take part in a community committed to the pursuit of strength.
Season 1 Highlights:
- Hybrid format: online and live events.
- Varied challenges testing maximal strength, athleticism, and resilience.
- League structure: accumulate points across events.
- Accessible membership model - one fee covers multiple seasons until 2026.
The Obsidian Strength Trials – Season 1 is more than a competition: it’s an initiation into a new league of strength athletes who value grit, progression, and the timeless challenge of testing themselves under the bar.
