EVENT DESCRIPTIONS:

Axel Clean & Press Medley (reps): The athlete will clean and press 3 weighted axels for as many reps as possible in 60 seconds. Strict press, push press, and push/split jerk ARE all allowed. The athlete will start behind the axels. The first bar is set at the lightest weight, the second axel will be heavier than the first, and the last axel will be the heaviest. To begin, the athlete will approach the 1st axel and complete the Clean and Press. Once successfully completed, they will step over the axel to advance to the next axel to complete another Clean and Press. After a second successful lift, the athlete will step over the bar to go to the 3rd axel. The athlete will use the remaining time to accumulate as many Clean and Press reps at the heaviest weight as possible. Both sides of the axel must touch the floor between reps. In all lifts, the axel must be in the front rack position before it goes overhead. Elbows must be locked in the overhead position, with the weight being in the center of the athlete, and demonstrate control at the top before returning to the start position. Drops are allowed from the top. The max number of reps will serve as the athlete's score.

Weights TBD


Tire Flips (reps): The athlete will complete as many tire flips as possible in 60 seconds. The tire must stand upright during the middle of the lift, land on the opposite side than it started, and come to a complete stop for the movement to be complete. The tire must be laying flat on the ground before the next rep is attempted.

Weights TBD


Farmer Carry (time): The athlete will lift and carry a farmer’s handle in both hands. You will be timed while carrying the weight 25ft down, and 25ft back to the starting position. All the weight must be completely off the ground before the athlete begins the carry. Drops are allowed. The handles will be a neutral grip and positioned beside the athlete. There will be a 3-minute time cap per competitor to complete this event.

Weights TBD


Keg Carry + Load (time): The athlete will carry and load 3 weighted kegs over a yoke boom for time. The athlete will pick up a weighted keg and carry it to the yoke and will load it over the boom of the yoke to complete the movement. To begin, the athlete will be behind the kegs, facing the yokes. During the carry, the keg must be completely off the ground. The athlete can use any method to carry the keg to the yoke. The keg must make it over the boom and land on the other side for the load to be complete. Once one keg passes to the other side, the athlete will run back to the start position to carry and load the next keg. Each subsequent keg will be heavier than the last. The time to load all 3 kegs will be recorded as the score. There will be a 3-minute time cap per competitor to complete this event.

Distance & Weights TBD


Truck Arm-Over-Arm Pull (time): The athlete will be seated, and will hold a rope connected to the truck. While staying seated in the tire, the athlete will use only the rope to pull the truck a set distance as fast as possible. The time will be recorded as the score. There will be a 3-minute time cap per competitor to complete this event.

Distance & Weights TBD
