The Showdown returns for 2026! 2025 was our biggest and best year so far - in 2026 we plan to smash that! Hosted by Iron Will Strength & Conditioning, and TT Fitness Hub.
This year, we are mixing things up a bit... Instead of the conventional ability categories, we're dividing into lightweight + heavyweight. We want the focus to be on the weights you're lifting, not what category you normally compete in.
Choose the category that is going to challenge you the most and push your limits!
The categories:
Men's Lightweight (MLW)
Men's Heavyweight (MHW)
Women's Lightweight (WLW)
Women's Heavyweight (WHW)
The events:
1) Log & Axle Overhead Medley for reps in 60s
MLW: 60kg Log, 65kg Axle
MHW: 85kg Log, 90kg Axle

Competitors will press each implement overhead, moving back and forth between the two. Total reps in 60s.
