The lifter will provide their opening weight during check in, and their subsequent attempts to the score keeper directly after each successful lift. If during an attempt the lifter fails to complete a lift, they will not get another attempt. Men’s bar will start at 315lbs and increase at a rate of 20lbs, and Women will start at 135 and increase at a rate of 10lbs. Elbow sleeves, belt, knee sleeves, wrist wraps, and straps are allowed.

Rolling Handle Dead Hang
The lifter will take their grip of the two standard 1.25” diameter rolling handles attached to pullup bar. When the judge says go the competitor will lift their feet off the ground (plyometrics box if you can’t reach the ground) and hold on as long as possible. When one or both of your feet touch the ground, your attempt is over. Other than the use of chalk no supportive equipment will be allowed for this event.
Last Man Standing Stone Load
All competitors for your class will line in reverse order of score (person in last place is first in line, and person in first place is last in line). Competitors will have 20 second to load each stone. Each person in the line will start by attempting to load the lightest stone in the series over a 48” bar. Once each competitor has either loaded the stone or dropped out then the stone will be replaced with the next heaviest stone in the series. This will continue until the heaviest stone in your classes series is reached. You will continue to load the stones in line order until all competitors, but one have drop out. If you are unable to load any of the stones within the 20 seconds you drop out, and you will be scored based on the order you dropped out (drop out first get last place in event, drop out last and get first place in the event). If two or more competitors drop out at the same weight they will tie, and points will be divided in using strongman scoring standards. Tacky, grip shirt, and all other standard strongman supportive equipment is allowed.
