Strongman Competition Events —

Log press/circus dumbbell press: With the log press, the implement is round and has a parallel hand grip which makes the event much harder. The athlete must pick up the weight and overhead press the weight to full extension. Upon completion, the athlete will then grab a giant dumbbell with both hands, get the weight to their shoulder and release one hand, then they will overhead press to full extension.

Farmer’s walk: The athlete has two weights, one on each side of them, they have to pick up the weight and walk a set distance as fast as they can.

Deadlift: With the deadlift, the athletes have weight on the floor in front of them, they pick the weight up and put it back down.

Truck pull: The athlete is harnessed to a truck and they have to pull the truck a set distance as fast as they can.

Atlas stones: The Atlas stones are a staple event. They are giant concrete balls that the athlete must pick up and place over a bar as many times as they can in 60 seconds.

Keg toss: This is a last man standing event. Everyone starts at the same height and they have 3 attempts to clear each height. If they are unable to clear the bar, they are out. The winner is the person that throws the keg the highest.

Arm over arm drag: With the arm over arm drag there is some form of weight at the end of a rope. On the other end is the athlete behind a bracing block. They have to drag the weight as fast as they can over a set distance.

Hercules hold: This event is a lot of fun. There is a weight on each side of the athlete. They have to grab the handles on the weights and the weight is released. Then the athlete has to stand and hold the weight for as long as they can.
