Event #3
Head to Head Car Deadlift Hold


Two athletes face off against each other in a head to head hold. Time will still be tracked separately for each athlete, and scoring is determined within your class as a whole. Straps, figure 8s, belts, socks, sleeves, okay. No suits.



Matched Vehicles still to be tested for each class.

Event #4
Axle Clean and Press and Push

75 seconds. The athlete will complete two reps with the first axle, ground to overhead anyway. You will then proceed to push a truck 40 feet to the finish line, where a heavier axle will be waiting for them to put over your head. Your time (score) stops at the down command of the heavier axle. Split times will also be taken as the truck crosses the finish line. The athlete must have the bar locked overhead, feet below the shoulders, to receive a down command. Dropping of the bar is permitted, but the athlete is responsible for controlling the bar to the ground (don't hit the truck!). Belt, wrist wraps, sleeves are legal. Belt cleans are legal.

Event #5
Elevated Max Axle Deadlift

This will be a limited (2-4") pull max axle deadlift. Also known historically as a Hand and Thigh lift or a rack pull. The bar height will be within 2-3" of the top of the kneecap. Additional increments may be added based on the athletes proportions. You will have 3 attempts to achieve a max weight. Athletes will give their first attempts during warmups, and give the scorekeeper their next attempt upon successful completion of the lift. You may skip attempts, but the weight on the bar will not go back down. The athlete will have 30 seconds to strap in, stand up with the weight, legs locked out, and receive a down command. You may keep trying during your 30 seconds, but once you miss a lift you're out. The axle will progress in 40 to 50# increments for males and 20 to 30# increments for females. Straps, figure 8s, belts, socks, sleeves, okay. No suits.

Starting weights still to be announced
