Log Press Ladder

The Log Press Ladder has become a favorite in Strongman. This is how competitors will kick off the show. The ladder is meant to show off upper body strength and endurance, like many events in the show. Competitors will be asked to lift a series of logs over their heads with the weight increasing each rep. Again, the weights and times have not been shared yet.

Load & Push Race

The second event will add speed into the mix. Competitors will be asked to move heavy objects across a course as quick as they can. Along with speed and endurance, raw and explosive strength will be put to the test here. Over the course of the show, these events will look to work different strengths for athletes.

Conan’s Wheel

Conan’s Wheel might be the most difficult event in the show. Athletes will hold a weight and walk in a circle for a certain amount of time. Once again, endurance will be tested along with raw strength and grip.

Castle Stones

The final event of the show is one that is very popular in Strongman. Competitors will have to lift stones onto different platforms that are set at different heights. The stones are difficult to lift and place on platforms because of their insane weight and shape.
