Max Tire Deadlift
Wheelbarrow and Arm-Over-Arm Medley
Bag Toss
Car Leg Press

Bench Press
Fingal’s Fingers and Power Stairs Medley

The show will consist of events that test athlete’s strength in many ways. It begins with the Log Medley. This was present in last year’s competition and will be conducted in a similar way. The competitors will approach logs of three different weights and have a choice to lift any of them. If they want to score higher, it would be beneficial to lift the heaviest log for a single rep.

A new event will be the Bench Press. It will not be a conventional lift as a unique machine will be used that allows competitors to stand upright. The Atlas Stone is typically the final event in competitions but it will not be here. Instead, the Fingal’s Fingers and Power Stairs Medley will end the show.

At the time of the video release, the implements have not been determined. Also, the machine used for Bench Press has not been shared.
