Elephant Bar Deadlift
This will be the first event of the day for both the men and women. The bar used is longer than a standard deadlift, which allows more weight to be added. This is an event that has been featured in any Strongman events and it is always exciting to see the strongest men in the world move massive amounts of weight.
Frame Carry
The next event is the second and final of Day One for both the men and women. It is typical of Strongman and Strongwoman competitions to carry a large item for a distance across the finish line. Here, it is a wooden frame that is carried across an inclined course. The weight for this event has not been shared yet.
Dinnie Stone Carry / Neck Stone Carry
The first event for the men on Saturday will be a Dinnie Stone Carry. The competitors will pick up one stone per hand that vary in weight. One stone will be 188kg (414.5lbs) while the second is 144.5kg (318.5lbs). This will not be a timed event. Instead, competitors must carry the stones for the longest distance.
The women will not compete in this event. Instead, they all use Jeck Stones. This will also be a carry event measured using distance.

Apollon’s Wheel / Monster Dumbbell
The men will move onto Apollon’s Wheel, where they will be asked to press an axle-type barbell overhead. This exercise will work shoulder strength. The women will also be working shoulders but instead of a barbell, they will be using a huge dumbbell and using one arm.
Stone Medley
The final event for both men and women will be the stone medley. There was not details provided about this event but Atlas Stones have been a popular event in the sport for a long time. There will be more details about each event announced as the show creeps closer.
