NEW COMPETITION!

FIVE EVENT- STONE LIFTING COMPETITION

SATURDAY OCT 10TH

Stone Press– an athlete lifts a stone from the floor and presses it completely overhead to a locked-out position

Husafell Carry – a legendary strongman test of strength that involves picking up an awkwardly shaped stone and walking with it for maximum distance or time

Stone Hold– is a static grip-and-endurance event where athletes lift and sustain the stone off the ground for as long as possible. Unlike dynamic events like loading or carrying, a static hold tests raw finger, trap, and core isometric strength

Bavarian Deadlift– Competitors stand on an elevated platform with a loading pin and weights hanging below the platform, attached via a chain or rigid link to a high handle or bar. Similar to a sumo deadlift, the lifter pulls the stone upwards. To count as a valid lift, the stone must clear a designated target line.

Natural Stone Medley– a grueling test of raw strength, grip, and transition speed where athletes must lift, press, shoulder, or carry a sequence of irregular, un-machined natural stones against the clock
