This contest is a CAASA sanctioned rookie competition. We have designed this comp based on Adrenaline’s War of the West competition (May 17-18th) in Regina, meaning the events are similar in nature. This competition is designed for rookie competitors and beginner athletes in the sport of Strongman. This competition is open to anyone and everyone interested in getting involved in the sports, whether it be your first competition or your second or third, this competition is for anyone wanting to test themselves against other interested strongman athletes.
Unlike many other larger Saskatchewan strongman shows this event will be smaller in scale – the event will be run out of Synergy Strength and will be designed to be a fun yet competitive day of competition with a casual atmosphere. The events for the comp are as follows;
WOMEN’s EVENTS:
Event 1 – Max Axle:
– 2″ inch axle will be used with a starting load of 75 pounds. The axle will rise in increments of 10# building to a max effort for each competitor. This event will be completed head to head.
Event 2 – Yoke/Sandbag
– All implements will be carried for a total of 60′. Two options are available for the yoke and the sandbag. Option 1: 345# yoke and 100# sandbag Option 2: 435# yoke and 160# sandbag. Athletes will chose their loads before beginning and any athlete choosing heavier loads will be placed above those choosing lighter loads, but the yoke must be moved a minimum of 30′ to be scored successfully. This event is head to head.
Event 3 – Deadlift (straight bar vehicle apparatus)
– A tire will be loaded onto a vehicle deadlift apparatus and be lifter for reps.
