Just a quick update - many of you are asking about weights for each event. I have already posted weights for the one-arm DB press for reps and deadlift for
reps. The deadlift for reps event will mirror everything found in NAStrongman's World Records (rules, weights, etc.). We are promoting this as the WORLD
RECORD event and is a great opportunity to get your name in the record books. Register before August 1 and take advantage of our early registration discount!
Zurcher Carry
---------------
Barbell starts resting on supports (previous rules version states the bar starts at chest level, which would probably be too high for the lifter. We hope to have adjustable supports for the start. Weights:
LW Men - 315 lbs.
MW Men - 385 lbs.
HW Men - 450 lbs. (feedback on this weight, please)
All Women - 225 lbs. (women - please provide feedback here. I can lower these if too heavy)
Teen LW - 225 lbs.
Teen HW - 275 lbs.
All masters - 315 lbs.
Odd-Object Loading
----------------------
Platform height has been lowered to between 3-4 feet. Objects will be a combination of granite stones, concrete cylinders, tree trunks and a few other heavy surprises. Objects will be appropriately selected for each division.
Vehicle Push/Pull
------------------
Originally, this was set to be a vehicle pull. It is now a push/pull event. The course will be 75 feet long. The first leg will be the push. The athlete will stand behind the vehicle and push the vehicle along the 75-foot course. If the athlete
Please feel free to e-mail or call with questions:
reaches 75 feet, the referee will give the athlete a signal to grab onto bar (will be attached to the back of the truck with a chain) and pull the truck back along the same course (there will be a driver in the vehicle ready to hit the brakes in case the athlete falls). Distance will be the first tie-breaker. In the event that 2 or more athletes complete the full course or reach the same point in the course, time will break this tie.
