Event 5:
Arm Over Arm Pull:
This is gonna be done with a length of chain like at this year's UK's and the weights are to be confirmed but aiming for roughly 200-220kg for Novice and about 300kg for opens. These weights will be confirmed after testing.
Event 6:
Stone Over a 53" Yoke for reps.
Novice - 100kg stone.
Open - 130 or 140kg stone, this is yet to be made but will be ready by the time of the comp, will put an update on here as soon as the stone is made re the weight.
All events will have a 90 second time limit except Maxle obviously, straps allowed for the deadlift, suits will be allowed for opens but not novices as we are expecting mostly first timers who won't have access to suits.
There will be a £10 entry fee and protein for the winners of each class. We are limiting each class to 10 entrants and a couple of reserves in case of pull outs/injuries prior to the comp. |
