Rules:

Crucifix Hold: Contestant will hold either Viking Axes or weighted “hammers” laterally, arms at 90 degrees. Once the weight drops past two inches below 90 degrees, time will stop.

Timber Frame Carry: It’s a race. Contestants will be allowed to set their grip, given a ready signal, then a go. Race will be 60 feet, unlimited drops, fastest time wins. 60 second time limit.

Last Man Standing DL: Just like it sounds, the last man (or woman) standing wins. Each contestant will have to lift the opening weight, and then elect to pass or lift on each ensuing weight. Weights will jump #20 for women, and #40 for men. Last man (or woman) standing may call their weight, to establish a State Record.

Viking Press: Contestant will begin in a “rack” position, with weight standard off of the ground, and then have 60 seconds to perform as many reps as possible with their given weight.

Conan’s Wheel: Contestant will pick up the bar in a “Zercher” style, give a nod, then be given the “go”. Contestant will have 60 seconds to carry the load as far as possible, unlimited drops.
