Commonly contested events
- Deadlift – Lifting weights or vehicles straight off the ground until knees lock in a standing position. The 2018 edition consisted of a max silver dollar deadlift, a variation in which the weight is lifted from 18 inches (460 mm) which is double the height of the standard bar. The 2019 edition used the conventional strongman version of the deadlift, a standard deadlift bar with straps and deadlift suit allowed.[3]
- Super Yolk – Apparatus composed of a crossbar and two uprights. The uprights each have a heavy weight attached to them, such as a refrigerator or diesel engine, and the competitors must carry the yoke on their shoulders for a short distance.[4]
- Shield Carry – Athletes compete in carrying a 'shield' usually weighing between 160–180 kilograms (350–400 lb) for distance or a set distance for the fastest time. Shield carry can be its own event or can be used alongside the super yoke.
- Press Medley – Athletes must press various equipment such as a log, axle, circus barbell and giant dumbbell. With the fastest athlete being the winner of the event.
- Vehicle Pull – Vehicles such as transport trucks, trams, boxcars, buses, or planes are pulled across a 100-foot (30 m) course as fast as possible. One variation sees the competitors pull the object with a rope toward them. Another has them attached to a rope which is attached to a vehicle, while they use another rope to pull themselves down the course.[5]
- McGlashen Stones / Atlas Stones – Five heavy round stones increasing in weight from 100–160 kilograms (220–350 lb) are lifted and set on platforms. When the stones were first introduced to the competition, it was an individual event and the platforms were all of equal height. The modern Atlas Stones event takes place on a 16–33-foot (5–10 m) long course and the competitors participate two at a time. In the 2019 edition a first of its kind 10 stone event was introduced with stones ranging from 100–200 kilograms (220–440 lb).[6]
