Weight takes priority over reps. A single successful rep at a heavier weight beats multiple reps at a lighter weight. Highest successful weight determines placing. Full lockout required. Athlete must achieve full lockout and wait for the judge’s down command before lowering the bar. No dropping the bar before the down command. Straps allowed. No suits. Event 3: Sandbag Load Medley Over Yoke Four bags are loaded over the yoke. Women load over 44 inches and men load over 48 inches. The lighter bags start further away and the distance gets shorter as the bags get heavier. A split time is recorded every time a bag is successfully loaded. If an athlete only completes three bags, their result is the time to the third bag. We do not measure distance on a bag that is not loaded. Event 4: Farmers Walk With Self Load  — FARMERS WITH A DECISION This event gives athletes a tactical choice. WOMEN 70kg / 90kg per hand MEN 110kg / 130kg per hand Every athlete begins with the lighter Farmers Walk implements. They complete:10m out + 10m back = 20 metres They then have a decision. They can either: continue with the lighter Farmers or move onto the heavier Farmers. They can then attempt another: 10m out + 10m back. A time is recorded for every 10 metres completed. The Trump element After completing the opening 20 metres with the lighter Farmers: reaching 10 metres with the heavier Farmers beats any additional time or distance completed with the lighter Farmers. Event 5: Max Distance Sandbag Carry  All three sandbags will be placed on the floor for the athlete to choose from. Weights Women: 130 lb / 175 lb / 220 lbMen: 200 lb / 245 lb / 290 lbRules The athlete chooses which bag they want to attempt.If they cannot lift their chosen bag from the ground, they may move down to a lighter bag.Once the athlete picks up a bag and crosses the start line, they are committed to that bag and cannot change weights.The athlete carries the bag as far as possible. The longest distance is recorded.Weight Advantage To beat any distance achieved with the next lighter bag, the athlete must carry the heavier bag at least 65ft. Example: If an athlete carries the women's 175 lb bag 65 ft or more, they beat any distance with the 130 lb bag. If they only carry the 175 lb bag 64 ft, they do not beat an athlete who carried the 130 lb bag farther. The same 65 ft rule applies between every weight category.
