***Late fee kicks in Friday, Oct 20th upon the witching hour***
One week before Nationals, the ghoulish gang at VPT is going to raise the dead for a party of supernatural proportions! It’s time to crack open that coffin and get your bloodsucking booty on over to our haunted Halloween strength bonanza! Challenges will feature such frightening classics as the Drag Me to Hell chain pull, the Bring Out Your Dead cadaver load, and of course the Jack O’ Lantern Over Bar.
So ride your favorite broom, fly with your bat wings, travel through interdimensional portals, or slither your way to Viking Performance Training on Nov. 4th. It doesn’t matter how you get here, just do not miss your chance to join the mummified muscle mania that is A Viking Halloween!

The Terror Wheels (Axle Clean and Press Away)
- 60sec to complete as many bloody reps as possible
- Athlete must wait for a down signal or his/her rep will not count and they may be burned at the stake
- Axle must return to rack position before beginning each successive rep. For those with shoulder/arm mobility issues, please consult with the referee beforehand.
- Elbows and knees must be locked; hips extended; feet stationary, non-staggered, and heels within shoulder width to receive a down command. No resting axle on belt.
- Sleeves, one belt (buckle to side or rear), and wrist wraps legal. Not legal: knee wraps, suits, witch brooms
Drag Me to Hell (Chain Drag Medley)
- Athletes will have 75sec to drag 3 different sets of giant chains across the course
- Chains must be dragged in order, and as specified. Example: a 700lb drag is made of two chains that must be dragged together
- Entire chain must cross the line before the athlete can move onto the next chain. Referee will give a verbal and visual signal when this occurs. Spirits may be summoned for motivation.
- Equipment allowed: sleeves, wrist wraps, one belt. No straps, hooks, knee wraps, sticky crap.
Dawn of the Deadlift (Deadlift Medley)
- Athlete will have 60sec to lift each implement once. The final implement (13in Axle) may be lifted for reps. You will not be allowed to strap in prior to starting, you will do so once the time starts.
- Implements, in order, are: Deadlift Bar at standard height, Giant Wagon Wheels on a stiff bar at 18in, Frame, and Tire Axle at 13in height.
- You may not drop the implements. Dropping an implement will result in a “no lift” and you will have to lift that implement again before moving on. PLEASE READ THIS AGAIN.
- Equipment allowed: usual Mouser rules except… straps ARE legal. If your nose bleeds, vampires will aid with clean up.
Bring Out Your Dead (Keg and Wheelbarrow)
- Athlete will have 60sec to load 3 barrels stuffed with cadavers and filled with formaldehyde (kegs) into the meat wagon (wheelbarrow) and then carry the barrow across the course into the gates of hell.
- Kegss will be stationed bordering the wheelbarrow and must be lifted and placed into the barrow in the specified order. Each keg will have a designated bay it must be loaded into.
- The barrow will be lifted and carried only after all the kegs have been properly placed in it, and the course will be ~40ft
- One drop is allowed before the finish line, and a 2 sec slide rule penalty applies
- Fastest time wins. Credit will be given for distance or number of kegs loaded for those that do not finish.
- Abusing the equipment may be grounds for DQ from the event and possible from the contest entirely. These means some attempt must be made to control the wheelbarrow after the finish line is crossed. For the sake of the parking lot and equipment, please do not slam or just let go of the handles.
- Equipment allowed: usual stuff. No straps.
Jack-O-Lantern Over Bar (Atlas Stones)
- An increasingly heavy series of “pumpkins” (stones) must be loaded over the bar at 48in.
- 60sec time limit. Fastest time wins.
- Equipment allowed: sleeves, belt, tape, leather forearm gauntlets. Not allowed: tacky, stick um, ectoplasm, rubber shirts.
General Rules/Usual Mouser Stuff
- In the event of a tie in the final standings, a tie breaker event will be held. No countback unless absolutely necessary!
- Sportsmanship is expected and required. This is the greatest sport in the world, let’s keep it that way.
- There will be a pre-event prayer. No one is expected to participate, so please do not feel obligated. All we ask is to be respectful of those that do or do not wish to participate.
- This is a drug free contest. If you are juiced feel free to come cheer on your buddies but please do not bother to sign up.
- If you have a question, please ask! I would rather take a minute to clarify something than to see someone have a poor showing due to a misunderstanding.
