***MUST WEAR CONTEST TEE – may remove sleeves if desired***

Max Log Press

• NATIONAL RECORDS will be on the line
• 60sec to produce a successful lift. You may push, pull, kick, scream, and dance all you want in that 60sec to produce a good lift. If that 60sec expires and you have not produced a good lift, you are out.
• We will take openers during warmups. 3 attempts will be allowed to reach a top weight, but if you miss, you’re out.
• Athlete must wait for down command.
• To receive down command, knees must be locked; feet stationary, not staggered, and within shoulder width; hips extended; upright posture; elbows locked; implement must be motionless to demonstrate control. Pressing with a “layback” technique is fine, however posture must be upright at lockout to receive the down command.
• Dropping the implement will result in a “no lift” call. Object must be controlled to the ground. This is not easy, but clear effort must be made to control the descent.
• Sleeves, one belt, and wrist wraps are legal.
• No tacky (if that wasn’t obvious).

Max Mouser Block Over Bar

• 60sec to produce a successful lift. You may push, pull, kick, scream, and dance all you want in that 60sec to produce a good lift. If that 60sec expires and you have not produced a good lift, you are out.
• Blocks start on floor, and must be hoisted over a yoke bar. 44” for ladies, 48” for the fellows.
• We will take openers during warmups. 3 attempts will be allowed to reach a top weight, but if you miss, you’re out.
• Ladies use the Mini-Block, gentlemen use the big Block.
• Sleeves legal. One belt is allowed. No rubberized clothing. No sticky gooey substances of any kind.
• Mouser Blocks available at www.mouserpower.com/mouser-block/

Deep Waters Hercules Hold

• Athletes will hold as long as possible; longest time wins.
• Revolving handles
• No grip aids allowed. Chalk is legal.

Stone Carry & Load

• Athletes will have 60sec to carry and load up to 4 stones over a bar
• Women’s bar will be set to 44” and men’s 48”
• Athlete will start with a hand on the yoke bar prior to the start command
• The 1^st stone will be 14ft from the bar, 2^nd stone at 18ft, 3^rd stone at 22ft, and the fourth stone at 26ft
• Drop are legal, however rolling the stone is not. Any intentional rolling or failed attempt to stop the stone from rolling after a drop will result in the referee commanding the athlete to roll the stone back to the original drop point.
• Stones must be carried in front of the body; shouldered carries are specifically disallowed, as are devices that may aid in the carry.
• No sticky or gooey substances of any kind may be used. No Loctite, no tacky, no tacky towels, or whatever the cool kids are using nowadays. This a raw stone event and we will lift them like our ancestors did.
• Belt, sleeves, forearm tape, and leather forearm gauntlets are legal. Rubberized gear is not.

Truck Pull

• 60sec time limit to cover the 75ft course. Harness and hand rope style.
• Everyone will use the same harness. Please do not pester me about using your own harness. I won’t budge. In 9 years, probably 13 contests, and countless training sessions with 110 pound ladies all the way up to 400+lb men, no one has ever “come out” of the harness in mid-pull. The only way to accomplish that would be to literally stop pulling and move backward to create slack while letting your arms hang down to the side and slumping your shoulders. If you do that, you didn’t want to win anyway.
• Fastest time wins.
• You may assign your own “rope handler” if you wish, if not, one will be provided for you

General Rules/Usual Mouser Stuff

• In the event of a tie in the final standings, 1^st place finishes will decide the winner. If there is still a tie, then 2^nd place finishes will be the determinant, and so on. If a tie cannot be broken this way, athletes will compete head to head in a
• 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.
