________________________________________________________________
On the 4th and 5th June 2016, at Umina Beach, New South Wales, Australia, the 2016 Australasia’s Most Powerful Man and Woman competition will be held. Over 50 competitors from Australia and New Zealand will battle through 5 different events in 9 weight divisions to work out who is the Most Powerful…
Saturday – 4th June – All Ladies Divisions and Under 80kg Men and Under 90kg Men divisions
Sunday – 5th June – Men’s Masters, Mens Under 105kg and Men’s Heavyweight divisions.
The Events
Event 1 – TRUCK PULL with Harness and Rope to pull on. 20m distance (60 secs)
Athletes will have 1minute to pull either a 7 tonne Rural Fire Service Fire Truck or for the heavier divisions a 14 tonne RFS Fire Truck the distance of 20m.
Event 2 – TRIPLE THREAT PRESSING MEDLEY (60 secs)
The athletes will have 60 second to press above their heads, three implements, a Beer Keg, a Steel Log and an Axle.
Incredibly the heavyweight men will be lifting these weights:
- 100kg Beer Keg
- 130kg Log
- 140kg Axle
Event 3 – Rising Bar AXLE DEADLIFT
The bar will keep increasing each round in weight and the athletes have to keep lifting until the last person is left who can lift the most weight. The Heavyweight Men will start off at 280kg on the Axle and this will go up by 20kg increments, and then once half or more of the competitors have failed, by 10kg increments.
Event 4 – TRIPLE TORMENT CARRY (60 secs)
The athletes get the joy (sarcastic) of carrying three painful and awkward objects for 15m each. The Heavyweight Men will be lifting:
- Yoke 325kg
- Farmers 150kg (In each hand)
- Husafel Stone Carry 150kg
Event 5 – ATLAS Stone Over Bar (75 secs).
The athletes have 75 seconds to lift a round concrete Atlas stone over a 1m plus bar, as many times as they can in 75 seconds.
Each athlete has the choice of a heavier or lighter stone, but one repetition with the heavier stone will always outscore any number with the lighter stone.
The Heavyweight men will have the choice of a 160kg or 200kg stone.
