This competition will consist of 5 events that will test strength and endurance ranging from deadlifts, shoulder strength, and grip. These events are selected so that all military personnel participating will be capable of completing every event in a safe manner without the high risk of injury. Proper preparation for this event is, however, crucial for success. Event weights will be split up into weight and skill level categories to ensure fairness and safety for each competitor. Novice weight groups are for very beginners who are not at a high level of weight lifting skill but still would like to participate. Although the Novice weights are light, please do not enroll just because they are easy. This competition is designed to challenge competitors to the best of their ability and to compete against others on base who are of similar skill.
