EVENT BREAKDOWN
Psycho Circus III will feature multiple classic strongman events designed to test full body strength, endurance, and grip. Competitors will go head to head in timed rounds, battling for the highest number of repetitions and total points across each event.
Axle Clean and Press
Athletes will clean a thick axle bar from the floor and press it overhead for maximum repetitions within the time limit. The axle bar’s larger diameter makes the lift more challenging by testing both pressing power and grip strength.
Log Clean and Press
The strongman log is one of the most iconic overhead events in strength sports. Competitors will clean the log to their chest and press it overhead for as many reps as possible during the round.
Double Overhand Axle Deadlift
This deadlift event uses a thick axle bar and requires a double overhand grip. Straps are not allowed, which means grip strength will be a major factor in how many repetitions athletes can complete.
Hercules Hold
Athletes will test their grip and endurance in this classic strongman challenge. Competitors hold two weighted implements at their sides for as long as possible while resisting the pull of the weights.
Atlas Stone to Shoulder
The Atlas Stone event tests full body power and technique. Athletes will lift a heavy stone from the ground and bring it to their shoulder for repetitions within the time limit.
Head to Head Format
Many of the events will be run in a head to head format where two athletes compete simultaneously. This adds intensity and strategy to the competition as athletes push each other to complete more reps before time expires.
