Our signature event returns for a special Halloween edition!

The Ultimate Lift Off is the ultimate test of strength - combining max efforts of 5 lifts: the Snatch, the Clean & Jerk, the Back Squat, the Bench Press, and the Deadlift.

Athletes spend 20 minutes at each station warming up the lift and ultimately attempting a PR lift at each station.

We use the Sinclair and Wilks coefficients to determine the strongest lifers pound for pound. This often leads to unexpected winners since the winners are the athletes that lift the most relative to their own bodyweight.

Costumes are encouraged and so are beginner competitors!
