This competition will have a number of exciting events most of which are static tests of limit strength and strength endurance meaning the competitors will be severely taxed in their posterior chain and their grip as the day progresses. Competitors who tend to do well with moving events will find that they might shine in the Sandbag Carry to Zercher Carry but have a hard time with the Sandbag Press, Sandbag Toss and Farmers Hold. Either way, all of the events below will show who truly is the Winter Warrior Strongest and you’ll have a front row seat for all of the action from wherever you choose to watch the stream.
Events
Sandbag Press
