JULIUS MADDOX 800 POUND BENCH PRESS SERIES

In the 2019 edition, a 10 stone event was introduced with stones ranging from 100–200 kilograms (220–440 lb), a first of its kind. The modern Atlas Stones event takes place on a 16–33-foot (5–10 m) long course and the competitors participate two at a time. When the stones were first introduced to the competition, it was an individual event and the platforms were all of equal height.

McGlashen Stones / Atlas Stones – Five heavy round stones increasing in weight from 170–225 kilograms (375–496 lb) are lifted and set on platforms.

Another has them attached to a rope which is attached to a vehicle, while they use another rope to pull themselves down the course. One variation sees the competitors pull the object with a rope toward them.

Vehicle pull – Vehicles such as transport trucks, trams, boxcars, buses, or planes are pulled across a 100-foot (30 m) course as fast as possible.

The event is scored based on the number of implements completed, then the fastest time.

Press Medley – Athletes must press various equipment overhead such as a log, axle, circus barbell, and giant dumbbell.

The Shield Carry can be its own event or be used alongside the super yoke.

Shield Carry – Athletes compete in carrying a 'shield' usually weighing between 160–180 kilograms (350–400 lb) for distance or a set distance for the fastest time.

The uprights each have a heavy weight attached to them, such as a refrigerator or diesel engine, and the competitors must carry the yoke on their shoulders for a short distance.

Super Yoke – Apparatus composed of a crossbar and two uprights.
