If your weight class only weight division (Women’s Novice or Masters) then I will open up multiple wight classes with enough sign ups.

Event 1:
Overhead Medley:
At the Start Command, each competitor will have :60 seconds to clean and press an Axle, a Circus Dumbbell, and then a Log for reps. All reps will be lifted from the floor to an overhead position and will not be complete until given a down command from the judge. You must clean each rep with the Log. A drop from overhead disrespect of equipment or any other blatant safety issues will result in an immediate zero in the event.
Equipment Allowed; Knee Sleeves, , Knee Wraps, Elbow Sleeves, Soft Belt, Hard Belt, Grip Shirt, Wrist Wraps
Event 2:
Car Deadlift; Max Reps :60 seconds:
At the Start Command, each competitor will have :60 seconds to deadlift their vehicle as many times as possible. A Rep WILL NOT COUNT without being given a down command by the judge. A Rep WILL NOT COUNT if the 60 seconds expire prior to being given a down command.
Before you ask me the weight or type of car note that there’s no actual way to give an accurate number and it would be a guess at best. We’re looking to make the weight appropriately heavy for the weight class. Novice women MAY have a frame deadlift to avoid zeroes
Equipment Allowed; Knee Sleeves, , Knee Wraps, Elbow Sleeves, Soft Belt, Hard Belt, Wrist Wraps, Straps, Deadlift Suit
Event 3:
Stix and Stone Husafell Carry; Max Distance:

Get air under the stone = 1 Point
Lap the Stone = 2 Points

Any Combination counts (ex. Attempt 1 to lap, Attempt 2 to Lap, Attempt 3 Air Underneath =5 Points)
Any amount of distance beats point combinations
