STATIC MONSTERS RULES
– Athlete nominates their opening attempt for both log and deadlift events at the
time of checking for the event.
– Athlete cannot drop their nominated weight after a failed attempt or a completed
attempt.
– No minimum weight increase. This is due to international events crossing over to
lbs or kgs.
THE LOG LIFT
(Men 12”, Women 10”)
*opening weight 165# and 110# respectively
– Athlete will have 60 seconds to complete the lift after being given the go ahead
from the judge. – The log must be controlled back to the ground. (No Throwing of
the implement). The log does not need to be returned to the chest on the descent,
only controlled to the ground.
-Any dropped lift will result in a failed lift and will not count. If you are told your lift
does not count, you may attempt it again providing you still have time within your
allotted 60 seconds for that particular lift.
– Each athlete has 3 attempts.
– Lift is completed when the judge calls “down”. To receive the “down” call, the lifter
must have knees, hips and shoulders locked out and head “through”.
– If the athlete successfully locks out a rep just before the buzzer but then drops
the implement in an uncontrolled way, the rep will not count.
– Not allowed- Two belts, one above the other on the torso (equivalent to a stepped
setup), is not allowed. A loop in the belt is not allowed. No tacky. No straps. The log
cannot be rested on the top of the head during the lift. It may however be allowed
to touch the head during the upward trajectory.
– Allowed- Chalk is allowed. Belts are allowed, an under belt and an over belt is
allowed. The log can touch, bounce off, rest on the belt during the clean. Wraps
and sleeves are allowed, including “equipped” elbow sleeves. One item per joint. IE
one elbow sleeve, not multiple sleeves on the one elbow. (wraps on elbows aren’t
allowed)
THE DEADLIFT
(Axle bar w/ wagon wheels @ ~16” from bottom of bar )
*opening weight 200#
– A conventional stance deadlift is mandatory. No Sumo stance allowed, no
Jefferson deadlifts or any other variation, conventional deadlift only. Hands must
be outside the knees for the entire duration of the lift.
– Each athlete has 3 attempts.
– 60 seconds to complete the lift after the whistle blows. Lifter can continue to lift
until the full 60 seconds are up.
-No points awarded if no complete lifts are counted
– Lift is completed when the judge calls “down”. To receive the “down” call, the lifter
must have knees, hips and shoulders locked out.

the bar will not be an acceptable lift. No Tacky allowed. No “Eddie Halls” allowed,

Bounce” allowed on any lifts.

ASCENDING YOKE PICK
(6” ascending pick until failure in 60 seconds, 50# jumps)
– Pick heights will be taken at weigh-ins.
– Athlete will begin under the yoke with the bar across their upper back. After the
athlete is given the “lift” command, they will attempt to stand to an upright
position, hips and knees locked out. A “down” command will be given and the
athlete can return the yoke to the ground. The next weight will be loaded onto the
yoke and the “lift” command will again be given. This will continue ascending for
60 seconds or until the athlete is no longer able to lift the weight to a locked out
position.

-Allowed: wrist wraps, sleeves, belts, chalk, grip shirts
**Static Monsters gives new athletes the opportunity to try competing for the first
time without the barrier of having to learn too many events as well as offering
experienced athletes some goals to compete for and the opportunity to compete
against the best athletes in the world all under the same conditions and rules
despite being across the world.**
**We have paired Static Monsters events with a third event to sanction it under US
Strongman, Inc. So registrants have a chance to qualify for not only Static
Monsters World Championships 2024 but also USS Nationals 2024.**
