Equipment
Do you have access to a gym with strongman equipment, then they may have something that suits you to train on for the event. Have a look here at the Equipment regulations, you might find you have the exact equipment needed to train on. This doesn’t mean you specifically need that equipment to train on, many athletes do incredibly well without the exact equipment.

You have decided you want to have a go at competing, you are comfortable with the rules and the log and axle deadlift. Before signing up you may want to plan which class you want to compete in. We have the opportunity for you to compete in many classes, no matter where you are in the world to give you the best level of competition possible.
There are Adaptive classes (standing, seated, One Arm etc), Masters Mens and Womens, plus 5 each of men and women’s weight classes.
Static Monsters Weight Classes
Once the Worldwide event happens, all your rankings are sent in by your local event organiser to the overall Static Monsters event organiser to be compiled. Once they are compiled, all competitors get their world ranking for the class they signed up in roughly a week after they have competed. If you end up doing well and you place in the top then in your class, you will be offered a spot to compete at the Static Monsters World Championships the following year.
