Aug 21

A previous World Championships can be seen in the below video. For more information on how you qualify, compete in and what to expect for the World Championships in Obetz, Ohio, USA, please read on below.

To Qualify and compete:

The top ten Monster Totals from each of the 10 classes (plus Adaptive classes) will receive invitations to compete
You have to compete in the weight class you qualified in. Due to the large number of athletes waiting for a spot in each weight class, we can not allow you to move weight classes.
This year is the first year adaptive classes for Women and Men at the World Championships
This year is also the first year for u52.5kgs and u70kgs weight classes to be included in the World Championships
If someone does not take up their invitation to compete, the next person in the rankings will be given the offer. So after the first person says no to their invitation, the person that came 11th in that class will then receive the invitation to bring the numbers back up to 10 per weight class. This will continue down the rankings until all ten spots are filled for each of the 10 weight classes. This also requires you to be fair to those coming in the rankings after you. If you don’t plan on taking your spot, you need to let us know so that we can give the next athlete in line as much time as possible to plan their entry to the competition.
The top 3 from each weight class from the 2019 World Championships have also qualified and will have spots held for them at the 2022 World Championships. This gives a potential of 13 spots for each of the 8 weight classes and 2 masters classes (not including the new classes for this year).
There will be a fee to participate in the Static Monsters World Championships, outlined further down this page. (early entries are up to 50% cheaper)
There is no currently confirmed prize money for the event (as of August 2021). If sufficient sponsorship of the event is to happen then prize money will be allocated to the classes.

Competition Equipment:

Equipment will be confirmed closer to the date of the event.
Adaptive Athletes will have suitable equipment available, seated athletes will not be doing a regular seated deadlift. It will be a Lever Lift – as designed by Chris Vachio and shared by Static Monsters earlier in 2020.

Weighing In:

Competitors will have the opportunity to weigh in on the day and up to 24 hours from the time of the first lift of the event. Competitors will have to weigh in, in Kilograms under their allotted weight class. For example if you compete as an Under 62.5kg woman, you will have to weigh in at 62.49kgs or less. However for 2020 the as the event is in the USA, the weights and body-weights will all be in the corresponding weight in the imperial system (pounds).

Scoring:

Scoring will work the same as your local Static Monsters qualifying event. A combined total of your best Log Press and best Deadlift within your class.
Attempts will have to be in 5 pound jumps at a minimum.
