Day Two
Event Four — Max Log Lift
The fourth event was all about raw overhead pressing power, with athletes having multiple attempts to achieve a one-rep max on the Log Lift. The weight of the log gradually increased with each round, meaning that the last man/woman standing took the event win.

The battle for first place in the women’s division turned out to be much more unpredictable, since a number of athletes achieved massive lifts in their pursuit for first place. The winning number came out to 260 pounds (117.9 kilograms), but it was achieved by two women, Jennifer Lyle and Kira Wrixon.

The weight of the Yoke was 1,000 pounds (453.6 kilograms) for men and 600 pounds (272.2 kilograms) for women. The distance they had to cover came out to 50 feet.
