Grip / Hold Events

Strongman events are classified into categories based on the type of strength they test. Categories include pressing events (Log Press, Axle Press), deadlift variations, carrying events (Farmer's Walk, Yoke Walk), loading events (Atlas Stones, Sandbag), and grip-intensive challenges. Each category demands specific training approaches and techniques.
