Deadlift Ladder – Event Rules
Athletes will lift three consecutively heavier bars—two Steel Reaper Deadlift Bars and one York 2″ Olympic Strongman Bar axle. The goal? Clean, controlled reps, performed fast.
✅ Rules & Standards:
• 60‑second time cap
• Lift the bars in this order:
1. Steel Reaper Deadlift Bar (Bar 1) – 45 lb
2. Steel Reaper Deadlift Bar (Bar 2) – 45 lb
3. York 2″ Olympic Strongman Bar – 55 lb axle
• Must lift in order only
• Straps allowed (figure 8s or single-loop only)
No Versa Gripps, hooks, or gloves
• Hitching allowed—this is strongman, not PL
• Lockout required: knees and hips locked, shoulders neutral
• Down command needed before drop—early drop = no rep
• Fastest total time to lift all 3 wins (tie-breaker: bodyweight)
⚙️ Equipment Specs:
• Bar 1 & Bar 2: Steel Reaper Deadlift Bar
• Bar 3 (axle): York 2″ Olympic Strongman Bar
• Plates: calibrated steel from Weight‑It‑Out
• Weights vary by division
