This is where it all starts for our pro-strongmen.

2. The Car Deadlift Hold
This will be a head to head event involving two 1 tonne cars which will be lifted and held of the floor with straps for as long as possible. This not only involves strength but pure guts to fight through the pain as the 1 tonne pressure bears down on the body.

3. St Patricks Trail Carry
A huge Celtic Cross weighing in excess of 200kg will be picked up in the arms of the competitor and carried for a far as possible up a 20 metre set course. A real lung busting event were not only strength but fitness is the key.

4. The Finn McCool Giant Fishing Pole
This is a maximum deadlift event were are famous Giant Finn McCools fishing pole will have increasing weights added to the end of the pole to simulate the Jurassic fish being landed, with our dinosaur fish being hungrily dangled on the end of the pole. A great maximum test and a great event.

5. Beaghmore Atlas Stone Lift
Five stones weighing from 85kg to a massive 145kg will be lifted onto a wall of varied heights. This will be the toughest of all the strength events. Stone lifting is the oldest strength test known to strongman, an overall body challenge.

6. New Event - The Culcullen Warrior Prince Push & Pull Medley

This will be a 2 laned event to fight for the title, competitors will kick off by lifting and pressing a huge 64kg Thomas Inch Dumbell above their heads. Competitors will then move on to a 200kg power stairs block that must be pulled onto an 18 inch platform. Competitors will then move on to a 130kg axle press and then they will pull a second power stairs block weighing 225kg on to an 18 inch platform. Then finally competitors will press a mighty 140kg log above their heads and pull a 250kg (quarter of a tonne) block onto the final 18 inch platform.
