The Spooky Strength Showdown is a competition consisting of three lifts:

• A three-attempt powerlifting deadlift
• Strict pull-ups or chin-ups for max reps or flexed-arm hang for time
• Kettlebell snatches (or single arm swings) for max reps in a 5-minute time period

These lifts test a unique trade-off between absolute strength, relative strength, and general endurance. While larger participants have an advantage in the deadlift, lighter participants have an advantage in pull-ups, and the kettlebell snatch tests all participants equally.

The events are performed in the following order: deadlift, Pull-ups/Flexed Arm Hang, KB Snatches/single arm swings. 

The rules of the Spooky Strength Showdown are basic and straightforward. A brief rules meeting will precede each event. Athletes must ask any relevant questions at this time. The judge may, at his/her discretion, disallow any practice that he/she deems unsafe. Please know we will meet you with where you're at that day with something that is comparable to what the "rules" state.
