WHO IS IT FOR?
From beginners to developing intermediate athletes, this competition is designed for you. We encourage anyone with a passion for training and a willingness to challenge themselves to take part. While some of the listed weights may appear daunting at first glance, the events are structured to build in difficulty, allowing competitors to perform strongly at earlier stages and push their limits as the challenge progresses.
Do not be discouraged by the heaviest weights shown for medleys or carries. These top loads are intentionally demanding, designed to separate performances at the highest level and to provide a clear goal to work toward in your training. Whether you complete every stage or simply achieve a new personal milestone on the day, Soul Strong is about stepping forward, testing yourself and celebrating progress.
