Deadlift Ladder

To open the competition, the Deadlift Ladder tested raw lower-body strength and lifting technique under fatigue. Athletes had to complete four increasingly heavier deadlifts in the fastest possible time. The bars ranged from demanding to near maximal loads.

Shield Carry

Next, the Shield Carry brought core strength and grip endurance into focus. Competitors carried a heavy shield for maximum distance without setting it down. Every meter gained added pressure on the lungs and arms.

This event shifted the momentum slightly. Hadley’s dominance boosted her overall score. Meanwhile, Underdown’s close finish helped her maintain her edge. Fatigue, however, was beginning to show for some.

Super Yoke

For the third challenge, athletes tackled the Super Yoke. This event demanded both speed and composure while racing with a massive frame on their backs. Precision footwork and upper-body control were critical.

🏴 Rebecca Roberts delivered the standout performance, completing the course in 10.9 seconds. 🇬🇧 Andrea Thompson and 🇬🇧 Lucy Underdown rounded out the top three with 13.52 and 14.48 seconds, respectively. Other competitors struggled to keep pace or failed to finish.

This was a crucial turning point. Roberts surged in the standings. However, Underdown’s top-three consistency kept her in contention for the title. Mistakes proved costly for others in the middle of the pack.

Log Lift

Now, attention turned to overhead strength in the Log Lift. Athletes had one minute to clean and press a heavy log as many times as possible. This event favored those with explosive upper-body strength.

🇬🇧 Andrea Thompson dominated with eight clean reps. 🇬🇧 Lucy Underdown followed with six reps, showing endurance and power. 🏴 Rebecca Roberts held on with three reps to keep herself in podium contention.

This event shook the standings yet again. Thompson moved up but still trailed Underdown. Meanwhile, athletes who couldn’t lift the log missed out on crucial points. One final test remained.

In the end, Underdown’s second-place finish in the medley sealed her win. Roberts and Hadley rounded out the top three. After five events, Underdown emerged as Britain’s strongest woman.
