We are dropping the AS title series events this Friday, and it is going to be wild!

We have been dialling these in for a while now, but we figured it's time you all found out.

We are going to play a game - submit your guess for the events at each title below, closest guess for each show wins a prize (if you were part of the planning process, wrong answers only 🤣).

Some events carry across all 3, some are at 2 but not one and some are unique to each show.

Once we release them, and you are frothing, remember you still have 2 comps you can qualify at, ACT Strongest and Worlds Strongest Tasmanian.

Please share and encourage you your mates to guess.

Live in front of 20,000+ people at each show. Live on in front of thousands. 2024 is going off!

Capo War Zone coming to you at
3 lift meet, January 20 2024!
Rego is now open, link in bio!

It's time baby! After MUCH careful thought, we are ready to launch and track records at AS comps. Now there is ALOT to talk about here, too much for an insta post. So check out a link to a blog post (in our stories shortly) if you are keen to learn where we are going with this.

Then a full rules and run down will go onto the AS website in the next 2 weeks in prep for the 2024 season, but we are getting a head start at Vics, where we will set Monster DB AS records.

Often these things will start slow, but consider some of these names competing -

Katie Blunden, Nic Wight, Brice Purton, Camilla Fogagnolo, Carl Sherry, Michael Smits, Em Naismith, Josh Pa***ca, Leigh Shaw, Chantelle Oconnor, Thomas Wren - and there are at least 6 or 7 other names on the list that will suprise us.

I think we should set some good opening lifts 😉

The mythical Mitko DB (120kg empty) sees daylight for the first time since 2020.

Catch all the action both days - if you are local, get there, otherwise, youtube.
