UKRAINIAN STRONGMAN CHAMPIONSHIP FOR MEN AND WOMEN

Strongman was recognized as a sport in Ukraine in 2012. The Ukrainian Strongman Federation has the exclusive and priority right to develop strongman in Ukraine. During this period, the Ukrainian national strongman team has topped the team rankings at the World and European Championships many times, and a large number of world champions are representatives of Ukraine.

However, all past, present, and future world-class strongmen are required to participate in the Ukrainian Strongman Championship.

The first weight listed is for amateur athletes. This means that an athlete can register for one of the weights, but only has one attempt at the competition. The athlete can only choose one weight, and if the attempt is unsuccessful, the result is recorded in the protocol as the final result! In calculating points, preference is given to the heavier weight.

Rules of execution

The shells are placed behind the starting line. The athlete stands next to the shell, holding his hand over the bag.

At the judge’s signal, the athlete lifts the bag and runs 20 meters with it, completely crossing the finish line, returns to the start and repeats the task for all shells at the starting position.

The winner is the athlete who runs the specified distance in the shortest time. If the athlete does not meet the time limit, the distance run is recorded.

Use of adhesives.

The finish is considered achieved when both bags have crossed the finish line and the athlete’s entire body has crossed the finish line. If the athlete has not completed the task within the set time, the judges will measure the distance covered.

After the referee’s starting signal, the athlete lifts the log lift off the floor, holding it above their head (1 sec). Elbows and knees must be straight, feet in line. After the referee’s command, the athlete returns the log to its starting position.

Hold the log lift on your head while pressing it from your chest and lifting both hands off the barbell during the exercise. Be sure to accompany the barbell in your hands as you lower it to knee level. Perform the exercise in a push-off from the platform.

In case of injuries to the elbow joint and inability to fully extend it, the athlete must inform the judge before entering the platform.

The athlete takes the suitcases in both hands and, at the judge’s signal, begins to move forward. At the end of the exercise, the athlete must carry the suitcases completely across the finish line.

Use of straps.
When moving the shot along the track, the athlete receives 5 penalty seconds for each attempt to move it.

The athlete has the right to place the shells on the floor any number of times within the time limit.

The athlete approaches the loaded dumbbell and the athlete’s task is to fix the dumbbell on a straight arm above the head (1 sec fixation), elbows and knees straight, feet parallel. After the referee’s signal, return the dumbbell to the starting position on a special dumbbell cushion. The athlete who holds the dumbbell the most times wins.

Lift with both hands from the shoulder. The first throw of the projectile that does not land on the special cushion results in a warning, the second results in the repetition not being counted. After fixing the projectile, it is forbidden to throw it behind the head; such an action results in the repetition not being counted.

The judge may move around the athlete to remain within the athlete’s field of vision. For the next lift, the athlete must lower the dumbbell below knee level, i.e., it is not necessary to place it on the floor. The athlete may lift the dumbbell to the shoulder with both hands, and from the shoulder with one hand.

The athlete approaches the loaded barbell, grabs it with any grip, and straightens up to fully extend the torso and knee joints, bringing the shoulders back. He waits for the referee’s command: “Down!”, after which he returns to the starting position and performs the next repetition. The athlete who records the highest number of repetitions wins.

The use of straps is prohibited.
Wrapping tape around your fingers.
Be sure to hold the projectile in your hands when lowering it to knee level. Perform the exercise away from the platform.
The use of coveralls is prohibited.

The judge gives the command “Up” before each axel jump.
