2024 Lone Star Celtic Strongman Competition

Athletes will press a series of natural stones overhead in the allotted time, beginning with the lightest stone. The athlete will start behind the stone and await the judge’s press command. Upon the go command, the athlete will press each stone once, beginning with the lightest stone, moving on to the next stone, and so on, until reaching the final heaviest stone. The athletes’ attempt ends when the time cap expires, or the athlete has elected to stop. Athletes may not “skip" a stone and must press in succession. The athlete who has pressed the most stones in the allotted time frame will win the event. Ties will be broken by time.
