I thought about this while reading that thread with the one guy who knows everything about powerlifting and bodybuilding. If you could create a new competition or sport, with the only requirement being that it has to incorporate lifting weights as a major component, what would you put together?

Unicycle deadlifting [1000049680] If you’ve ever Deadlifted and ridden a unicycle you are a unicycledeadliftist, even if you’ve never actually done the two together or competed a UDLF (unicycledeadliftist federation) competition.

I really like strongman for a GPP test. To make it different from strongman, I would include a jump test or a sprint test. So we would have 4 lifting/moving events announced close to comp (all pulled from the strongman/street lifting world). Probably before those events is where we would put eithe…

Getting heavy grocery bags from the car into the house. Obviously anyone who has ever lifting anything or walked (run?) at a brisk pace has been training for this without even realizing it. S

Obviously this isnt new… [1000005458]

If it didn’t have the world’s stupidest weight class rules, I would have dug Strengthlifting. Squat, strict press and conventional deadlift for max single. Solid idea.

I really liked the Tactical Strength Challenge that StrongFirst used to put on. 1RM Deadlift, AMRAP Pullup, and a 5 minute KB Snatch test. Felt like a really good combination of absolute strength, relative strength, and strength endurance. Just never got popular for whatever reason. I did it in 2022…

Good point, and more importantly, would you consider people that do this recreationally, or who simply perform such training without competing in judged events actual athletes under the sport or not? S

You’re gatekeeping. I identify as a grocery bag carrier because I used to carry my lunch bag my mom packed for me. It’s food in a bag. Therefore I trained as a bag carrier, so I am internally validated as a bag carrier. And no, you can’t see pics of any of this.

What new lifting would you invent?
