Are you a dog-lover? Do you love to deadlift?
If you answered yes to both of those questions, this is the event for you!
Warpath Strength Pull For Paws is a partner deadlift event where two athletes will deadlift a custom-made axle bar loaded with truck tires and weight plates for as many reps as possible in one minute. Teams may be two male athletes, two female athletes or one male and one female athlete. This event is perfect for athletes who compete in strongman, powerlifting, and CrossFit.

The different weight "classes" are aligned only with the weight of the bar and have nothing to do with the weight of the athletes. So, there will be no need for any of the athletes to weigh in and "make weight." The bar weights will be set as follows:
Lightweight = 400#
Middleweight = 800#
Heavyweight = 1,200#
This is a fundraiser to support K9s For Warriors, the nation’s largest provider of trained Service Dogs to military veterans suffering from PTSD, traumatic brain injury and/or military sexual trauma. For more information, please visit their website at: www.k9sforwarriors.org.
I've set a target fundraising goal of $5,000 and I am asking that each athlete please help me raise $100 in donations from their family and friends via a fundraising page that K9s For Warriors will set up as we get closer to the event.
This is an unsanctioned charity competition. It's just for fun. There are no qualifying spots for any national championships. If you love dogs and love to deadlift, this event is for you.
