America's Strongest Athlete w/ Disabilities 2025
This is the 10th Anniversary of the competition, so I'm trying a new wrinkle and adding a novice division. If you want to enter as a novice, seated is LW and standing is HW. The weights will be lighter and the prizes smaller, though still cool. No championship belts for the novice division.
​
What counts as adaptive? Standing classes are generally BTK amputees and visually impaired athletes, although an ATK amputee with good stability and mobility can compete here, too. 1-armed, as the name implies, means only one arm is functional. Seated classes are generally ATK amputees or SCIs affected from the waist down (i.e. still have abdominal control). Seated neuro is generally CP, Spina Bifida, MS, or an SCI where the nervous system/muscular control above the waist is compromised. If you're not sure, email me and we'll figure it out.
This is a United States Strongman sanctioned event. USS membership is required of all athletes. Membership can be purchased ONLY here: https://www.unitedstatesstrongman.com/uss-membership
