Varsity Morley | October 18–19

$55 entry fee (includes limited edition shirt)

WA’S BIGGEST STATIC SHOWDOWN IS BACK

Three lifts. Two days. One shot at legacy.


You weren’t handed strength—you built it. Now it’s time to show it.

This October, we’re bringing the chaos to the best sports bar this side of the country.
Varsity Morley.

Expect the loudest cheers, the heaviest lifts, and the kind of vibes you can’t fake.

You’ll witness WA’s strongest athletes (and future legends) go head-to-head in log press, deadlift, and stone loading. Whether you’re here to lift or to lose your voice cheering, this is the show you don’t want to miss.

🎽 All registered athletes score a limited-edition “Built Not Born” Strength Challenge comp shirt.
💵 Entry is just $55 — which, let’s be honest, is what the shirt would cost anyway. So even if you just came for the tee... we support that.
⚠️ Spots are capped and will sell out fast.

Come for the comp. Stay for the feed, the beers, and the energy.
This is the Strength Challenge. Built. Not Born.

A WEEKEND OF STRENGTH, SHOWDOWN & COMMUNITY

Witness an Unforgettable Display of Strength, Legacy & Lift-Off

Step into the arena as WA Strongman unleashes the Strength Challenge 2025—a two-day storm of power, pressure, and pride.

Watch lifters go head-to-head in max-effort showdowns, where every log press, deadlift, and stone load is a battle built from years of hard work—not talent alone.

Whether you're chasing a record, cheering from the crowd, or just here to soak in the chaos with a burger in hand—this is WA’s ultimate test of what it means to be Built Not Born.
