This is an extreme sport for extreme athletes, held at the Barn in the dead of winter, with men lifting and carrying objects the average gym-goer couldn’t move.

Most of the guys coming to compete don’t make a living doing this — it’s their hobby. They do it simply because they like to lift and carry things that most people wouldn’t want to move with a forklift.
