The strongest men and women met at City Park on Saturday (May 14) for the first annual 麻豆精选鈥檚 Strongest weightlifting competition.
Participants in the events were vying for positions to go to the B.C. provincial qualifiers that take place later this year.
In the first challenge, the log lift, men and women stood up front and centre in front of a crowd of a couple hundred people. Competitors had three chances to properly lift an attainable weight for them over their head.
While there were no provincial records broken in the log lift, the largest lift was 280 pounds.

Animosity went out the window as through the log lift, competitors were all cheering for each other.
Other events throughout the day were the sandbag medley, stone to shoulder, a farmer鈥檚 carry, and a truck lift.
Throughout the day, 34 competitors competed through five different events. While the event is to dictate the qualifiers, the one who is crowned 麻豆精选鈥檚 Strongest will move onto Nationals for a chance to gain their professional card.
