🚨 IT'S ALMOST TIME... JUST 24 HOURS TO GO! 🚨

Tomorrow, the waiting is over.

The Elephant Bar Deadlift Day 2026 is here!

The question is... who will rise to the occasion?

Who will pull the biggest deadlift of the day?
Who will earn the title of Elephant Bar Deadlift Day 2026 King and Queen?

The platform is ready. The bar is waiting. Now it's time to make history.

Event Schedule

🕘 9:15 am – Registration & Weigh-In Opens

📝 When signing in, all athletes must nominate their opening lift (first weight).

🏋️ 11:00 am SHARP – LIFTING BEGINS!

Important Information

Masters Ladies & Gents and Open Weight Ladies & Gents do not need to weigh in, but must still register, sign in, and nominate their opening lift before the 10:00 am cut-off.

All other weight classes must complete the weigh-in, sign in, and nominate their opening lift.

To keep the competition running smoothly, we ask all athletes to be ready when called, follow the officials' instructions, and respect the event schedule.

Please respect the venue, your fellow athletes, our volunteers, loaders, and officials throughout the day.

Remember: The referee's decision is FINAL.

Tomorrow is more than just another competition. It's a day to test your strength, push your limits, chase personal bests, break records, and leave everything on the platform.

Whether you're lifting, loading, officiating, or cheering from the crowd—thank you for being part of what promises to be an unforgettable day.

Good luck to every athlete. Lift hard. Lift strong. Make every pull count.

See you all on the platform!

PJ & AJ

⏳️DAY 1 OF 50 TOWARD AN U80KG DEADLIFT WORLD RECORD! AT 46 YEARS OF AGE⏳️
26th of July in Carrick-on-Suir at AJ Cronin's Strength and Fitness, I take a crack at my 11th World Record, only a week after my 46th Birthday.
..
This time on a 30mm 10ft Elephant/Kratos bar. Capable of a 4x+ bw unlimited conventional deadlift? Come take me on, the more the merrier. I'm planning a couple more select deadlift only events like this one before I finally call it a day on UK and Irish soil. I'll be posting every day until the event over the next 7 weeks, sharing my training, diet, supplementation, suit tech and other related topics. Have I still got it in my mid 40s against gents half my age? guess we'll see. This blog is for my own accountability and your entertainment. Thanks for following along, help me with my reach and promotion by liking, sharing and asking questions in the comments. Cheers you absolute legends🫡 taken in AJ Fitness by @pkennedy401
