“I'm working with powerlifter Dan Green to host the 2014 Northern California Strongman Championships and Boss of Mas Wrestling Tournament at Dan's Boss Barbell Club gym in Mountain View, California on Saturday, April 26th,” Clay Edgin told IronMind.

“The strongman contest is open to all amateurs and will feature five events:

    1.    Max Apollon's Axle Clean and Press
    2.    Max Silver Dollar Deadlift
    3.    Farmers Carry / Yoke Zercher Carry Medley
    4.    Truck Pull
    5.    Atlas Stones

“None other than the all-time world record holder himself, Dan Green, will be judging the deadlift event so the competitors better bring their A-game if they want to get the down command from The Boss. I'm still working on getting some more special guest referees. Rumor has it that Odd Haugen Himself will be there to officiate the mas tournament as long as his schedule allows it.

“Immediately following the strongman competition, the Boss of Mas Wrestling Tournament will take place. This will be the first contest in the U.S. to use some of the new weight classes that the International Mas Wrestling Federation ratified into the rules. The weight divisions being contested are:

    •    Men’s LW (under 90kg)
    •    Men’s MW (90kg-105kg)
    •    Men’s MW (105kg-125kg)
    •    Men’s HW (125kg+)
    •    Women’s LW (under 65kg)
    •    Women’s MW (65kg-85kg)
    •    Women’s HW (over 85kg)


“Just a side note that these weight classes aren't ALL the weight classes in the IMWF have designated, but just the ones that we'll contest on that day. I've got some sweet prizes direct from Russia with love for the top finishers in each category,” Edgin said.

And in late-breaking news, earlier this morning Odd Haugen confirmed with IronMind that he will, in fact, be there.  And if you need one more good reason to jump in on the action, IronMind will be adding Captains of Crush grippers to prize list for the winner of each category in the Boss of Mas Wrestling Tournament.
