Synergi Weightlifting Club<\/a> will be hosting the championship on the 10th<\/sup> December in Cardiff.<\/p>\n

Men and women will compete in either a log lifting or deadlifting category.<\/p>\n

Personal trainers, strength coaches and strength sport enthusiasts make up the weightlifting club.<\/p>\n

Assistant manager at Synergi, Rhys Jones<\/a>\u00a0tells Alt.Cardiff that the event is split in to two Strongman events: The Loglift and The Deadlift.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Loglift involves the clean and press of a loadable log whereby the lifter cleans the log from the floor,\u201d he says.\u00a0Rhys explains that the deadlift: \u201cis the ultimate display of strength. The person who lifts the most weight off of the floor is the victor.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is the first competition that Synergi have held that is of this kind.<\/p>\n

Being a fan of the Strongman sport was what inspired Rhys to put on this event.<\/p>\n

He explains: \u201cThe Loglift and Deadlift are the keystones that encapsulate all Strongman events.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAttracting athletes from all over Britain to compete under one roof and test their strength will only do good for the sport,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

Rhys tells Alt.Cardiff what the competitors go through in order to train for the championship:<\/p>\n

\u201cHell.\u201d<\/p>\n

In order to perform to the best of their ability, people work hard and push their bodies.<\/p>\n

Dean Coley, who is taking part in the Synergi championship, has said that this is not his first competition.<\/p>\n

\u201cI started competing in 2014, doing six competitions that year,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

Dean explains that leading up to a competition, he focuses on specific events that he will be taking part in.<\/p>\n

\u201cI compete in the U105 category,\u201d he says, \u201cI have been training a solid five times a week for over a year now.\u201d<\/p>\n
