They are as follows:The details of the above events, such as the weight of the logs, load on the barbell, implements for the load & push, or weight of the stones, have not been released at the time of this article’s publication.
Log Press Ladder
With the Stoltman brothers (Tom and Luke) noticeably absent from the 2023 ESM roster, several of the events, such as the log press and castle stones, are more in flux. Luke Stoltman is known for his overhead strength, but without him in Leeds, other elite pressers, like Graham Hicks, can step into the spotlight.
Pavlo Nakonechnyy is another standout in pressing events. However, it is unclear at the time of this article’s publication if Nakonechnyy will be 100 percent physically healed from the 2023 Arnold Strongman Classic by the time the 2023 ESM rolls in.
Nakonechnyy injured his knee in Columbus, OH, during the Elephant Bar Deadlift event but continued in the competition. He stumbled out of the Timber Frame during the final carry event due to further tweaking of said injury.
Deadlift for Reps
The Deadlift for Reps event will likely be the most competitive of the five events. The roster is stacked with powerhouse monsters in the event, including Novikov, who holds the tire deadlift world record; Rauno Heinla, who holds the silver dollar deadlift world record; Konstantine Janashia, Adam Bishop, and more.
