Day One (October 31st)
Event One — Wagon Wheel Axle Deadlift
The first event of the 2025 Rogue Invitational Strongman & Strongwoman competition was the Deadlift. Specifically, the athletes performed the exercise on an elevated setup with an Axle barbell. Everyone was given three attempts to achieve their one-rep max, which was then compared with the scores achieved by other athletes to complete the ranking and point distribution systems.

Her lift was simply immaculate, as she maintained perfect technique and easily reached lockout.
Jennifer Lyle and Andrea Thompson tied for second place, with both athletes reaching their limits at 700 pounds (317.5 kilograms).
