2025 ASC Overhead Gauntlet Recap

Athletes competed in reverse order. The dumbbell and stone lift were worth one point each, the heavier log was worth 10 points, and the lighter log was worth one point.

Boudreault was first to the stage and missed two attempts with the dumbbell before rechalking for a successful third lift. He dumped the stone press twice before time elapsed.

Guardione appeared to lift the dumbbell on his first attempt, but the judge did not feel he had established control. His second attempt, however, was clean. He failed to lift the stone and matched Boudreault with a single point.

Stoltman was third to the stage after landing eighth in the Elephant Bar Deadlift. The dumbbell wasn’t an issue, nor was the stone. He chalked up before going to the Austrian Oak (heavier log) but lost his balance on the first attempt. He failed his second attempt before locking out a rep with the lighter log.
