The Crucifix Hold, a challenging event in strongman competitions, requires competitors to extend their arms sideways, holding heavy objects—often large hammers or other weights—at arm’s length, forming a “T” shape with their body. Athletes aim to sustain this position as long as possible, showcasing their arm strength and endurance. As fatigue sets in, the arms may gradually lower or the object may touch a block, pad, or the floor, making this a test of both physical and mental resilience, with victory awarded to the participant who can endure the longest.
