The Frame Carry event in strongman competitions requires athletes to lift and carry a massive frame, typically resembling a large rectangular structure with handles, over a designated distance. Contestants hoist this weighted frame and carry it in a manner that challenges their grip strength, upper body power, and overall stability. The frame carry showcases competitors’ ability to handle and transport unwieldy objects, testing both physical strength and mental resilience as they navigate the course, making it a thrilling and demanding spectacle within strongman competitions. The frame can also be used as a deadllift variation for reps or a hold for time.
