To ensure fairness, consistency, and transparency across our leaderboards, all submitted lifts must follow the guidelines below:
Video Requirements 🎥
- Lifts must be clearly filmed from start to finish.
- The implement must be weighed on camera, either before or after the lift, and included in the same video.
- Your bodyweight must also be shown on camera (e.g. on scales).
- If no bodyweight is submitted, you'll be entered into the Open category.
- Submissions without video will not be accepted.
Universal Lift Rules ✅
- Only powdered chalk (magnesium carbonate) is allowed.
- Liquid chalk, tacky, resin, or adhesives are not permitted.
- No wrist wraps, finger tape, bandages, or straps are allowed.
- Implements must remain level — intentional tilting will result in disqualification.
Specific lift rules for each implement will be available on their individual leaderboard or event page. (Link coming soon)
Lifting Height Requirements ↕️
- In standard competition, most lifts are required to reach crossbar height, which is usually between 4 and 12 inches.
- For Gym Lifts, we allow lockout lifts that clearly go above the required height. For example, if someone lifts a Pinch Block – 60mm to a high lockout (typically performed to a 6" crossbar), this is acceptable.
- As long as the weight is lowered down in a controlled manner, the lift will be validated.
Resubmissions & Lift History 🔁
