Movements

The lifts will be performed in the following sequence, Strict Press, Front Squat and Sumo Deadlift


Strict Press

  1. Athlete must take the bar out of the rack in the front rack, unsupported and without assistance - they must also re-rack the barbell without assistance.
  2. The acceptable body position for the one repetition is as follows: 
  3. Knees, and hips must remain locked out for the entire lift - if it is deemed the legs or hips have assisted during the press then the lift will not count
  4. The lift starts with the bar in contact with and supported by the shoulders. If an athlete is unable to support the barbell in contact with the shoulders they may support it with the arms only. Any downward motion of the barbell prior to the press will be considered bouncing and the lift will not count.
  5. The athlete will press the bar to the overhead position
  6. The heels must remain in contact with the floor during the press - stepping forwards or backwards during the lift will result in a no rep, 
  7. The athlete must show a moment of control in the overhead position before returning the bar to the shoulders
  8. The overhead / finish position will be as follows;
    * Bar directly overhead or slightly behind the body
    * Elbows fully extended
    * Hips fully extended
    * Legs fully extended


Front Squat 

  1. Barbell begins in the squat rack.

  3. Arms may be in a traditional front rack position or crossed, as long as the barbell is resting on the front of the shoulders
  4. After unracking the bar the athlete must step back to begin the squat
  5. The athlete must squat to a depth BELOW PARALLEL where the hip crease is CLEARLY below the top of the knee with the barbell controlled in a front rack position
  6. The athlete must then stand, without assistance to a position where the knees and hips are fully extended with the barbell supported in the front rack position
  7. The athlete must rerack the barbell without assistance to complete the lift

Video Submissions

For this challenge, athletes should submit 3 separate videos. 1 video for each movement. Videos shot with a fisheye lens or similar lens may be rejected due to the visual distortion these lenses cause. Sound maybe on or off. Be sure the athlete has adequate space to safely complete the movement and clear the area of all extra equipment, people, or other obstructions so that the video is clear. 

NOTE: The athletes first video (strict press) has the added step of weighing and marking each weight and barbell that will be used for the entire challenge. The following two videos (front squat followed by sumo deadlift) do not need to re-validate or remark the weights and bars.


This video should be shot from at a 45 degree angle to the athlete ensuring that the video clearly shows the entire body. Critical items that need to be clearly visible on the video

  1. Weighing, taping and initialing all equipment to be used for the entire challenge 
  2. Digital scale verification using and dumbbell or kettlebell
  3. Clearly show the lifts so that all movement standards can be verified, video must capture the athlete from the feet to the full lockout position.

    * Barbell, to include end caps
    * All weight plates that will be used in their attempt  
    * Both sides of the plates
    * Plates need to clearly have the weights printed on them, and both sides must be displayed to the camera
  3. The athlete will need to step onto the scale to weigh themselves to confirm their weight group. Once the athlete is on the scale, the camera needs to zoom in to clearly show the scale reading.
    * This process needs to start with showing scale verification by placing a kettlebell/dumbbell on the scale and showing the scale reading is correct.
    * This should be done with the athlete wearing all clothing, gear and shoes that will be worn during the competition attempt
  4. The camera should then clearly show each piece of equipment the athlete will use during their challenge being weighed and initialed. All of the following must be shown:
    * The camera must show all weight plates that will be used for all three movements on the scale and show the scale reading for each. The entire scale should be clearly visible to the camera
    * This includes any plates that will be used in the following two movements that are not used for the strict press movement
    * The camera must show the barbell(s) on the scale and show the scale reading
    * As each piece of equipment has been weighed on camera, the athlete must put their initials on it.
    * It is recommended that all equipment have a blank piece of visible tape added to them before filming begins.
    * Required regardless of equipment brand
    * A coach or helper can assist with this process
  5. The camera should then show the bar being racked for the first strict press attempt
    * Clearly show only taped and initialled plates being added to the barbell.

    * Clearly show all weights marked with the tape and athlete initials being added/removed to the camera for each attempt
    * Verbally confirm loads being added/removed
