Exercise | Action | Prohibited | Note |
Sand socks
| The projectiles are placed behind the starting line. The athlete stands by the projectile, hand above the bag. On the judge’s signal, the athlete picks up the bag and covers a 20m distance, fully crossing the finish line with the bag, returns to the start, and repeats the task for as many projectiles as are at the starting position. The winner is the athlete who completes the given distance in the shortest time. If the athlete fails to meet the time limit, the covered distance is recorded. | Use of adhesives | The finish is considered the transfer of two bags across the finish line and the athlete’s entire body crossing the finish line. If the athlete does not complete the task within the time limit, the judges will measure the distance covered. |
Axel for reps
| The projectile is on the floor. The athlete approaches the loaded projectile. On the judge’s signal, the athlete lifts it from the floor, securing overhead for (1 sec) with elbows and knees fully extended, feet in line. After the judge’s command, the athlete returns the projectile to the starting position. The winner is the athlete who completes the most repetitions. | Not accompanying the projectile down to knee level during lowering. Using padding under the shirt (performing in a single shirt is allowed). Bouncing the exercise off the platform. | In case of elbow joint injuries and inability to fully extend them, the athlete must inform the judge before starting. |
Farmer’s walk | The projectiles are placed behind the starting line. On the judge’s signal, the athlete lifts the suitcases and covers 20-meter sections, navigating around markers. The athlete who completes the designated distance in the shortest time wins. If the athlete does not finish within the time limit, the covered distance is recorded. | Using straps Advancing the projectile along the track (the athlete receives a 5-second penalty for each attempt to advance) | The athlete is allowed to set the projectiles on the ground any number of times within the time limit. Advancement is considered touching the track with the projectile while moving it more than 50 cm. |
Dumbble for reps
| The projectile is on the floor. The athlete approaches the loaded projectile. On the judge’s signal, the athlete lifts it from the floor, securing it overhead with one arm fully extended (1 sec hold), with elbows and knees straightened, feet parallel. After the judge’s signal, return the projectile to the starting position (S.P.). The winner is the athlete who records the most repetitions within the allotted time limit. | Lifting with both hands from the shoulder. Supporting or assisting the lift with a belt. For the first incorrect drop of the projectile not onto a special mat – a warning, for the second – the repetition is not counted. After securing, throwing the projectile over the head is not allowed; such action will result in the repetition not being counted. | The judge may move around the athlete to always be in the athlete’s field of vision. For the next lift, the athlete must lower the dumbbell below knee level, not necessarily placing it on the floor. The athlete may lift the dumbbell to the shoulder with two hands, but from the shoulder, the lift must be with one hand. |
Axle Deadlift for reps
| The projectile is on the floor. The athlete approaches the loaded projectile and grabs it with any grip. On the judge’s signal, the athlete stands up to full extension of the torso and knees, pulling the shoulders back. After the judge’s signal, the athlete returns the projectile to the starting position (S.P.) and performs the next repetition. The winner is the athlete who records the most repetitions within the allotted time limit. | Using straps, suits; Wrapping tape around fingers; Bouncing off the platform; Lowering or lifting the projectile before the judge’s signal. | The judge gives two commands: “UP” – when to lift, and “DOWN” – when to lower. A lift performed without a command is not counted. It is mandatory to accompany the projectile in hands when lowering to knee level. |
