EXERCISE | ACTION | PROHIBITED | NOTE |
Tyre flip for time
| The tire starts in a vertical position at the start line. On the judge’s signal, the athlete pushes the tire forward. Once the tire lies flat on the ground, flips are counted. The winner is the athlete who completes the required number of repetitions the fastest. Athletes who fail to flip the tire the required number of times within the time limit will have their score determined by the number of flips completed. | Use of adhesives; If the tire enters on an adjacent lane, the athlete is penalized 5 seconds | A flip is counted when the tire’s plane fully touches the floor. |
Log-lift for reps
| The projectile is on the floor. The athlete approaches the loaded projectile. At the referee’s signal, the athlete lifts it from the floor, securing it above the head (1 sec.). Elbows and knees should be straightened, feet in one line. After the referee’s command, the athlete returns the projectile to its starting position. The winner is the athlete who secures the most repetitions. | Belt loops. Placing the projectile on the head. Throwing the projectile behind. Lowering the projectile not onto special mats. | In case of elbow joint injuries and inability to fully extend, the athlete must inform the judge before the attempt. |
Farmer’s Carry | 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. |
Axel dead lift 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. |
Overhead medley (log-lift+dumbblle+ log-lift+dumbblle +axel)
| Projectiles are on the floor in the sequence they are to be lifted. The athlete starts at the starting line. On the judge’s signal, the athlete must lift each projectile in turn and secure it overhead (1 sec hold), with elbows and knees straightened, feet parallel. After the judge’s signal, return the projectile to the starting position and proceed to the next. The winner is the athlete who completes the specified number of lifts the fastest. Athletes who fail to lift all projectiles within the time limit are scored by the number of successful lifts. | Moving to the next projectile without a confirmed lift of the previous one. Lifting the dumbbell with both hands from the shoulder. For the first 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. Belt loop and buckle in front. | The judge is at the finish line and signals the athlete for a confirmed lift by raising their hand. If an athlete lifts a projectile but drops it without the judge’s command and moves on to the next, a penalty of an additional 5 seconds is added to the final result, or one repetition is deducted if the time limit is exceeded. Lifting the axel is allowed to rest the projectile on the belt. |
Atlas Stones
| The athlete stands at the start line facing the stones arranged on the floor. On the judge’s command, they lift and load a series of rubber balls (diameter 50-55 cm) over bars, from the lightest to the heaviest. The winner is the athlete who completes all lifts the fastest. If the athlete doesn’t meet the time limit, the result is the actual number of balls lifted. | Skipping the sequence of lifting balls; Using glue or other adhesive substances when lifting the rubber balls. | Assistants hold the super yoke (bars) but are not allowed to touch the balls. Only magnesium and leather forearm pads are allowed for handling the rubber balls with a diameter of 55 cm. |
