Official standard
What counts
Every attempt is reviewed by a human judge. Only valid repetitions count. Exercises must be performed using bodyweight only, without additional weight or assistance.
Pull-ups
- 01Overhand grip and full arm extension at the bottom.
- 02Chin must clearly rise above the bar.
- 03No kipping or deliberate use of momentum. Small natural leg movements are allowed.
- 04Rest: maximum 6 seconds in the bottom dead hang, with arms fully extended.
- 05Releasing the bar, touching the floor with your feet or using assistance ends the attempt.
Push-ups
- 01Keep your body reasonably straight, without significant hip sagging or piking.
- 02Depth: elbows bent to approximately 90° or deeper. Chest-to-floor contact is not required.
- 03A low depth marker (e.g. a bottle) is allowed, but must not support your bodyweight. The required depth must still be reached.
- 04Full natural arm extension at the top.
- 05Rest: maximum 3 seconds at the top, with arms extended.
- 06Dropping onto your knees or resting your torso on the floor ends the attempt.
Dips
- 01Perform on parallel bars.
- 02Depth: elbows bent to approximately 90°.
- 03Arms nearly straight at the top. A slight natural elbow bend is acceptable, but clearly incomplete extension is not.
- 04Rest: maximum 3 seconds in the top support position.
- 05No assistance or deliberate momentum. Touching the floor with your feet ends the attempt.
Rest and recording
- When does rest start? When you reach the permitted position: at the bottom for pull-ups, and at the top for push-ups and dips. Rest ends when you begin the next repetition.
- Incomplete movements or false starts do not reset the timer. Exceeding the limit ends the attempt, but earlier valid repetitions still count.
- Record the entire attempt in one continuous, unedited video. Your body and full range of motion must remain visible.
- Videos must be recorded within the last 30 days.
Invalid repetitions are not counted, but they do not invalidate earlier valid repetitions. A judge confirms the final result.
