The rules
Short, because a leaderboard nobody trusts is worth nothing.
Plank
Minimum 10 seconds. The coach in the app times the hold and films it.
The movement
- · Forearm plank. Body in a straight line from shoulders to ankles.
- · Knees off the floor. Hips neither sagging nor piked up.
The video
- · One single continuous take. No cuts, no speed-ups, no edits.
- · Your whole body in frame for the whole attempt.
- · The video must be public and stay online. If it disappears, the entry comes down.
- · A running timer visible in frame for the whole attempt: phone, watch, wall clock.
The score
Your time is the time in correct position. The first time your form breaks, the attempt ends.
Push-ups
1-minute window. The coach in the app counts the reps and films the set.
The movement
- · Chest to within a fist of the floor, then arms fully locked out at the top.
- · Body straight from shoulders to ankles: no knees down, no hips leading.
The video
- · One single continuous take. No cuts, no speed-ups, no edits.
- · Your whole body in frame for the whole attempt.
- · The video must be public and stay online. If it disappears, the entry comes down.
- · A running timer visible in frame, so the two-minute window can be checked.
- · Film from the side, so depth and lockout are both visible.
The score
Count the complete reps you finish within two minutes. You can rest inside the window, but the clock does not stop. Half reps do not count.
Pull-ups
1-minute window. The coach in the app counts the reps and films the set.
The movement
- · Dead hang to start: arms fully extended, feet off the ground.
- · Chin clearly above the bar at the top. No kipping, no swinging, no assistance.
The video
- · One single continuous take. No cuts, no speed-ups, no edits.
- · Your whole body in frame for the whole attempt.
- · The video must be public and stay online. If it disappears, the entry comes down.
- · A running timer visible in frame, so the two-minute window can be checked.
- · Film so the bar and your chin are both visible at the top.
The score
Count the complete reps you finish within two minutes. You can rest hanging or on the ground, but the clock does not stop. Half reps do not count.
Everywhere
- 1. One row per person per battle: your best result counts.
- 2. Same result? Whoever posted first ranks higher.
- 3. You need an account to post or to report. Reading never requires one.
- 4. You must be 16 or older.
Wondering how much of this we can actually enforce? Can I fake it? answers it honestly, including the parts we can't catch.
How a number gets on the board
On public battles the coach in the app counts and films the attempt, and the counted number goes on the board straight away. Correct it down and the lower number goes on. Correct it up and the board keeps the counted number while we watch the video for yours. On private battles the numbers are declared, and whoever opened the battle checks them. Any signed-in athlete can report an entry that breaks the rules; three separate reports put it in front of a human.
On safety
These are genuine physical efforts: they load your lower back, shoulders, elbows and core, and pushing to failure carries real risk. This is a challenge board, not a training plan and not medical advice. Stop when your form breaks. If you have any doubt about your health, talk to a doctor before you try.
