Regional qualifier applications now open.First qualifier: Dubai, 19 September 2026.

Before you ask

Is the application the 45-minute session?

Yes. The questionnaire is only the first half. The application itself is the full 45 minutes, filmed continuously on two cameras and sent to us unedited. Nothing is decided on your numbers alone — they exist to scale your circuit so the footage means something.

What actually happens in those 45 minutes?

Continuous, non-stop high-endurance work alternating between assault bike, rower and lifting intervals scaled to your 1RM. No programmed rest, no scheduled breaks, and the clock never stops.

Can I stop the recording, or film it in parts?

No. One continuous take from the first rep to the last, on both cameras. A cut is the one thing that voids a submission, because the whole point of the record is that nothing was edited out.

What if I fail part-way through?

Send it anyway. Stopping is visible, it is scored, and how you handle the last ten minutes tells us more than a clean run does. A failed 45 is a submission. An edited 45 is not.

Where do I film it, and what do I need?

Film the qualifier application at your own gym or local box — you only need to capture the full performance continuously, following the submission guidelines. If you advance, we fly you to the competition location at our expense. Everything major is provided at the venue: assault bike, rower and weights loaded to your 1RM. Bring your own lifting shoes, chalk, and any belt, sleeves or accessories you train in.

Do I have to pay to travel?

No. The application is filmed where you already train. If you advance to a qualifier, your travel to the competition location is at our expense.

How do I send it?

Casting replies to your questionnaire on WhatsApp and takes it from there, including how to get a file that size to us. Do not upload anything publicly before you have spoken to them.

Who sees the footage?

Judges review it against rep depth, lockout and pace. Anything beyond judging is set out in the participation terms you sign before competing, and nothing is published outside what you have agreed to there.

What does it cost me?

Filming and submitting the application costs nothing but your time — you do it at your own gym, on your own equipment. If you advance, travel to the qualifier is at our expense. Whether the qualifier stage itself carries an entry fee is one of the things still being settled, and it is published in full before the first qualifier rather than sprung on anyone who has already applied.

What do I actually win?

A place in the next phase. Clearing a regional qualifier puts you in the finale, which is the point of the whole structure. What the finale carries beyond the place itself has not been decided, and we would rather say so than invent a prize.

Where are the events held?

Regional qualifiers in Dubai, then Moscow and Prague, with the finale in Bali. Named venues go up before each event opens. You do not travel for the application itself — that is filmed where you already train.

Who is running this?

The organisers, the judging panel and the operating company are listed on the format page. This is the first season and nothing on this site claims a history it does not have.

Has this event happened before?

No. This is the inaugural season and the first qualifier is Dubai on 19 September 2026. There are no past results, no previous winners and no alumni, and any site telling you otherwise about an event this new is worth a second look.

Still unclear? Start the application and ask casting directly.

Think you qualify?

45 minutes of continuous, non-stop high-endurance work.

Duration

45 minutes

Continuous, non-stop high-endurance work. No programmed rest and no scheduled breaks.

Load

Scaled to you

Working weights are set from the 1RM figures in your application, so failure is cardiovascular rather than a rigged bar.

Engine

Assault bike + rower

Interval work between lifts. The clock never stops for either.

Standards

Strict

Rep depth, lockout and pace are judged. Short reps do not count.

Record

Two cameras

Continuous from the first rep to the last, with nothing edited out.
