( ^ ) Athlete completed this portion of the workout scaled. NOTE: If the athlete completed the OH press with lower weight than scaled weight provided, he/she will be ranked lower.
SCORED POINTS: (*) Athlete completed the workout with one elements scaled. (**) Athlete completed the workout with both elements scaled.
Workout Rules
To be considered for the podium and cash prizes, all competitors in the Balanced Craw Workout 2025 Open must adhere to the following rules:
This is a timed workout. The athlete must engage the barbell and lift off for strict press reps at the start of the clock and begin the pull-ups at the 2:00 mark. Judges are not responsible for calculating timing should the athlete not initiate the workout at the start of the clock.
For the unbroken standing strict press reps:
Competitors must complete unbroken standing reps at the designated weight (115 pounds for men, 75 pounds for women).
Men can scale to 65 and women can scale to 45.
For this movement, unbroken will be defined as a continuous motion while engaging the barbell. At no point during the unbroken strict press reps will the athlete be allowed to stop the movement in the middle of reps.
All unbroken strict press repetitions must demonstrate a full range of motion in which the barbell must touch the athlete’s shoulders/upper chest and a full extension and lockout at the elbow must occur at the top of the movement in the overhead position.
An athlete may not use a bounce from the barbell off of the shoulders/upper chest using any kind of momentum from the legs and hips.
There is a three (3) rep minimum requirement for strict press reps completed.
Camera angle must clearly display the plate being used in order to confirm weight. If the athlete combines multiple plates to reach the designated weight, the plates must be identified (visually and audibly) at the end of the workout video.
For the unbroken strict pull-ups:
Strict pull-ups only, no kipping or butterfly pull-ups. If the feet and knees extend downward while the arms are pulling upward, that will be considered a kipping motion and the rep will NOT count.
For this movement, unbroken will be defined as a single engagement with the pull-up bar. Athlete can pause between reps but must stay on the bar for reps to be considered unbroken.
Palms must face outward, chin must clear the bar at the top of each pull-up, and arms must be fully extended at the bottom of each pull-up.
The scaled option is a dead hang from the pull-up bar, with every 5 seconds counting as a single rep of the pull-up exercise (e.g., a 30-second hold equals 6 pull-ups).
Hand protection is allowed, but athletes may not use any grip enhancement devices.
Camera angle must be facing the athlete and must be higher than ground level in order to clearly show the chin relative to the bar.
The athlete’s score for the competition is the lowest of the two rep counts. In the event of a tie, the highest combined score receives the higher rank.
Issues with form in any completed rep will disqualify that rep from the total count for that movement.
Athletes are responsible for self-timing their workout, either with an app (i.e., WOD Tracker, SmartWOD Timer, WETime) or by having a gym clock or iPad with a timer clearly in view throughout the workout.
Donor Games judges recommend having an individual count reps for you during your workout.
*If you are unsure of your camera angle, you are welcome to submit a short sample video via the Donor Games app up to one week before the competition opens. Judges will review your video and either approve your camera angle or provide guidance on how to correct it.
**Any athlete with a valid restriction (e.g., past/present injury, specific issues completing the strict overhead press movement) should submit a sample video and contact Kevin Turcio for acceptance on reps and judging of the range of motion.
Competition Rules
Registered athletes agree to and will comply with the following rules related to the Donor Games Open competition format.
Eligibility
All athletes must be 18 years or older as of the close of registration for the competition.
All athletes must agree to the Donor Games Consent Agreement and adhere to the Workout Rules and Competition Rules herein.
Athletes must submit their full workout video at any time during the competition window: from March 20 through March 26, 2025 at 11:59 ET.
Athletes may submit more than one workout video to improve their standings on the leaderboard.
Competitors may submit no more than ONE video within any 24-hour period.
Should an additional workout video be disqualified; it does not impact the rank/eligibility of a previously approved workout video.
Athletes must be willing to accept prize winnings via ACH. Failure to provide ACH payment information within one week of the official prize-winning notification will result in forfeiture of the cash prize. All prize winnings will be dispersed within two weeks of the official prize-winning notification from the Donor Games.
General athletes who compete a modified workout are not eligible for cash prizes.
Judging
Failure to perform the exercises according to the guidelines will result in disqualification.
Judges’ decisions are final.
Judges may reject an athlete’s workout video due to: (a) improper form; (b) failure to complete the workout; (c) copyright infringements; or (d) any other issues that arise in review of the workout.
If a workout video is rejected, the competitor is allowed to submit a new competition workout video at any time during the competition window.
For this workout, judges may disqualify any number of individual reps versus a full disqualification of the workout.
