All video submissions should be uncut and unedited in order to accurately display the performance. Videos shot with a fisheye lens or similar lens may be rejected due to the visual distortion these lenses cause. Sound should be on during the filming. Be sure the athlete has adequate space to safely complete the movement and clear the area of all extra equipment, people, or other obstructions so that the video is clear.  

The video should be shot from at a 45 degree angle to the athlete ensuring that the video clearly shows the entire body. Critical items that need to be clearly visible on the video:

1. Show all equipment to be used to the camera
2. Digital scale verification using a dumbbell or kettlebell
3. Athletes bodyweight - wearing all equipment they will be wearing for the challenge - refer to permitted/non-permitted equipment list
4. Weighing of all equipment to be used for the entire challenge, barbell and all plates, required regardless of brand
5. Clearly state the chosen weight and show all weights being added to the barbell and verify the total load on the bar before the challenge starts
   * Chosen weight must be equal to or  heavier than 50% of the athletes bodyweight - see calculation below
6. Ensure that the camera view clearly enables all movement standards to be verified, video must capture the athlete from the feet to the full finish position.

The athlete will need to follow the steps outlined below:

1. The submitted video should start with the entire athlete in frame stating their name, and the challenge name
2. The camera should then clearly show all equipment the athlete will use during their challenge attempt. All of the following must be shown:
   * Barbell, to include end caps
   * All weight plates that will be used in their attempt - both sides of each plate / fractional weight
   * Plates need to clearly have the weights printed on them, and both sides must be displayed to the camera
3. The athlete must verify their scale by placing a dumbbell/kettlebell on the scale and showing the scale reading is correct.
   * Please verbally say the weight as the camera shows the scale
4. The athlete will need to step onto the scale to weigh themselves to confirm their bodyweight. Once the athlete is on the scale, the camera needs to zoom in to clearly show the scale reading.
   * This must be done with the athlete wearing all clothing, supportive equipment and shoes that will be worn during the competition attempt
5. The athlete will declare the load they will use for the challenge
   * Load must be equal to or heavier than 50% of the athletes bodyweight
   
   Example:
      Athlete weighs 178.7LB = 180LB rounded to the nearest 5LB
      Therefore the minimum weight the athlete can use is 0.5 x 180 = 90
   
   
6. Weigh each piece of equipment the athlete will use during their challenge. All of the following must be shown:
   * The camera must show all weight plates that will be used on the scale and show the scale reading for each. The entire scale should be clearly visible to the camera
       - This includes any plates that may be added to the bar at any point
   * The camera must show the barbell on the scale and show the scale reading
   * Required regardless of equipment brand
   * A coach or helper can assist with this process
7. The camera should move back into the correct 45 degree filming angle for the challenge attempt. 
   * The final position should capture the barbell from the ground to the overhead position as well as the timer. 
8. The athlete needs to show the camera all of the supportive equipment they are wearing to confirm it matches the outlined rules
9.  Once the athlete is ready the 3 minute timer may start and the athlete may begin an attempt at the challenge based on the criteria outlined above.
   * Load on the barbell can not be changed during the 3 minutes
10. Once the 3 minute time cap is reached the challenge is over and the athletes score is the weight lifted multiplied by the number of repetitions.
    Example:
    * Athlete weighs 178.7LB = 180LB rounded to the nearest 5LB
    * Therefore the minimum weight the athlete can use is 0.5 x 180 = 90
    * Athlete chooses 135LB and completes 32 repetitions;
        - 135 x 32  = 4,320LB
11. The video may then conclude.
    
    

* All of the steps above must be done with the camera continuously running for the video to be accepted.
* Failure to show these steps/items makes the video submission subject to rejection at the judges' discretion
* Refer to the demo video on the Rogue website for a visual for how the workout and video should flow.
