5. The participants can choose a 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 or 80 kg barbell.
We expect that all attempts will be performed on the 7 barbells at the same time. However, some weight can be neglected, depending on the level, quantity and desire of the athletes.
Usage of more than 7 barbells in one box or barbell of weight, which wasn`t mentioned, is prohibited.
6. The number of participants from one box is not limited.

8. The sequence and strategy should be discussed before the start of the competition in terms of all the rules and conditions.
9. Challenge has to be completed before 10th of the January 2017. The exact date of Challenge has to be chosen by the box itself.
10. To all the boxes, hosting the event we recommend the following:
A) To choose a person, responsible for registration of the participants. Full name of participant has to be put into the database, so it can generate a personal number. For the quick inputting of the results into the protocol, we advise to put on number (stick or write) on athlete when he or she performs the Challenge.
B) To select a judge, who will be looking after the safety and technique of performance, and who will be in charge of scaling down the weight of some participants in case of unsafe performance.
C) To select an administrator, who will be responsible for inputting the numbers of participants, and registering performed weight and number of reps into the electronic protocol.
D) To provide timer or screen to be able to see the countdown.
11. The participant, having performed the attempt comes to the administrator, says his or her number, barbell`s weight and number of reps. Afterwards, the electronic protocol will count the total score of the box itself.
12. We accept any other ways of counting the result, if in the end it will show the total score of the box and impact of each participant into that.
13. In addition, we would like to ask you to record the video of the challenge and take a group picture, so we can make a video about this event.
14. For the result to be submitted, you need to upload the video and your score through the special form on the website.
15. The final leaderboard will be announced soon after inputting all the results.
