THE ULTIMATE STRENGTH SPORT

Streetlifting is a competitive weighted calisthenics-based strength sport that tests one rep maxes in four movements: muscle up, pull, dip, and squat. Athletes are separated based on sex and bodyweight. Each competitor receives 3 attempts to maximize the added weight they can lift, with the highest successful attempt in each movement counting towards their total. Rankings are based on the highest total.

FAQs

HOW DO I START STREETLIFTING?

Begin by mastering bodyweight exercises like pull-ups, dips, and squats. Gradually add weights using a dip belt or weighted vest, focusing on proper form and progressive overload. Start light, track progress, and increase weight or reps over time.

WHAT IS NEEDED FOR STREETLIFTING?

At minimum, you need a pull-up bar, dip bars, weights, and a dip belt to train for the classic format. For the All4 format, you need a barbell and squat rack as well as a pull-up bar with adequate ceiling space. If you don't have access to this equipment in your gym or home, you may find it in a local park.
