DIVISION GUIDELINES AND WEIGHTS

CHOOSE THE RIGHT DIVISION

Respect the divisions. Respect the work.

We are looking to make a fun and competitive throw down at The Farm Jam but that only works if teams enter the right division for their current level of fitness. It’s not just about who stands on the podium. It’s about honour and making sure everyone’s tested, challenged, and able to enjoy the day.

Use the guide below to figure out where your team fits best.

The listed weights and movements assume you can hit 5–8 solid reps, not just grind out a 1RM. This helps us create workouts that flow well and keep the comp fun and competitive for all divisions.

We won’t ask for muscle-ups, handstand walks, or HSPUs in any division — this is functional fitness at its core.

CHOOSING YOUR DIVISION

Use the info below to choose the division that’s right for you. These are functional fitness standards based on consistent performance, not your one-rep max or what you used to lift.

EVERYDAY DIVISION

Your first comp or still finding your feet? This one's for you.

This is our entry-level division — perfect for everyday gym-goers who want to throw down, connect with their crew, and get a feel for the comp scene without the pressure of heavy weights or elite movement standards.

Who belongs here:

• You scale workouts at your gym often or always

• You’ve never done a fitness comp, or just a couple for fun

• You train 1–3 times a week

• You don’t work in the fitness industry

• You’re here for a challenge and a good time, not the leaderboard

Not for:

• Coaches, PTs, gym owners, or high-level athletes

• Anyone who’s podiumed in intermediate or higher divisions

• Filling last-minute gaps in your team with higher-level ring-ins

• Using injury as a reason to enter down a division

Top 5 finishers in this division should be moving up next time. Stay hungry, but keep it fair.

INTERMEDIATE DIVISION

You’re not new here. You’ve trained for this. Time to test it.

This division is for people who take their training seriously and want to compete.

Who belongs here:

• You rarely scale workouts

• You train 3–5 times a week with structure and intent

• You’ve competed before or podiumed in an Everyday-style comp

• You come from a sport or fitness background

• You’re a coach, PT, or seasoned mover

You’ll see similar movements to Elite, just with lighter weights and slightly more forgiving pacing.

ELITE DIVISION

This division is for top-tier athletes. If you’re dialled in across the board, and you’re ready to go all in, this is your paddock.

Who belongs here:

• You never scale workouts

• You train 4–6 days a week, year-round

• You’re hitting RX+ weights, regularly

• You’ve podiumed in Intermediate or higher at past comps

• You can hit movements like TTB and rope climbs comfortably under fatigue

Elite isn’t just about big numbers — it’s about complete performance across all domains.

FINAL NOTE ON FAIRNESS

The Farm Jam team reserves the right to move teams between divisions if necessary to protect the integrity of the comp.

If you're entering for fun, do it honestly. If you’re chasing the top spot, make sure you belong there. Either way, pick the lane that reflects where you’re really at — so everyone gets a fair crack, and the Jam stays legit.
