Participating athletes were allowed to make as many attempts as possible within a video time capped at 10 minutes. Rogue clarified in their movement standards that while a standard Turkish get-up involves moving from a lying position to standing and then lying back down, participants only had to move from the starting position to standing.

Only four male athletes eclipsed 200 pounds. In addition to those who made the podium, fourth-place finisher Michael Aidala scored a 203-pound lift. Eight women eclipsed the 100-pound mark, including strongwoman Donna Moore who secured 102 pounds, and CrossFitter Carolyne Prevost, who locked out 105 pounds.
