1000 Pound Club Fest 2026
November 1–30, 2026
1000lb Club Fest is Strength Origins’ biggest online squat, bench, and deadlift event of the year. Submit your best total, get your lifts reviewed, join the Fest leaderboard, and win prizes throughout November.
Who Can Participate?
Club Fest is open to lifters worldwide at every stage — from current club members to those still working toward the standard.
- 1000lb Club Division — Open Division for lifters who total 1,000 lb or more.
- 600lb Club Division — Women-Only Division for lifters who total 600 lb or more.
- Pursuit Division — Lifters who submit a valid SBD total but are below a 600/1000lb total.
You do not need to total 1000lb or 600lb to participate, appear on the leaderboard, or be eligible for prize drawings. But hitting a club-level total unlocks an additional Fest bonus.

We’re giving away 11+ premium prizes throughout November, with random winners selected each week. Your odds of winning are not affected by your total, whether your lifts are approved, or your leaderboard position. Just register, submit your lifts, and you’re in the prize drawings.

Club Fest submissions must be received November 1–30, 2026. This event follows the same squat, bench press, and deadlift rules used for standard Strength Origins 1000/600lb Club submissions.
Before submitting, review the full rules for lift standards, allowed equipment, and video requirements.
Entries that do not meet these requirements will require resubmission and may affect eligibility for Club Fest recognition or decals.

Some prizes are available internationally, while others are limited to U.S. winners only. Any location restrictions are noted in the individual prize descriptions above.
How Are Winners Selected?
Winners are selected at random. Your total, division, leaderboard position, or lifting performance does not improve your odds of winning.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who can participate in Club Fest?
Club Fest is open to lifters worldwide and at any strength level. You can lift in a commercial gym, home gym, on deployment, or anywhere else—as long as your videos meet the Strength Origins submission and judging requirements.
Participants under 18 must have permission from a parent or legal guardian. For participants under 13, a parent or legal guardian must submit the entry on their behalf.
Do I need to total 1000lb or 600lb to participate?
No. Club Fest is open to lifters at any strength level. You do not need to reach the 1000lb or 600lb Club standard to participate, appear on the leaderboard, or win prizes
Lifters who reach 1000lb in the Open Division or 600lb in the Women-Only Division will earn the 2026 Club Fest Member decal.
What happens if one of my lifts is not accepted?
Every Club Fest entry includes one resubmission if needed. Only the lift(s) requiring correction need to be resubmitted.
All resubmissions must be received by November 30, 2026. Premium and Elite submissions receive expedited review. Basic submissions may take longer to review, so a resubmission opportunity is not guaranteed if your entry is submitted late in the event.
Do all three lifts have to be performed on the same day?
All three lifts must be performed within the same week (7-day window).
Will my lifts be featured on social media?
We love highlighting the community, but we can’t feature everyone. Select Club Fest submissions may be shared based on overall fit.
If you’d prefer not to be featured—or are okay being featured without being tagged—you can select that when submitting.
