8 Categories
Every athlete is assessed across 8 distinct fitness categories. Together, they paint a complete picture of athletic capacity -- from raw strength to gymnastics skill to cardiovascular endurance.
Squatting
Lower body pushing strength through squat patterns
Pulling
Hip-hinge and pulling strength from the floor
Pressing
Upper body pressing strength in all planes
Olympic Lifting
Speed-strength and technical proficiency in the Olympic lifts
Gymnastics
Bodyweight strength, control, and skill on apparatus
Monostructural
Single-modality cardiovascular output
Bodyweight
Functional bodyweight strength and endurance
Endurance
Sustained effort across extended workouts
Category Interaction
The 8 categories are designed to cover distinct but overlapping fitness qualities. No single category exists in isolation -- together they ensure a holistic assessment of athletic capacity.

This overlap is intentional. For example, Olympic Lifting tests both speed-strength and anaerobic power, while Gymnastics assesses both bodyweight strength and muscular endurance. The system values well-rounded athleticism.
