About This Competition

PAINCAVE is our in-gym competition series — gritty, intimate, and community-first.

Born from the roots of where PAINKLLR started, this event brings the raw energy of a local throwdown with the premium feel of a professionally-run experience.

Think fight club meets CrossFit competition — stripped-down, no fluff, just real effort and real payoff.

No massive crowds. No stage lights. Just two-person teams, one shared floor, and one chance to prove what you’re made of — no matter which gym you call home.

Next Up: Austin, TX
We’re bringing PAINCAVE back — first stop: Austin, Texas
Hosted in partnership with CrossFit Jaakarhu, one of the most respected gyms in the city.

**During the one rep max portion of the clean, you must verify your weight with the judge before attempting a lift. Clips must be on the outside of the barbell before attempting a lift. Partner may help you remove or add weights to the barbell before completing a lift

Movement Standards:

CLEAN

The rep starts with the bar on the floor and ends with the bar in the front rack position with the hips and knees fully extended and the elbows in front of the bar. Key elements of a standard clean include a dead-stop start from the floor, a powerful pull with full hip extension, dropping under the bar to a full-depth squat or catching it in a power position, and standing to full extension at the top of the lift. Variations like the power clean, squat clean, muscle clean, or split clean are all acceptable, but the lift must end in the proper front rack position with hips and knees fully locked out. 

DEADLIFT

The rep begins when lifting a barbell from the floor until the athlete's hips and knees are fully extended, with the shoulders clearly behind the bar. 

HANG POWER CLEAN

The rep begins by deadlifting the barbell to the specified hang position (above the knees) then performing an explosive hip and leg extension to bring the bar to the front rack position. The rep counts when the athlete achieves full hip and knee extension, with elbows clearly in front of the bar and the feet in line. A key requirement is receiving the clean in a power position (above parallel), not a squat

SHOULDER TO OVERHEAD

The rep begins when the athlete gets the barbell from their shoulders to an overhead position and then achieve full lockout of the arms, hips, and knees with the barbell over the middle of the body. Any overhead lift is permitted, including a strict press, push press, push jerk, or split jerk. The movement begins from the shoulders and the rep is complete once the body is fully extended and the bar is overhead.
