Pancakes For Roger Virtual Dragon Slaying Competition
About This Competition
Veterans-focused nonprofit Pancakes For Roger is excited to roll out another awesome event to support veterans. This time, we're making your summer sizzle with our Virtual Dragon Slaying competition!
50 bucks gets each competitor an entry ticket and a chance to win the overall division competition or a single event. There are 4 divisions: women’s 16-44, women’s 45+, men’s 16-44, and men’s 45+. Athletes who want to compete need to be at least 16 years old by June 6th, 2024.
The competition will consist of three lifts taking place over three consecutive weekends, so you will have plenty of time to demonstrate your strength and recover for the next go-around. Each of the four divisions will have one (1) overall winner, and there will be one (1) winner for each specific lift. (See below as to why it’s not guaranteed to be the big guy in the corner.) So That’s 7 prizes total - and hey, who doesn't like prizes?
The first workout will be published on Thursday, June 6th - which happens to be the 80th anniversary of the Normandy landings, also known as D-Day. The following 2 workouts will be released each of the following two weeks on Thursday. All lifts will stay a secret till it’s released. Do NOT expect anything too crazy. Think about basic barbell movements and you'll be fine. For this competition, we’ll be scoring your lift using the Wilks method, which allows us to score your performance relative to your bodyweight (for more info, including a calculator, click here). If you are in the top 10 of each event, plan on being asked for proof of weight to verify Wilks scores. This keeps things fair and square for everyone competing. You’ll have from Thursday till Sunday to submit your score. (Lift descriptions will have more details surrounding specific deadlines including time hacks when they are published.)
Submitting Your Lift
Athletes can use any video recording device to capture their lift, but you are responsible for the video quality. Remember - if the judges can't see your movements clearly, your submission may be rejected.
For your submission to be acceptable, you need to include these in your video:
- State your full name clearly into the camera
- Show the equipment that you’ll be using for the lift, including a clear view of any barbells or plates and their respective weight values.
- Complete the lift as prescribed with a clear viewing angle of your movements.
PRO TIP: For the lift, position your camera so that the completion of each movement as described in the lift standard may be verified and judged correctly! We recommend you record a few practice movements so that you know where to place your camera.
We’ll be accepting videos from the following platforms:
- YouTube
- Vimeo
- Dropbox
- iCloud
ONE SUBMISSION PER ATHLETE - so submit your best stuff!

Workouts
The Brutal Bench Press!
So, barbell bender - can you press a dragon from your chest to the sky? Show us your power, Dragon Slayers!
Brutal Bench Press Judging Criteria
This is a 3 rep max lift:
- Arms must start fully locked out after “lift off”
- Bar must touch the chest and arms be fully locked out for rep to count
- Keep head, shoulders, and buttocks in contact with the bench (back can be arched as long as the aforementioned contacts remain)
- Feet must stay flat on the floor; elevated platforms (plates) are permitted, but feet must remain flat on these surfaces as well
- Spotter is recommended but if spotter touches the bar, the lift is invalid
- No time limit on the reps but bar may NOT rest on the lifter’s chest
GOOD LUCK, DRAGON SLAYER!
The Dragon Deadlift!
Mightiest of powerlifting moves, this beast of a barbell lift will show your dedication to overall strength.
Dragon Deadlift Judging Criteria
This is a 3-rep max dead stop lift:
- Dead stop means the bar must be fully settled on the ground before the next rep can start (no rebounding)
- We recommend a minimum of two (2) seconds between reps to avoid potential invalid reps; there is no time frame on reps
- Hands can never leave the bar (may adjust grip, but hands cannot rotate or move to another position)
- Must stand erect with the shoulders behind the bar
- Must stand with your knees straight at the completion of the lift
- Cannot have the bar rest on the thighs during the lift
- Cannot step forward or back or move the feet laterally during the “up phase”
- No straps or grips around the bar are permitted
GOOD LUCK, DRAGON SLAYER!
The Ferocious Front Squat!
Work those wings! The weight sits squarely on the upper chest and shoulders, and the elbows point forward to bring the upper arms parallel to the floor - and this is how you SLAY A DRAGON...
Ferocious Front Squat Judging Criteria
This is a 3-rep max front squat lift:
- Hips must dip below parallel for rep to count
- Knees must be locked out to start and end a rep
- Feet cannot move - laterally or forward/backward - until rep is completed
- You may reset feet between reps once the full range of the rep is complete
- Elbows or arms cannot touch your legs during the reps
- No "double bounce" at the bottom (can't start up, then down, then up again)
- Can sit at the bottom of the squat for as long as you choose, but once the rise starts, the rep must be completed or the bar baled
- Spotters are recommended but if spotters touch the bar, the lift is invalid
- No time limit on the reps
- No straps or grips around the bar are permitted
GOOD LUCK, DRAGON SLAYER!
