Hell Challenge Workout

Hell Challenge is a free online calisthenics competition where you have 5 minutes to perform your best set of bodyweight movements and score points. Choose from push-ups, pull-ups, pistols, muscle-ups or one-arm pull-ups and rack up as many reps and bonus points as you can — submit your video and see how you stack up on the leaderboard.

Exercises Base Points Bonus Points
Push Up 0.5 5 points for 20+ reps in a row

Pistol Squat 2 5 points for 10+ reps in a row
Muscle Up 5 10 points for 5+ reps in a row

Rules

  • Competitors have 5 minutes to perform as many reps as possible.
  • Competitors may choose exercises from the list.
  • Base Points are calculated per rep (full range of motion) based on the exercise.
  • Switching grips is allowed. For example, reverse-grip muscle-ups or diamond push-up variations.
  • Bonus points can be applied only once. For pistol squats and one-arm pull-ups, switching sides is not allowed; this means 10 straight pistol squats on one leg and 3 one-arm pull-ups on one arm.
  • Competitor must provide a video as a proof.

Extra Bonus Points

  • Variety Bonus: Perform at least 3 different exercises to earn a 10-point bonus.
  • Jump Over Leg Bonus: Jump over your leg after the 5th minute to earn a 10-point bonus. Competitor has only one try.

Scoring Example

  • Push Ups: 25 reps × 0.5 + 5 (bonus for 25 reps in a row) = 17.5 points
  • Pull Ups: 12 reps × 1.5 + 5 (bonus for 12 reps in a row) = 23 points
  • Pistol Squats: 8 reps × 2 = 16 points
  • Muscle Ups: 4 reps × 5 + 10 (bonus for 4 reps in a row) = 30 points
  • One-Arm Pull Ups: 3 reps × 8 + 10 (bonus for 3 reps in a row) = 34 points
  • Variety Bonus: 10 points (for performing 5 different exercises)
  • Jump Over Leg Bonus: 10 points
  • Total Score: 17.5 + 23 + 16 + 30 + 34 + 10 + 10 = 140.5 points
