Rogue Fitness Opens Online Registration for Timed Sweeper Complex Challenge

Rogue Fitness has opened registration for the Sweeper Complex Challenge, the February event in its 2026 Challenge Season, with the competition window running from February 20, 2026 at 9:00 AM EST through March 2, 2026 at 8:00 PM EST. A $30 entry fee covers the event entry and an official Rogue Challenge t-shirt, and athletes enter by registering on Rogue’s challenges page.

The Sweeper Complex is a timed, online strength-and-skill test that asks athletes to "Find your heaviest load for the following unbroken complex:" performed in this order: Clean, Front Squat, Hang Clean, Shoulder to Overhead. Rogue’s flow instructions specify that "The complex begins with the athlete standing with the bar on the ground in front of them. Barbell should be loaded with the starting weight," and the event carries a "Time Cap: 5 minutes to complete the complex."

Rogue’s rules allow athletes to attempt multiple lifts within that five-minute window: "Athletes may perform multiple attempts at different weights within the 5 minute time cap." Scoring is straightforward on the published brief: "Athletes with the heaviest successful barbell load in each weight division will win the contest." The registration copy also spells out the tie-breaker: "Tie Breaker: Body Weight \ Lighter body weight would win the tie." To be recorded as a competitor, athletes must register and "follow all workout and video flows as outlined."

After an attempt athletes are required to submit their time and a video of the lift via Rogue’s submission process. The registration copy instructs: "Once you’ve completed your challenge attempt, submit your time and video evidence here. Also be sure to use #ryourogue and tag @roguefitness to share your experience!" Rogue’s Instagram post adds that "performances automatically earn points toward the Overall Challenge," linking individual Sweeper results into the season-long standings.

The official brief contains sections titled "Permitted Equipment" and "Not Permitted Equipment" and a section labeled "EQUIPMENT NEEDED TO QUALIFY," but the supplied excerpts did not include the itemized lists. The rules include a clear disqualification warning: "Any athlete who alters the equipment or movements described in this document or shown in the video standards to gain an unfair advantage may be disqualified from the competition."

Rogue promoted the Sweeper Complex as part of its 2026 Challenge Season in a recent Facebook post that opened with "Introducing the 2026 Rogue Challenge Season" and included a season graphic listing the Sweeper Complex as the February challenge. That Facebook capture showed 47 reactions and 7 shares on the post snapshot.

Several operational details are not captured in the available excerpts, including the exact submission URL and form, the full permitted and banned equipment lists, detailed video standards, weight division cutoffs, and additional prize information beyond winners by weight division. Rogue’s challenge page carries a note to "See info below for official standards and to register," and athletes should consult that official page for the complete equipment, video and entry procedures before attempting the Sweeper Complex, which closes on March 2, 2026 at 8:00 PM EST.
