A Basic Division was created to allow those who are unable to perform an unassisted pull up, chin up or bar dip an opportunity to compete. Those entering the Basic Division perform a modified version of the pull up, chin up and bar dip using specially designed equipment which reduces the body's weight by approximately 1/3. This makes performing the discipline somewhat easier but still challenging. As their fitness level increases, they will eventually progress to the open division.

NOTE: The Basic division is not offered at the world championships.
