The FinalRep Mission
The team behind FinalRep have one core mission: to make Streetlifting a well-known and established sport globally. They do this by organising competitions under a unified rulebook and framework. Streetlifting has a distinct competitive nature, a trait it inherits from Powerlifting. Without unified rules, you cannot have a competition, and without competition, you’re just left with personal Weighted Calisthenics.
The organisation has taken on the task of providing this structure, framework, and establishing the rules for Streetlifting. Community building is another vital aspect for the organisation, bringing together athletes, partners and audience.
Unfortunately, less reputable parties have taken advantage of Streetlifting’s rising popularity in the past. That is why integrity is key to increasing the sport’s popularity for FinalRep.
History of FinalRep
Tonio Zeidler and Tim Reichel founded FinalRep in 2020, and the organisation has since organised annual Streetlifting competitions. They have continually refined their platform, framework and rulebook for Streetlifting events.
Carsten Seeger joined the team in 2022 as a software developer. With the creation of the “FinalRep App,” he has sparked a new digital revolution in the sport. The App provides a digital platform for the organisation and execution of Streetlifting competitions. Today, this digital platform is one of the primary drivers of the organisation’s rapid global expansion.

Things really took off in 2023 with the WORLDS 2023 Streetlifting competition in Cologne, Germany, on September 30 and October 1 that year. It was the second competition in the WORLDS series.

The FinalRep Team
The organisation consists of the leadership team and volunteers. Here is a brief introduction of the co-founders:
- Tonio Zeidler, co-founder: already doing Calisthenics competitions, Tonio entered as a Streetlifting athlete in 2019 and decided to do more for the community, founding FinalRep just one year later.
- Tim Reichel, co-founder: started Calisthenics in college at age 18 and made the move from Weighted Calisthenics to Streetlifting competitions after meeting Tonio in 2016.
- Carsten Seeger, Technical Director: a technical mastermind who combined his enthusiasm for Streetlifting with his expertise in IT and digitalisation. He made hosting, organising and disseminating Streetlifting events easy through the FinalRep App.
Streetlifting Competitions Framework
The most popular Streetlifting competitions are the bi-annual WORLDS Streetlifting Competition and the bi-annual EUROS Streetlifting Competition. Each is held in alternating years.
Locations
Competitions are located in Germany, near major airports such as Cologne and Leipzig, which offer good flight connections to the world. The venue size has increased steadily over the years, necessitating larger locations, such as sports arenas.
Rules
FinalRep lays down the rules in its official rulebook. This rulebook provides a unified framework for all events, giving hosts, judges and athletes a clear template. The rules cover everything from acceptable clothing and weight classes to the procedures for weighing athletes, guidelines for judges and judging, and regulations for the correct execution of disciplines (exercises).
