THE ROAD TO #1 STARTS IN NEWARK. 👑

On Sunday, January 17, 2027 at 1:00 PM, some of the top complete calisthenics athletes in the country step into Brick City Strength located at 32 MAIDEN LANE for the opening round of the Lock Out League Men’s Pro season.

This is where the race for the national title begins.

Every athlete starts at zero.
Every rep earns position.
Every point matters.

Round 1 is MAX-REP ACCUMULATION, and the results will establish the first points and rankings of the season.

From there, the road continues:
NEW JERSEY → NEW YORK CITY → CHICAGO → BOSTON

Across four cities, these athletes will fight to climb the standings, secure their place in the Lock Out League Pro national ranking, and ultimately compete for the 2027 LLP National Championship.

But the title isn’t the only thing on the line.

The athletes at the top of the season will earn the opportunity to represent the country as part of LLP TEAM USA and take the competition to the international stage.

This is bigger than one event.
This is the beginning of a season.
The beginning of the rankings.
The beginning of the race to represent the USA.

SPECTATOR ADMISSION — $20
Come see the first reps.
Come see the first rankings.
Come see who begins separating themselves from the field.

4 CITIES. 1 SEASON. ONE NATIONAL RANKING.
ONE NATIONAL TITLE.
ONE ROAD TO #1.

BEHIND EVERY MOVEMENT IS SOMEONE MAKING SURE ITS STORY IS SEEN 🎥

Introducing the Lock Out League Pro Media Director: @mayan.films

For nearly 13 years, Mayan has been behind the camera documenting my journey—from my first solo workout video to the most recent Brooklyn Beach Sports Festival.

But his contribution extends far beyond one person or one event.

He captured our first community event, documented our international championship, and has consistently covered calisthenics competitions, workouts, outings, and gatherings throughout the tri-state area.

If something is happening within the local calisthenics community, chances are Mayan is there—recording it, uploading it, and making sure the people and moments receive the recognition they deserve.

His page has become the community’s local news channel: a place where athletes can see what is happening, who is putting in work, and how the culture continues to grow.

There are countless cameras and production crews, but capturing the true essence of this sport requires more than equipment. It requires history, trust, timing, and a genuine connection to the people in front of the lens.

That is what separates Mayan.

He doesn’t simply record the community from the outside. He supports it, participates in it, and gets his own reps in alongside the athletes he documents.

Long before the Lock Out League Pro had national rankings, multiple cities, or a championship road, @mayan.films was already preserving the journey.

Now, he will help bring the 2027 season to life—one city, one athlete, and one defining moment at a time.

THE STORY IS BIGGER. THE LENS IS READY. THE ROAD TO #1 WILL BE DOCUMENTED. 🎬

Thank you! @mayan.films.

THE OFFICIATING TEAM IS COMPLETE. 🔒

Welcome our final League Official: @jacob_t_king

Jacob enters the Lock Out League Pro with legitimate championship credentials and the experience of an undefeated competitor.

Representing Lake Station, Indiana, Jacob captured the UFCL Lightweight Championship and continues to hold the title. His competitive journey has taken him from Coney Island to Tennessee, Los Angeles, and Miami twice—without suffering a defeat.

Behind that record is an elite freestyle athlete who has reached advanced levels of strength, body control, and technical execution. He understands what athletes experience under pressure because he has stood in that position himself—and succeeded.

Beyond his athletic ability, Jacob carries the mindset, professionalism, and positive character needed to represent the sport across every community.

As he recovers from surgery and prepares for his own competitive return, he now brings his championship experience and trained eye to the Lock Out League Pro officiating team.

Undefeated competitor. Proven champion. Qualified official.

Welcome to the team, @jacob_t_king

THE STANDARD IS SET. THE OFFICIATING TEAM IS READY.

THE ROAD TO #1 CONTINUES.

Next up: @ralphbakes

Ralph may be a newer name in competitive calisthenics, but he enters the Lock Out League Pro with a strong athletic foundation and the early results to show that he belongs.

After 12 years of training, Ralph has spent the past two years focused strictly on calisthenics—developing his strength, endurance, static holds, body control, and reps-and-sets abilities.

He began competing in 2026 and immediately made his presence felt:

🏆 Winter WARZ Champion
🥈 Second place across every category in his weight class at the Brooklyn Beach Sports Festival
🏆 Bar Warz 9 One-on-One Winner

His ability to perform in both reps and sets and static strength makes him more than a one-dimensional competitor. He possesses the range, work ethic, and determination needed to push beyond his limitations and overcome the challenges placed before him.

Just as importantly, Ralph has displayed tremendous sportsmanship throughout his young competitive career. He respects the competition, remains committed to improving, and continues stepping forward whenever his abilities are tested.

Now he is taking the next step—entering a league without weight classes and preparing to challenge some of the most complete athletes in the country.

A newer competitor with proven ability, a growing résumé, and plenty still to show.

THE ROAD TO #1 CONTINUES.

Next up: @1yahsta

1YAHSTA enters the 2027 season with proven Lock Out League experience, international competition credentials, and the determination to continue raising his level.

He delivered a strong performance during the first season of the Lock Out League Pro and has continued challenging himself on larger competitive stages. His talent and ability earned him an invitation to participate in the 32 Aztecas qualifying event in America, and he later represented Team USA against Canada at CIFR, becoming a Team USA International Champion.

He has also produced strong performances at the Brooklyn Beach Sports Festival, demonstrating that he is willing to compete wherever the challenge takes him.

His athletic foundation extends well beyond calisthenics. Experience in basketball, baseball, track, and bowling helped shape his coordination, competitive drive, discipline, and ability to adapt. Within calisthenics, his greatest weapons include powerful legs, high-level push-up endurance, and a mindset built around continuous improvement.

But perhaps his most important strength is his will.

He refuses to back down, remains hungry to improve, and believes his hard work will continue producing results. That attitude will be essential during a season designed to test far more than one exercise or specialty.

His ambitions also extend beyond personal success. 1YAHSTA wants to help push calisthenics toward greater global recognition, inspire more people to participate, and eventually establish his own youth calisthenics program—giving young people a positive outlet while helping them strengthen both their bodies and minds.

He has already proven that he can compete. Now he has the opportunity to bring his experience, athletic versatility, international confidence, and relentless drive together in pursuit of the league’s top position.

Welcome back to the Lock Out League Pro Men’s Pro Division, @1yahsta.

THE ROAD TO #1 CONTINUES.

Next up: @hazeanumonk

Haze is no stranger to the Lock Out League Pro. He competed during the league’s inaugural season, performed well, and now returns as a more developed and complete athlete.

A self-described hybrid, Haze combines competitive calisthenics with powerlifting—using the strength developed under external weight to complement his bodyweight endurance, advanced skills, control, and athleticism.

He has continued testing himself at multiple events and delivered an exceptional performance during the audition for the 32 Aztecas international competition, demonstrating that he possesses the ability and composure to perform when the standard rises.

But his journey extends beyond competition.

Haze is committed to pushing the limits of strength, discipline, and personal growth while inspiring others to become the best versions of themselves—mind, body, and soul. He believes transformation is created through consistency, daily action, and the willingness to lead by example.

That same mindset now brings him back to the Lock Out League Pro.

This season gives Haze the opportunity to use every tool in his arsenal—calisthenics, powerlifting, endurance, advanced skills, experience, discipline, and mental strength. He has everything needed to compete alongside some of the country’s top complete athletes.

The question is no longer whether he possesses the tools.

The question is whether he can put them all together across four events and stand alone at the top of the hill when everything is finished.

THE ROAD TO #1 CONTINUES

Next up: @sumir.humblebeast

A true triple threat has entered the 2027 Lock Out League Pro season.

Reps and sets. Weighted strength. Freestyle.

Sumir Kapoor possesses the versatility to perform across all three disciplines, making him one of the most well-rounded and potentially dangerous athletes entering this season.

With nearly a decade dedicated to calisthenics, Sumir brings far more than physical ability. His background in Exercise Science and Nutrition, combined with years of hands-on training and competition experience, has given him a detailed understanding of performance, movement mechanics, and preparation.

Originally building his calisthenics journey in India and now representing the community in the United States, Sumir is also a coach and the founder of Calikeeda and Boston Calisthenics. His contributions extend beyond competing, as he has served the sport through coaching, judging, and event organization.

But when it is time to compete, the educator becomes the athlete.

Sumir won his most recent competition in Boston and has also earned a placement at the Brooklyn Beach Sports Festival. His ability to combine endurance, weighted power, advanced skills, and freestyle movement makes him uniquely equipped for a season designed to expose one-dimensional competitors.

In his own words:

“I love competition. I love the pressure because it brings out the best in you.”

That pressure will be waiting.

Four competitions. Multiple disciplines. Different challenges—and no room to depend on a single strength.

After almost a decade in the sport, Sumir continues to evolve, test his limits, and prove that longevity, discipline, knowledge, and the willingness to keep showing up matter just as much as talent.

THE ROAD TO #1 CONTINUES

Next up: @blackg0ku.222

Not every athlete enters the league with a long list of championships. Some enter ready to begin writing their own history.

With approximately four years dedicated to calisthenics, Black Goku has quietly invested the hours required to develop elite-level strength, skills, and body control. His planche work, handstand pressing, explosive bar movements, and overall physical ability reveal an athlete whose preparation extends far beyond his competition résumé.

The 2027 Lock Out League Pro season will mark his first official competition—but he is not approaching it like someone who is simply happy to participate.

In his own words, his goal is “to dominate."

That confidence is supported by years of training when there were no judges, no audience, no rankings, and no trophies waiting at the finish. Now he is prepared to bring those countless unseen hours into the competitive arena and test his abilities against some of the best athletes in the country.

He may not have the history—yet—but he has the tools, preparation, confidence, and opportunity to make a serious splash and establish his name among the elite.

Every established competitor once entered their first competition. In 2027, we find out where Black Goku’s story begins.

THE ROAD TO #1 CONTINUES.

Next up: @jaytgoinot.

Jay T enters the 2027 Lock Out League Pro season with a proven championship résumé:

🏆 2X Lock Out League Pro Lightweight Champion
🏆 2X Brooklyn Beach Sports Festival Lightweight Champion
🏆 Team USA International Champion
🏆 Flatbush Gladiators Champion
🏆 Battle at Bar Warz Winner

At the 2026 Brooklyn Beach Sports Festival, he successfully defended his lightweight championship while setting new division records across the board—finishing with 70 dips, 33 pull-ups, 58 push-ups, and 161 total repetitions.

But championships only tell part of his story.

Jay T possesses a hard-nosed work ethic and is constantly searching for ways to improve, progress, and test his complete ability against the best. He is not a one-dimensional athlete or a specialist—he is a utility knife equipped with the strength, endurance, skills, experience, and adaptability needed for the unexpected and the long road ahead.

That versatility becomes even more important in 2027. There will be no lightweight division to return to and no weight class separating him from the field. Jay T is stepping forward to compete against every athlete for one national ranking.

He has already proven that he can win championships. Now he will attempt to prove that he is one of the most complete athletes in the country.

THE OFFICIALS ARE IN PLACE. THE VOICE IS ON THE MIC. NOW IT’S TIME FOR THE ATHLETES. 👑

THE ROAD TO #1 OFFICIALLY BEGINS.

First up: @powerful.coach.
And fittingly, we’re starting with the first athlete to commit to the 2027 Lock Out League Pro season.
James has dedicated half of his life to calisthenics, developing into a complete and versatile athlete with the strength, skills, endurance, control, and discipline demanded at the professional level.

His advanced movements are backed by strict form and clean execution. He isn’t entering this league as a specialist—he possesses the well-rounded ability to be dangerous in every phase of competition.

Outside of the sport, James is a devoted family man and fitness coach. Inside the competition arena, he is prepared to work, perform, entertain, and challenge himself against some of the best athletes in the country.

When the opportunity was presented, he didn’t hesitate. He believed in the vision, accepted the challenge, and became the first athlete to officially step forward.

The first commitment. The first reveal. The standard is set.

THE VOICE OF LOCK OUT LEAGUE PRO. 🎙️👑

Lock Out League Pro proudly welcomes Byram of @wingateworldunlimited as our Official Broadcaster for the 2027 season.

But Byram’s connection to this culture goes far beyond the microphone.

An original foundational member of Team Wingate, Byram’s roots reach back to the golden era of calisthenics — before YouTube and social media changed how the world saw the movement.

In 2018, he took that experience into a different arena, creating what he describes as the first calisthenics podcast and the first in-studio calisthenics show, helping establish a unique lane for calisthenics media, journalism and sideline reporting.

His unmistakable presentation, dress and style became part of that identity.

As an Ambassador for Wingate Park, Byram has remained connected to the community while becoming a familiar voice behind some of its platforms and events — including Lock Out League Pro, Brooklyn Beach Sports Festival, C.C.A. and more.

He doesn't simply call the action.

He knows the athletes.
He knows the history.
He knows the culture.

And as Lock Out League Pro enters a new era across New Jersey, New York City, Chicago and Boston, there is no better per
son to help tell that story.
