How it works
One score. Every rank that matters.
iRank puts a public mark on a world board, then places the same result among people like you. Age, gender, country, gym. Same attempt. Different rooms.
The flow
From attempt to rank in four moves
You do not need to learn the whole system first. Log something real, then filter the board to the field you care about.
Pick a board
Each board is one comparable class with published rules. Deadlift is not the same as a suited pull. A 5K is not a marathon.
Log a score
Add the result and the day you did it. Choose who can see your name. A photo or link helps the board stay honest.
Get every rank
One mark earns a world place, plus gender, age group, country, and any gym or team you join.
Filter to your people
Look at the same board globally, or by your group, age, gender, or country. There's lots of ways to rank at the top of the board.
Ranks
Two views of the same score
World rank is the full board. Filtered ranks only include athletes with a complete profile, so you can compare like with like. Each list shows one qualifying mark per person; every legal attempt still stays in history.
World board
Everyone on that activity, including public notables we publish so each board has a real standard to chase. One career-best row per person that matches the board rules.
Your slice
Gender, age group, country, and gym restart at #1. Age uses the best mark while you were in that band. Your entry still shows world place next to the filtered one.
History stays
Meets, races, and gym submits keep their own date, age-at-the-time, and bodyweight. Improving later does not erase an earlier mark — it only changes which row wins each pool.
Notables
Published marks without an account stay on the world board. Their pages are labelled added automatically. Anyone can suggest a missing notable. Claim the page when you want it for personal use.
Filters
Filter to your people
Same board, smaller field. Age, gender, country, and gym change who you compare with.
World
Full board, ranks as published.
Your group
Signed out, it opens sign-up. Signed in, it jumps to your gender and age band.
Age · gender · country
Mix freely. Add a country on top of your group if you want a tighter local board.
Comparability
Board vs filter
A board is one comparable class. A filter slices that same list. The rules published on the board are the source of truth — submit only if the attempt matches.
Its own board
Different activities and distances are separate boards: deadlift is not the 5K, mile is not the marathon. Launch lifts are IPF Classic (raw). Knee wraps and suited lifts would be their own boards, not a filter on Classic.
A filter on the board
Age, gender, country, and gym stay on the same board — one best mark per person in that pool. On a run board, footwear is also a filter: best Standard, super-shoe, or spikes mark on that distance. Tested status can cut too; it does not create a new activity.
Trust
What the marks on a score mean
Icons show how much we stand behind a result. More than one can appear. An official import that someone challenges keeps the official mark and adds a dispute flag.
Official
Compared against a named official source.
Verified
Attached video or result evidence was checked.
Reviewed
A registered reviewer accepted a photo of this attempt.
Proof attached
A photo or link is attached. It has not been checked yet.
Disputed
This result has been challenged as possibly fake.
Unverified scores still appear. A gym photo can support the attempt. It cannot prove someone is clean. Declared enhanced means the athlete said they used PEDs. We record the declaration. There is no verified natural badge.
Visibility
Choose who sees your name
You pick this when you submit. You can change it later.
World
Named on the public leaderboard. Also counts on your gyms and teams.
Gyms & teams
Named only on the boards you pick. Still occupies a world place as Private.
Just me
Only you can open the score. Still occupies a world place as Private.
Date of birth never appears publicly. Rows can show age at performance and a flag. Gender ranks use Men, Women, or Other. Country is the one on your profile, not where the score was done. Bodyweight is optional context in kilograms, not a weight class.
Groups
Gyms, teams, and companies
A group is a named field on the same world boards, not a new activity. Members keep their world rank. Inside the group we rank each person's best public score.
Find a gym, or use a code
Gyms are listed in Find a gym by location, and a code at the desk joins instantly. Teams usually stay unlisted and share a code. Clubs list themselves in the public directory.
Work domains
Companies can add a work email domain so anyone at that domain joins without a code. Private groups stay members-only.
Gym owners can start from iRank for gyms. If you belong to a group, that rank also shows on the score page next to world, gender, age, and country.
Countries
Country standings
The country rankings page ranks countries against each other on a board. A country's place is its best public mark, same direction as the athlete list.
We may suggest a country from your profile or connection as a shortcut. That never writes a country onto a profile. Ranked rows still use the country the athlete set.
Age
Age groups
Age is the whole years between your date of birth and the day you performed the score, not today's age. Someone who was 34 when they ran stays in 25–34 for that entry even after they turn 35.

Context
Beginner to Elite, VDOT, age grade
Levels answer a different question from world rank: how this mark sits among athletes generally. They get sharper as a board fills with real iRank marks.
Strength levels
Beginner through Elite uses published Strength Level community bands, adjusted for gender and bodyweight when you add them. World rank stays iRank's own place on the list.
Running VDOT
Jack Daniels' oxygen-cost equation turns one race time into a fitness number, then equivalent times on the other launch distances. Not a race prediction. Same fitness, another board.
Age grade
With age and male/female, we also show age grade: the time as a percentage of the open World Athletics mark on that board, after a WMA-style age factor. Rough guide: 60% local, 70% regional, 80% national, 90% world class. It is not a certified World Masters Athletics score, and it never replaces world rank. World rank is still the raw clock.
Details
Equipment, shoes, and tested status
These are facts on a score. Footwear and tested status can filter a board. Equipped lift classes would land on a different board.
Footwear on runs
Same World Athletics distance, optional cut: Standard, super shoes, or spikes. Not a separate board.
Tested status
A claim on every board, not a lab result. Declared enhanced means the athlete said they used PEDs. There is no verified natural badge.
Optional proof upgrades a row to Proof attached. An admin review of a video can mark it verified. Official imports from a named source show as Official.
