Standards
On 3-2-1-Go, the athlete will move to their barbell and perform 45 bar facing burpees. Once complete, the athlete will perform 45 overhead/front squats. Once complete, the athlete will move to the rig and perform 45 toes to bar/toes to hip level. After the last rep, the athlete will run to the finish. Time is called when the athlete reaches the finish area.
Once the athlete reaches the finish, they can move back to the barbell and use the remaining time to establish their heaviest snatch/clean.
This is a two-score event: time to complete the triplet and heaviest weight lifted.
Bar Facing Burpee: Burpees must be performed perpendicular to and facing the barbell. Chest and thighs must touch the ground with the head behind the barbell. Stepping and/or jumping back to the starting position are both permitted. Must jump over the barbell using a two-foot takeoff. Scaled division may step over the bar. The rep is credited when both feet have touched the ground on the opposite side of the barbell. No need to land with both feet at the same time. If a “no rep” is received for any reason, the entire rep must be repeated.
Overhead Squat: In the overhead squat, the hip crease must be below the top of the knee at the bottom. A full squat snatch is permitted but not required to start the movement if depth is achieved. The barbell must come to full lockout overhead, with the athlete’s hips, knees, and arms fully extended, and the bar directly over the middle of the body.
Front Squat: In the front squat, the hip crease must be below the top of the knee at the bottom. A full squat clean is permitted but not required to start the movement if depth is achieved. The barbell must come to full lockout in the front rack, with the athlete’s hips and knees fully extended.
Toes to Bar: For the toes to bar, begin by hanging from the pull-up bar with arms extended. Heels must be brought back behind the bar. Wrapping tape around the bar is not permitted. Athletes may use gymnastics grips. The rep is credited when both feet come in contact with the bar at the same time, between the hands. Any part of the feet may make contact with the bar.
Toes to Hip Level: begin by hanging from the pull-up bar with arms extended. Heels must be brought back behind the bar. The rep is credited when both toes come above the athlete’s hips at the same time. Knees may be bent or straight as long as toes are brought above the hips.
Snatch: The barbell begins on the ground for the snatch. The rep is complete when the athlete’s arms, hips and knees are fully extended with the bar locked-out overhead. Power snatch and squat snatch are permitted. Hang snatches are not permitted.
Clean: The barbell begins on the ground for the clean. The rep is complete when the athlete’s hips and knees are fully extended and the bar is resting on the shoulders in the front-rack position. Power cleans and squat cleans are permitted. Hang cleans are not permitted.
The athlete must remain on the mats for all weightlifting movements. Stepping off the mats will result in a no-rep. All unused plates must be cleared from the mats into the designated area. Failure to move unused plates off the mats will result in a no-rep. Athletes must use collars for every lift.
