2018 TEAM EVENT – “MAX LIFTS” & “SPRINT CRAWL”

Max Lifts

Team Event 2 – Strength Pad

In 3 minutes one M/F Pair will each establish a max:

3 RM Thruster

* 1 minute after the lifting window is complete, athletes will start the Sprint Crawl;
* 1 minute after the lifting window is complete, the second pair of athletes will begin their lifts.

In 3 minutes one M/F Pair will each establish a max:

5 RM Overhead Squat

* 1 minute after the lifting window is complete, athletes will start the Sprint Crawl;

Each platform will have a mens (45#) and womens (35#) barbell, 4×45#, 2×35#, 4×25#, 2×15#, 2×10#, 2×5#, 2×2.5# plates, and two sets of collars.

A male and female bar will start unloaded with weight for each lifting platform in a clearly designated area. On 3-2-1-Go, the first male and female pair will start loading their barbells to make as many attempts at a 3RM Thruster as time allows. Once time is called, the pair will have 1 minute to transition to the start of the Sprint Crawl. During this time, the second male and female will advance to the platform. The second M/F pair may not touch the barbells during the transition. At 4 minutes on the clock, the second pair will begin to establish a max 5RM Overhead Squat. Likewise, after 3 minutes (7 minutes on the clock) the pair will transition to the Sprint Crawl. Score is the total of the Male 3RM Thruster + Female 3RM Thruster + Male 5 RM Overhead Squat + Female 5RM Overhead Squat.

During a lift, only one athlete and one barbell may be on the platform at a time. Barbells not being used must be rolled off of the platform. The non-working athlete may not load / unload their barbell while their partner is working. Clips must be used during all attempts.

Thruster
The barbell will start on the ground – no racks will be provided. The thruster begins with a front squat, with the hip crease below parallel. Then, in one continuous motion, the barbell will be lifted overhead to full lockout of the knees, hips, and elbows. A squat clean may be used for the first rep. “Thruster-Jerks” / a rebend of the elbow when the barbell is overhead, is a No Rep. All reps in the complex, must be completed before time is called for the load to count.

Overhead Squat
The barbell will start on the ground – no racks will be provided. The Barbell will be lifted into the overhead position anyhow. The rep begins when the hip crease reaches below parallel, the rep is complete when the hips and knees are fully extended with the load overhead. A squat snatch for the first rep is allowed, so long as depth is met. All reps in the complex, must be completed before time is called for the load to count.

Sprint Crawl

Team Event 3 – Field

For Total Time
Each M/F Pair – Park Lap + Low Crawl

The male and female pair that completed the 3RM Thruster in the “Max Lift” event will go first. They will begin at 4:00 on the clock. On 3-2-1-Go, they will complete the park lap (including a low crawl) for time. Partners will be required to run holding a rope keeping them together. Their time will be logged. At 8 min on the clock, the second pair (who completed the 5RM Overhead Squat in the “Max Lift” event) will begin their part. Each pair will complete for two separate scores which will be totaled for a single event time.
