3-Position Clean and Jerk
The athlete will start on the lifting mats with the bar unloaded. On the call of 3-2-1-Go, they will load plates onto their bar, add collars, and then perform as many lifts as they want in the 4-minute window.
Any style of clean is permitted (muscle, power, squat, split) as long as the rep ends with the athlete standing with feet inline with the knees and hips fully extended with the bar on the shoulder in the front rack with the elbows in front of the bar.
Any style of overhead lift is permitted (strict press, push press, push jerk, split jerk, squat jerk) as long as the rep ends with the athlete standing with feet inline with the knees, hips, shoulders and elbows fully extended with the bar overhead in the middle of the athlete’s body when viewed from the side.
The athlete must show control at the top of each part of the lift before proceeding to the next. The judge will call “good” once each position is achieved with control.
The first clean moves the bar from the floor to the front rack. The second clean moves the bar from below the knee, off the floor, to the front rack. The third clean moves the bar from above the knee, below the hip to the front rack. The overhead moves the bar from the front rack to overhead.
Athletes do not receive credit for the lift unless all four segments are completed as an unbroken complex. Athletes may add/decrease weight at their discretion.
Handstand Walk
Rx athlete will have two minutes to transition from the Strength Pad to the Court. The athlete will start on the north end of the court behind the starting line. On the call of 3-2-1-Go, they will handstand walk as far as they can. If they complete the 60’ length of the court, they will turn around and continue back in the opposite direction. They will continue for maximum distance in two minutes. The handstand walk must be completed in 6’ unbroken segments.
The athlete must start each segment with both hands completely behind the line. Both hands must completely cross the next line before the athlete can kick down and receive credit for that segment. If the athlete is unable to completely cross the next line before they come down, they must move back to the previously completed line before their next handstand walk attempt.
