1 rep Max Back Squat

Back Squat: Strength
1 rep max back squat
Athletes have 5 minutes on the clock to make as many attempts as they would like for a 1 rep Back Squat.
Bars will start empty and after “3, 2, 1, Go”, athletes will load their own bars, clips must be on the bar, for the rep to count.
Athletes must begin the rep with full hip extension, squat into a full depth squat (hip crease below the top of the knee), and then reach full hip extension at the top, for the rep to count.
If the athlete fails an attempt, they are responsible for re-racking their weight for another attempt.
If a spotter touches the athlete, or the bar, the rep will not count.
Scores will be calculated using the Wilks Coefficient based on bodyweight during check-in that morning.
