SCORE is Total of each athletes best completed lifts.
NOTES: Teams may have as many attempts as they like but will only have the designated time to complete the lift. The weight on the bar can go up or down. Only one athlete lifting at a time. The “transition time” will be for athlete to strip the bar, setup the rack to the required position and load for their first attempt.
MOVEMENT STANDARDS:
- Deadlift: Full extension of Knees and Hips at top position, with shoulders behind the bar. Athletes must wait for a “Good Lift” to be given before putting the bar back down onto the ground.
- OHS / Fr / Back Squat: Normal squatting rules apply here. Bar remains locked in movement-required position. The Athlete's crease of the hip clearly pass below the knee, before the athlete stands to full extension. Failure to get to depth or reach full extension will result in a no-rep. [If you have any reason that you cannot make depth, please notify your judge beforehand and you will be scaled appropriately].
For OHS, the rep will be completed once the athlete has the bar completely locked out overhead. Failure to completely lock out elbows, hips and knees will also result in a no-rep.
- Bench Press: Bar can be assisted to start position by partner, BUT to begin the lift the athlete must start with arms locked out, bar resting above chest. Bar will be lowered until both the bar touches the chest AND elbows are seen below shoulder height. The bar will then be returned to start lockout position. Once the judge has given the “Good Lift” only then can the partner assist to get the bar back into the rack. If the partner is seen to touch the bar in anyway during the lift, it will be deemed a no lift!
