Flow:
This will be a ladder style event, both athletes work thier way through a series of stations with progressively heavier barbells. Both athletes will have 3 minutes to complete "Macho Man" barbell complex at each designated weight.
- A minumim of one athlete must complete each weight to advance
- If both athletes make it to minute 15, they both perform the last round
- Both athletes must successfully complete their lift by the 3 min mark. If athletes are still moving at the call of "3,2,1" the lift does not count.
"Macho Man" Complex
Each barbell will be preloaded, the barbell will start on the floor. Athletes must first deadlift the barbell up to their hip crease will full extension on the first rep of the hang clean. Power Cleans will be counted as a no rep & athlete will have to restart the complex. If a hang squat clean is performed on the third rep it will be counted as a front squat, meaning you will only have two more front squats to perform. The shoulder to over head can be any variation of jerk or shoulder to head movement as long as the barbell moves from the shoulders to the overhead position with knees, hips and shoulders extended in one line.
