Barbell Complex Standards
General Standards:
The barbell complex includes 2 deadlifts, 1 hang clean, 1 clean, and 1 shoulder to overhead.
Each attempt of the barbell complex begins with the barbell on the ground.
Collars must be placed outside the plates before beginning any attempt.
The full barbell complex must be completed before returning the bar to the ground.
A quick regrip between cleans is permitted, but intentionally resting with the bar tucked into your hips is not.
Any successful attempt where the bar leaves the ground before the 2-minute time cap per round will count.
Deadlift:
The barbell starts on the ground.
The athlete’s hands must be outside the knees- sumo deadlifts are not allowed.
Each rep is credited when:The athlete’s hips and knees reach full extension, and the athlete’s head and shoulders are behind the bar
Second deadlift rep must be “touch & go”.
A quick breath or two at the top of each lift is permitted.
Do not drop the bar after completing both deadlifts- proceed with the hang clean.
Hang Clean:
Squat or power are allowed.
Lift must begin from above the knee after completing the second deadlift.
Barbell must remain in hands and cannot be dropped before progressing to the clean from the ground.
A quick breath or two after completing the hang clean lift is permitted with the barbell on the shoulders or standing in a deadlift-like finish position.
The rep is credited when:Barbell is in contact with shoulders.
The athlete’s hips & knees are fully extended - shoulders above hips.
Elbows are slightly in front of the barbell OR higher.
Clean:
Lift must begin with weight on the ground after completing the hang power clean.
Athletes may not rest with the weight on the ground- this rep should be performed “touch & go”.
The rep is credited when:Barbell is in contact with shoulders.
Elbows are slightly in front of the barbell OR higher.
Athlete can go from the receiving position straight into the shoulder to overhead without standing to full hip & knee extension. However, it must be clear that the athlete is fully in control of the barbell.
If athlete prefers, they can stand to full hip & knee extension before progressing onto the shoulder to overhead. Taking a few breaths here is okay.
Shoulder-to-Overhead:
Any version of shoulder to overhead is allowed (strict press, push press, power/push, or split jerk).
Pause for 1 second at the top of the rep to show your judge you have met the movement standards (don't spike the bar to the ground and celebrate immediately upon completion - show us that you actually have completed the lift and are in control). This standard is here to give our judges enough time to confirm standards are met.
Each rep is credited when the athlete’s hips, knees, and elbows reach full extension with the barbell overhead and feet are under the hips. For the Oly lifters out there, a press-out is okay for us CrossFitters.
Scoring:
Total weight of Male and Female Athlete's Heaviest Lifts. Male lift of 195lbs and Female lift of 225lbs = 420lbs. No tie break - tied teams will split points.
Any successful attempt where the bar leaves the ground before the 2-minute time cap per round will count.
