Barbell Hang Squat Cleans

Rep must start with the barbell in the hang position with knees and hips fully extended. Athletes may use a "high hang" or "low hang" position when completing the hang portion of the lift, as long as the plates don't touch the ground.

Rep starts with the athlete lying down on the bench with elbows fully extended at the top of the press. For a rep to be counted, athletes must lower the dumbbells and touch any part of the dumbbell on their chest before returning to lock out position to complete the rep. If either dumbbell doesn't touch the chest, it will be called a no rep and that rep will have to be completed again.

 MOVEMENT STANDARDS 

Synchro Sandbag Ground to Shoulder

Each rep begins with the sandbag on the ground and finishes with the bag clearly on one shoulder with the athlete standing at full hip and knee extension. The sandbag must be lifted from the ground in one continuous motion (any grip or technique is allowed). The rep is credited when control is shown on the shoulder with the opposite or non-working arm outstretched to the side. The synchro rep will be counted when both athletes are standing at full hip and knee extension. This doesnt have to happen simultaneously, one may wait for the other to get to full lockout before moving to the next rep.

Synchro Burpee Box Jump Overs

The burpee is performed with both athletes facing the box. Synchro will count when BOTH athlete's chest and thighs are on the floor. The athletes then jump onto the box and are requires to STEP DOWN on the other side of the box. A two-foot takeoff is required for the jump onto the box. The rep is credited when both athlete's feet touch the ground on the far side. Missing chest to floor, stepping onto the box, or not jumping with two feet are no-reps. No synchro is required for the jump or the step down.

Synchro Alternating Sandbag Lunges (on shoulder)

The sandbag starts on one shoulder and must remain there throughout the set. The athlete steps back into a lunge, touching the back knee to the floor, and returning to full hip and knee extension. Legs must alternate each rep. The synchro rep is credited when both athletes stand tall with control. Failing to touch the knee on the floor and not reaching full extension together will be no reps. No synchro is required for the knee touch, only to complete each rep.

Synchro Alternating Single Arm Dumbbell Devil's Press

The movement starts with one dumbbell on the ground. The athlete performs a burpee with the chest and hips touching the floor and with one hand on the dumbbell handle. The athlete lifts dumbbell from the floor to a locked-out overhead position in one continuous motion OR passing through the shoulder into a press. The synchro rep is credited when both athlete's arms are locked out overhead with hips, knees and elbow fully extended, and the dumbbell is stacked over the midline. The next rep must be performed with the opposite arm. Finishing without full lockout, or not alternating arms are no-reps. Synchro is required at the top of the rep only, and doesn't have to happen simultaneously.

If the ball touches any part of the line or the athlete fails to reach full depth on the squat, it will be deemed as a no rep. You may squat clean the first rep as long as you meet squat depth requirements.

Barbell Hang Clean & Jerk

Each rep starts from the hang with knees and hips extended, and finishes with the barbell locked out overhead. The clean must be received on the shoulders, then moved from the shoulders to the overhead position. The rep is credited when the bar is overhead with elbows, hips and knees fully extended, and the bar over the midline under control. Power or squat clean and any style of jerk are permitted. Not standing fully before moving into the next rep will be deemed a no rep. Low hang or high hang are permitted, as long as the plates don't touch the floor between reps.

Toes to Bar

The athlete starts from a full hang on the pull-up bar. Both feet must make contact with the bar at the same time between the hands. At the bottom of each rep, the arms must be fully extended and the feet must pass behind the vertical plane of the bar. The rep is credited when both toes clearly touch the bar simultaneously.

Barbell Thrusters

The movement begins with the bar in the front rack. The athlete must squat until the hip crease is below the top of the knee, then stand and drive the bar overhead in one continuous motion. The rep is credited when the bar is locked out overhead with arms straight, hips and knees fully extended, and the bar over the midline under control. A full squat, continuous drive, and clear overhead lockout are required for the rep to count. You may squat clean the first rep.
