2019 BATTLE OF THE FITTEST - QUALIFIER 3

21-15-9 Reps For Time

• Thrusters
• Toes to Bar

Qualifier 3 is a 21-15-9 workout that includes Thrusters, and Toes-to-Bar with 10 minutes time cap. The workout begins with the barbell on the floor and the athlete standing tall behind the barbell. When the timer starts, the athlete must complete 21 Thrusters and 21 Toes-to-Bar , then 15 thrusters and 15 pull-ups, then 9 thrusters and 9 pull-ups, as fast as possible.

For the Thrusters, with the barbell starts on the ground, the athlete lifts the barbell from the bottom to a front squat and then press the barbell up to full lockout overhead with the hips, knees and arms fully extended, and the bar directly over the middle of the athlete’s body. The hip crease must clearly pass below the top of the knees in the bottom position.

In the Toes-to-Bar, the athlete must go from a full hang to having the toes touch the pull-up bar. Both feet must touch the bar together, inside the hands. The arms and hips must be fully extended at the bottom and the feet must be brought back to behind the bar, not out front.

The No Reps during Thrusters are:

• When the hips and knees do not reach full extension, and the head and shoulders are not behind the bar.
• When the athlete push jerk the barbell from front squat position.
• When the arms are not fully extended.

The No reps during the Toes-to-Bar are:

• When the athlete starts and ends the movement with bent arms.
• When the athlete fails to reach backward extension over the bar at the end of the movement
• When the athlete fails to tap the bar with both feet at the same time.

The score is the time taken to complete the workout within the 10-minute cap.
