All Divisions

• Snatch: The athlete begins with the barbell on the ground and must lift it in one continuous motion from the floor to overhead with the arms fully locked out. The lift may be performed as a power snatch, squat snatch, or split snatch. At the top, the athlete must achieve a stable, fully extended position with the knees, hips, and arms locked out, and the barbell in line with the body. The rep is complete when the athlete demonstrates control before lowering the bar. A press-out, incomplete lockout, or failure to reach full extension results in a no rep.

• Hang Snatch: The athlete begins with the barbell in the hang position (anywhere above the knees) and must lift it in one continuous motion to overhead with the arms fully locked out. The lift may be performed as a power snatch, squat snatch, or split snatch. At the top, the athlete must achieve a stable, fully extended position with the knees, hips, and arms locked out, and the barbell in line with the body. The rep is complete when the athlete demonstrates control before lowering the bar. Starting from the floor, a press-out, or failure to reach full extension results in a no rep.

• Power Clean: The athlete begins with the barbell on the ground and must lift it in one motion to the front-rack position without passing through a full squat. The lift is complete when the athlete stands fully extended with the knees, hips, and elbows in front of the bar. A rep will not count if the athlete does not reach full extension, fails to secure the bar in the front-rack position, or receives the bar below parallel (which would be a squat clean).

• Front Squat: The athlete begins with the barbell in the front-rack position, supported by the shoulders and fingertips with elbows in front of the bar. The athlete must lower into a squat until the hip crease is below the top of the knee before standing back up to full extension. The rep is complete when the athlete stands fully upright with the hips and knees locked out. A rep will not count if the athlete fails to reach proper depth, does not achieve full extension at the top, or loses control of the bar.

• Jerk: The athlete begins with the barbell at the front-rack position and must drive it overhead in one continuous motion, utilizing a power jerk, push jerk, or split jerk. At the top, the athlete must achieve a stable, fully extended position with the knees, hips, and arms locked out, and the barbell in line with the body. The athlete’s feet must return to a parallel position (in the case of a split jerk), and the bar must remain directly overhead. A press-out, incomplete lockout, or failure to return the feet to a parallel position results in a no rep.

• Synchronized Power Clean: Both athletes begin with the barbell on the ground and must simultaneously lift it to the front-rack position in one motion, without passing through a full squat. The lift is complete when both athletes are fully extended with the knees, hips, and elbows in front of the bar. Both athletes must reach the front-rack position with the barbell secured in place. The rep will not count if either athlete fails to achieve full extension, does not secure the bar in the front-rack position, or if one athlete’s movement is not synchronized with the other. Both athletes must finish the lift together (at the top of the movement) for it to be counted as a valid rep.

• Pull-Up: The athlete begins by hanging from the pull-up bar with arms fully extended. For each repetition, the athlete must pull their chin above the bar while keeping the arms and body under control. The athlete may perform the pull-up as strict, kipping, or butterfly. The arms must be fully extended at the bottom of the movement, and the chin must clear the bar at the top. A rep will not count if the chin does not reach above the bar, or if the arms are not fully extended at the bottom.

• Synchronized Air Squat: Both athletes begin in a standing position with feet shoulder-width apart. The athletes must squat simultaneously until the hip crease is below the knee (full depth). They must then rise to full extension, with hips and knees fully locked out at the top. The rep is complete when both athletes are in sync, achieving the same squat depth and extension at the same time. If one athlete fails to reach full depth or extension, or the athletes are not synchronized in their movement, the rep does not count.

• Box Jump Over: The athlete begins with both feet on the ground in front of the box and must jump onto the box with both feet, landing fully on top of the box. After landing, the athlete must jump or step down to the other side without sitting or resting on the box. The rep is complete when the athlete’s hips and knees are fully extended at the top of the box and both feet have cleared it before landing on the opposite side. The box jump over is not complete if the athlete uses the hands to assist with the jump or fails to land fully on the box. Fully jumping over the box is not accepted.

• Synchronized Power Clean: Both athletes begin with the barbell on the ground and must simultaneously lift it to the front-rack position in one motion, without passing through a full squat. The lift is complete when both athletes are fully extended with the knees, hips, and elbows in front of the bar. Both athletes must reach the front-rack position with the barbell secured in place. The rep will not count if either athlete fails to achieve full extension, does not secure the bar in the front-rack position, or if one athlete’s movement is not synchronized with the other. Both athletes must finish the lift together (at the top of the movement) for it to be counted as a valid rep.
• Ring Row: The athlete begins by gripping the rings and positioning their body at an angle with the heels on the ground (directly on the tape line with toes up). They must pull themselves towards the rings by engaging the back and arms, bringing the chest to the rings while keeping the body in a straight line from head to heels. The rep is complete when the athlete's chest makes contact with the rings, and the arms are fully extended at the bottom of the movement. Any bending or excessive swinging of the body, or failing to fully extend the arms, results in a no rep. The rings will be set to 36 inches from the floor to the bottom of the rings. If the athlete has the skill, pull-ups may be performed in place of ring rows.
• Synchronized Air Squat: Both athletes begin in a standing position with feet shoulder-width apart. The athletes must squat simultaneously until the hip crease is below the knee (full depth). They must then rise to full extension, with hips and knees fully locked out at the top. The rep is complete when both athletes are in sync, achieving the same squat depth and extension at the same time. If one athlete fails to reach full depth or extension, or the athletes are not synchronized in their movement, the rep does not count.
• Box Step Over: The athlete begins by standing in front of a box, with feet shoulder-width apart. They must step one foot at a time onto the box, ensuring both feet are on top of the box before stepping down with the same foot, returning to the ground. The movement is complete when both feet are on the box before stepping down. A rep will not count if the athlete fails to step fully onto the box. If the athlete has the skill, box jumps or box jump overs may be performed in place of box step overs.

Movement Standards

RX Division

• Toes to Bar: The athlete begins hanging from a pull-up bar with arms fully extended and feet off the ground. Each repetition consists of the athlete raising their legs and touching their toes to the bar with the body remaining straight or slightly bent. The legs must pass through full extension at the bottom of the movement. To count as a valid rep, the toes must make contact with the bar above the horizontal plane of the bar and both feet must touch the bar simultaneously. Any failure to achieve full extension at the bottom or incomplete contact with the bar results in a no rep.
• Handstand Push-Ups: The athlete begins in a handstand position, with their hands on 10lb plates, and must lower their head to touch the provided abmats. The elbows must pass below the horizontal line of the shoulders to complete the descent. The athlete then presses back up to full lockout, with arms fully extended and head through at the top. Any failure to lower the head sufficiently, lack of full lockout, or not maintaining balance throughout the movement results in a no rep.
• Double Dumbbell Devil’s Press: The athlete begins with two dumbbells on the ground, standing above them. The rep begins with the athlete bending down to grasp both dumbbells and performing a burpee with the chest touching the ground. Upon rising, the athlete must jump the feet forward to bring them beneath the hips and then, in one continuous motion, press both dumbbells overhead (snatch or hang snatch) with arms fully extended. The athlete must show control at the top, with the dumbbells locked out and in line with the body. Any failure to achieve full extension or losing control of the dumbbells at the top results in a no rep.
  If the athlete has the skill, handstand push-ups may be performed in place of double dumbbell strict presses.

• Wall Walk: The athlete begins in a plank position with the hands on the floor and feet against a wall. The athlete's chest and thighs must touch the floor before the first movement begins. The athlete must then walk the feet up the wall while simultaneously walking the hands back toward the wall until the chest touches the wall and the body is fully in a vertical position. The rep is complete when both of the athlete’s hands make contact with the tape line and the body is fully extended, with the arms locked out. The athlete must then reverse the movement, walking the hands away from the wall and lowering the feet until they return to the starting plank position. Any failure to maintain control, incomplete hand or foot movement, or improper body alignment results in a no rep.

Tape Line Measurements

• 1st Line - 10 inches away from wall (both hands must touch)
• 2nd Line - 55 inches away from wall for females
• 3rd Line - 60 inches away from wall for males

BAM Division

• Knees Above Parallel: The athlete begins hanging from a pull-up bar with the arms fully extended and must raise the knees toward the chest, bringing the thighs at least parallel to the ground. The movement is complete when the athlete achieves full knee flexion with the knees above the hips, and the legs return to full extension before beginning the next rep. A rep will not count if the knees do not reach the required height, the legs do not break the plane of the rig, or if the legs do not fully extend at the bottom.

• Double Dumbbell Strict Press: The athlete begins with a dumbbell in each hand, held at shoulder height with the elbows in front of the body and the palms facing forward. The athlete must press both dumbbells overhead in one continuous motion without using any momentum from the lower body. The rep is complete when the arms are fully extended overhead, with the elbows locked out and the dumbbells in line with the body. Any bending of the knees, use of the legs, or failure to fully extend the arms results in a no rep.

• Single Dumbbell Devil’s Press: The athlete begins with two dumbbells on the ground, standing above them. The rep begins with the athlete bending down to grasp the dumbbell and performing a burpee with the chest touching the ground. Upon rising, the athlete must jump the feet forward to bring them beneath the hips and then, in one continuous motion, press the dumbbell overhead (snatch or hang snatch) with arms fully extended. The athlete must show control at the top, with the dumbbells locked out and in line with the body. Any failure to achieve full extension or losing control of the dumbbell at the top results in a no rep. The athlete is not required to alternate arms.

• Scaled Wall Walk: The athlete begins lying face down with their hands positioned on the floor and feet against the wall. On the start signal, the athlete must move their hands and feet up the wall while maintaining a straight body position. The athlete's chest and thighs must touch the floor before the first movement begins. At the top of the wall walk, the athlete must get their feet past the designated tape line on the floor and cross the tape line with both hands. At the bottom, the athlete must return to the floor with their hands inside the designated tape marks. Each rep is complete when the athlete’s hands and feet return to the floor with both feet clearly inside the marked area at the base of the wall. Any failure to meet the required tape line or body position will result in a no rep.
