Movement Standards:
Thruster: Barbell will begin loaded on the floor. Athletes may power Clean into their squat or squat clean their first rep so long as the athlete reaches below parallel (hip crease below the top of the knee). The Athlete will take the barbell in front rack position from the bottom of the squat to overhead in one motion. The athlete must finish with their hips, knees and arms fully locked out with the bar in line with the ears. If an athlete does not reach full depth in the squat or full extension at the top, they will be given a no rep. Synchronization for the thruster will be both athletes reaching full squat depth at the same time, as well as showing lockout over head at the end of the rep.
Synchro Bar Facing Burpees: Two athletes will begin on the same side of the bar facing forward. They will both go to the ground touching their chest and hips to the floor at the same time, come up to two feet, can step or jump, and they can step or jump over the bar (doesn't have to be synchro).
No reps will be given if the athletes do not touch their chest and hips to the floor, aren't synchronized at the bottom with their partners.
Chest to Bar: Athletes will jump or step into their hang with arms extended before their pull-up. The rep counts when both athletes chests touches the bar at the same time. Being high enough, but not physically touching the bar will be a no rep. Any grip is allowed.
Pullups: Athletes will jump or step into their hang with arms extended before their pull-up. The rep counts when both athletes chins is clearly over the bar at the same time. Any grip is allowed.
Ring Rows: Athletes will be measured prior to the workout with their feet on the line and the bottom of the rings set to the top of the hip. Both Athletes will descend back keeping their feet on the line and finish their rep with both shoulders touching the rings at the same time before descending back down.
BMU: Athletes will jump or step into their hang position, perform the bar muscle up and stop with shoulders over the bar and arms clearly locked out of the dip. Athletes will complete the synchronization at the top of the rep with arms completely locked out. Glide kips or feet coming over the bar will be a no rep. Athletes may rest at the top of the bar, but their hands can not come off the bar and be replaced back on. We will not allow athletes to put a box behind them and jump into the bar, we will allow j-hooks for athletes to step onto or the box that is shared between bars (which can’t be moved).

Standards:
Snatch: To begin the athlete will Snatch the bar from the floor using any style (Power, Split, or Squat). The athlete must start with the bar at a dead stop. Starting from the hip and lowering to the floor is not allowed. The snatch must be caught in the overhead position, if it touches the shoulders, chest or head on the way up, it will not count. An elbow bend will NOT be an automatic no rep should a press out occur.
SCALED - Clean: Any style clean is permitted as long as the start and finish are met. Bar must be pulled from the ground into your clean (starting with a hang will not count). Athletes must receive that bar on the shoulders with elbows clearly in front of the bar, standing tall with feet in line with the hips, hips and knees open before lowering the bar. Bouncing the bar off the ground will cause no rep. Lowering the bar before reaching full extension and receiving a “good rep” from your judge will mean the athlete received a no rep and it must be re-done. If you split your clean, feet must come back under the hips.
