179 Lift Off 2024

Notes

The weight of the heaviest successful snatch in kilograms is the athlete’s score.
Immediately before or after the athlete’s performance of the event, the athlete must weigh in with a judge.

Movement Standards 

Snatch
For the snatch, the athlete must bring the bar from the ground to the overhead position in one smooth motion.
At the top, the arms, hips and knees must be fully locked out with the bar directly over
the middle of the athlete’s body and the feet in line under the body. No part of the body other than the feet may touch the ground during the execution of the lift. A muscle snatch, power snatch, squat snatch or split snatch may be used. This is NOT a ground-to-overhead any way. A clean and jerk, where the bar is lifted to the shoulders and then lifted overhead, is a no rep.

Weigh-In Protocol
Athletes must record their body weight at the time of each Liftoff event performance (snatch & clean and jerk). Body weights will be submitted, along with scores, for validation. Body weights are to be recorded in whole kilograms only (no decimals). For example, if an athlete weighs in at 80.7kg their weight will be recorded as 80kg

Shoes, weight belts and knee sleeves may be removed prior to recording body weight.

Notes

The weight of the heaviest successful clean and jerk in kilograms is the athlete’s score. Immediately before or after the athlete’s performance of the event, the athlete must weigh in with a judge.

Movement Standards
Clean and Jerk
During the clean, the barbell begins on the ground and must be lifted from the ground to the shoulders in one motion. A muscle clean, power clean, split clean, or squat clean may be used, as long as the barbell comes up to the rack position on the shoulders.
Once racked, a press, push press, split jerk, or push jerk may be used to lock the barbell out overhead. The barbell must pass through the front-rack position before going overhead; snatching is not permitted.
The rep is counted when the barbell is fully locked out overhead directly over the middle of the athlete’s body, with the arms, hips, and knees extended, and the feet in line under the body. No part of the body other than the feet may touch the ground during the execution of the lift.
