AYLESBURY WEIGHTLIFTING SUMMER OPEN

CFAY Weightlifting Competition – Sinclair Total

Please note this is not an official BWL comp.

Our CrossFit Aylesbury Weightlifting Competition will be an Olympic weightlifting competition where athletes will compete in the Snatch and the Clean & Jerk, just like in official weightlifting competitions.

The competition will be scored using the Sinclair formula, which adjusts each lifter’s total based on their bodyweight. This allows lifters of different bodyweights to compete fairly against each other, with the winner being the athlete with the highest Sinclair total, not just the heaviest lifts.

How it works:

• Athletes will weigh in before the competition.

• Each athlete will have 3 attempts at the Snatch.

• Each athlete will then have 3 attempts at the Clean & Jerk.

• Your best Snatch and best Clean & Jerk are added together to give your total.

• Your total is then converted into a Sinclair score based on your bodyweight.

• The athlete with the highest Sinclair score wins.
