At the call of 3..2..1..GO, the female athlete will have 7 minutes to establish a one-rep max (1RM) snatch, starting with an empty barbell.
Partners may assist in changing weight up or down as desired by the female athlete. Collars MUST be used when lifting.
As long as the weight breaks contact with the ground, AND the barbell does not stop (i.e. hang snatch), the lift will count if successfully made.
IMMEDIATELY following the completion of the first 7 minutes, the male athlete will have 7 minutes to complete as many repetitions as possible at their partner’s weight.
This event will have two scores.
Highest percentage of female snatch to body weight ratio
