Athletes will have three attempts at a max barbell complex (2 Deadlifts, 1 Hang Clean above the knee, 1 clean from the ground, 1 Shoulder-to-Overhead). This will be divided into three rounds per heat. In a two-minute round, both athletes will share the time to execute a max lift. Two minutes of rest will follow each round for athletes to change their barbell weight. 

Workout Flow Details:

Athletes will have a 4-minute setup window to:

• Move to lane.
• Check in with judge.
• Complete any final warm-up reps after checking in with their judge.
• Set opening weight & confirm weight with their judge.

After Setup window is complete:

• There will be three 2-minute lifting windows per team with a 2:00 rest & weight change period between working rounds.
• Both Male & Female partners will share the 2:00 window to complete 1 barbell complex each per round.
• Only 1 partner can lift at a time.
• Only 1 attempt per partner, per round.

• Athletes are permitted to wear lifting belts, knee sleeves, and knee wraps.
• Athletes are NOT permitted to wear lifting straps or gloves.
• Athletes are allowed to receive assistance loading the bar from their teammate for their next lift.
• All teams within the heat will lift in the same 2:00 window.
• After each 2-minute lifting window, athletes will have 2:00 to rest & change weights and confirm upcoming barbell load with their judge.
• This process repeats for each heat for 3 rounds in total
• Athletes are allowed to add or remove weight between rounds.
• Upon completion of the final lift, athletes will have 2 minutes to sign their score card, collect their belongings, and exit the workout area.
  Barbell Complex Standards

General Standards:

• Each rep is credited when:The athlete’s hips and knees reach full extension, and the athlete’s head and shoulders are behind the bar
• Second deadlift rep must be “touch & go”.
• A quick breath or two at the top of each lift is permitted.
• Do not drop the bar after completing both deadlifts- proceed with the hang clean.

Hang Clean:

• Squat or power are allowed.

Shoulder-to-Overhead:

• Any version of shoulder to overhead is allowed (strict press, push press, power/push, or split jerk).
• Pause for 1 second at the top of the rep to show your judge you have met the movement standards (don't spike the bar to the ground and celebrate immediately upon completion - show us that you actually have completed the lift and are in control). This standard is here to give our judges enough time to confirm standards are met.
• Each rep is credited when the athlete’s hips, knees, and elbows reach full extension with the barbell overhead and feet are under the hips. For the Oly lifters out there, a press-out is okay for us CrossFitters.
