At a Local competition, the number of qualifying athletes depends on the number of athletes competing ON THE DAY OF COMPETITION and follows these standards:

Events

60 second time limit. Athlete will overhead press each implement from the floor. Starting with a barbell, then an axle, and finish with a log. The log  will be for reps, clean and press every rep. Athlete will wait to receive a down command for every successful press before moving to the next. 

Equipment Allowed: 2 belt max (1 soft, 1 stiff), chalk, knee sleeves, elbow sleeves, wrist wraps, and grip shirts (USS brand not permitted).

Each athlete will have 3 attempts total and is not required to use all 3. Athlete must wait for a down command from judge to get a successful attempt. If 2 athletes shoulder the same bag, the athlete with the fastest time will win. Miss a bag and you're out.
