Max Shoulder-to-Overhead From Rack:

At the command of "Go" the athlete will take the bar from the rack to their shoulders. The athlete will press the bar overhead using any method (i.e. strict press, push press, push jerk, split jerk). The rep is complete when the athlete demonstrates control with the bar locked out overhead with both feet under hips, and hips and knees locked out. Weight will go up in 20 lbs increments for men and 10 lbs increments for women. The athlete has 60 seconds from the "Go" command to complete the lift. Three attempts will be allowed and athletes may not go down in weight. The athlete must wait for the down command before lowering the bar back to the rack in order for the rep to count.

If the athlete cannot complete the rep within 60 seconds the prior successful lift will be the score. All athletes will use a standard 45 lbs barbell. 

Allowed: Knee sleeves, elbow sleeves/wraps, grip shirt, belt, wrist wraps

Not allowed: Suits and briefs, tacky

At the command of "Go" the athlete will complete one deadlift at each of 4 bars of ascending weight. On the 4th bar, the athlete will complete as many reps as possible. There is a 60 second time limit for the event. The first 2 deadlifts will be on stiff bars; the second 2 deadlifts will be on deadlift bars. The athlete must wait for the "Down" command on every lift for the lift to count. The score for the event is reps achieved. Tiebreaker is time.
