Event Rules

*for all events, no tacky of any kind allowed; all events will have at least 2 lanes

60 second time limit. Max reps.

Tires will be used on the axle bars along with metal plates. Athletes with OH weights under 200# will use the smaller tires, over 200# will use larger tires, which affects the pick height of the axle bar only.

Athlete will start off the mat and must clean the axle once and press away.   Axle can be set down to rest and be re-cleaned, but only one clean is necessary. Belt cleans are allowed. Axle can be pressed overhead using strict press, push press, jerk press, split jerk.   However, feet must be returned to in-line and control shown with head through before they will receive a down command.

Athlete must return the axle to rack position (below the chin) between each rep. If the athlete fails to wait for the down command or return to the rack position, the judge will not give you the rep. If no down command is received on any rep, athlete will receive a zero for the event.

Tires will have decent bounce when dropped, so try to control the bar down when possible.

Gear allowed: grip shirts, wrist wraps, elbow/knee sleeves, belts, chalk

Three attempts per athlete, rising bar.

Starting weights will be determined on day of comp, 10# jumps for women; 20# jumps for men.

Handles will be up on trap bar.

Straps are allowed, but fingers must remain around bar. 60 seconds per attempt, including strap in time.

Rising bar, athletes jump in for their 3 attempts, no repeat attempts – once you fail a lift you are done, even if you have not completed all three attempts.   If you fail your first attempt, you will receive a zero for the event. Highest successful lift will count for score.
