Upon receiving "Athlete Ready Command", Athletes will clean and press a mouser block overhead.

Time will continue until the athlete's arms/elbows drop and they lose overhead control of the block. Athlete has :60 to clean the block before they will receive a "times up". Once the athlete has sucessfully locked out the block, there will be no time cap on the hold. 

The block may not be rested on the head or the belt. If block is rested on the head or belt the block will be returned to the floor and must be cleaned again. Athletes MUST maintain control of the block at all times and control the blocks down crash pads.

Athlete will be given a "Buzzer" command/sound indicating that the :60 time clock has started. Athlete will then begin their squat to the blocks. Athlete will be given a "Good" command at the bottom of their squat indicating that both sides of the implement have simultaneously touched or rested on the blocks/arms. If both sides have not touched down prior to the ascent, athlete will be called for a "No Rep" and the squat will not count. Athletes have :60 to perform as many reps as possible. Athletes do not need to stand all the way back up if they receive a no rep. They can descend back into the squat position to receive a "Good" call before standing back up. Athletes may pause in the bottom of the squat, but as soon as they disconnect (Lift hands off of bar, Remove bar from shoulders, etc), their time is up.
