Log Press for Reps

Athletes will start the event with their hands off the log on the crash pads prior to the start of the lift.  Full extension by the arms with the feet in the same plane must be achieved to receive the verbal “down” command and visual hand-movement from the judge.  Beating of the “down” command and/or hand-movement is a “no-lift” and will not be counted.  The athlete’s hands must maintain contact with the implement on the descent; any dropping of the log will result in an automatic disqualification.  Knee sleeves, elbow sleeves, wrist wraps, soft belt, hard belt, grip shirts, and chalk are allowed.  The log cannot be rested on the head and will be considered a no-lift.  One minute to complete the event; the most reps in a minute wins the event.  Athlete must clean and press every rep.  135lb Rouge log for open male athletes, 100lb FCSS log for women and novice men.

The athlete will start with their hands off the sandbag, which will be standing vertically.  The sandbag must be shouldered with the opposing arm extended out, knees locked and feet in the same plane to receive the “down” command and visual hand-movement from the judge for a complete lift.  The athlete must drop the sandbag behind them after the verbal and visual command.  Multiple picks are allowed.  Knee sleeves, elbow sleeves, wrist wraps, soft belt, hard belt, gloves, and grip shirts are allowed.  Golf tack is the only grip substance allowed; any other grip substance is forbidden and will result in disqualification.  One minute to complete the lift; biggest sandbag in the fastest time wins the event.  Athletes can elect to do a lighter bag and go up in weight, but biggest bag lifted in time counts.
