Time Limit: 60 seconds

Scoring: Max Reps

On the start command of the judge, athlete will have 60 seconds to complete as many clean and press each rep as possible.  The bell can be cleaned with two hands, but the supporting hand must be removed before the athlete begins the press.  The judge will give a down command for a good rep. If a down command is not given and the athlete drops the bell, no rep is given.  A down command will be given when the athlete has pressed the bell overhead and has a locked elbow, standing straight up and down, squared feet, control of the implement, and looking at the judge.  If any athlete has an elbow lockout issue, it is their responsibility to notify the judge before the event on their turn.  Once the athlete gets a down command, they must have the bell touch the floor before beginning the next press attempt.  The bell can be dropped overhead but MUST be done with control and guided to the floor.  A “tree drop” will result in a ZERO for the event.  Please respect the equipment.  The bell must be dropped on the stall mats.

On the start command of the judge, the athlete will pick up the yoke and carry it 50 feet down.  Once the tip of the yoke crosses the line, the athlete will drop the yoke, turn around, re-pick the yoke and carry it 50 feet back.  If the athlete does not finish the total run in 60 seconds, a distance will be taken.  Athlete has unlimited drops.  A slide penalty of 5 seconds will be given to anyone who slides the yoke.

Athlete will start standing behind the first barbell.  On the start command of the judge, the athlete will strap into the barbell (if using straps) and begin pulling.  Judges will be giving only a Down command on the first two deadlifts in the ladder. The final deadlift in the ladder does require an Up and up-and-down command.  No touch-and-go reps. Judges are looking for the final deadlift implement to rest completely on the floor before giving the up command. Athletes will only be given a down command when a good rep is completed. Athletes must be completely locked out with minimal swing before being given the Down command.  Judges are looking for shoulders back, hips through, knees locked.  If the bar is dropped before the down command, no rep will be given. The athletes can attempt an additional rep but will require an additional Up command.  If the bar is lifted before the up command, no rep will be given.  Hands must remain closed on the bar at all times. No finger-tipping the bar while using straps.  Deliberately dropping the barbell from the top will result in a ZERO for the event. Please respect the equipment. This event will be run using the following deadlift variations. 

1. Texas Deadlift Bar (1 rep) - Standard 9" Bar Height. Athletes must complete one successful rep before moving on to the next deadlift.
 

2. Trap Bar (1rep) - Handles are at a 14" Bar Height. Athletes must complete one successful rep before moving on to the next deadlift.
