EVENTS:

Axle CP/Log CP/Sandbag press - Athletes will have a total of 60 seconds to press all three implements in any order they choose. The goal is to complete all presses as quickly as possible, with the fastest time earning the most points. Each lift must end in a full lockout position with the feet together, and athletes must wait for the official down command before releasing the implement and moving on to the next. Athletes may fail and retry as many times, or skip an implement and return to any failed implement before time cap. Rep only counts if completed.

If all three implements are successfully pressed within the time limit, the athlete will receive a “3” rep count, and their time will be recorded at the moment the final implement is locked out. If not all implements are completed, the score will reflect the number of successful presses. Once the 60 seconds expire, rep cannot be completed. Split times will be recorded on the medley.

Equipment allowed - Grip shirt, knee/elbow sleeves/wraps, chalk, soft belt (1), hard belt (1), wrist wraps
