Movement standards

 

Lateral burpees over the barbell

The burpee must be performed parallel/next the barbell. The athlete jumps or steps back to lie on the ground. The chest and thighs must touch the ground at the bottom. Hands and feet must remain inside shoulder width at the bottom of the burpee. From this position, the athlete can step or jump to their feet. The athlete must jump over the barbell using a two-foot takeoff. Single-legged jumping or stepping over is not permitted. The athlete does not need to land with both feet at the same time. The rep is credited when both feet have touched the ground on the opposite side of the barbell. Before starting the next rep, the athlete must be parallel/next the barbell.

​

Toes Through Rings

​

In the toes-through-rings, the athlete must go from a full hang to having the toes through the rings. At the start of each rep, the arms must be fully extended and the heels must be brought back behind the rings. Athletes may wear hand protection. Overhand, underhand, or mixed grip are all permitted. The rep is credited when both feet go through the rings at the same time, between the hands.

 

Overhead Squat

​

The barbell is on the ground, loaded with weights. Athlete moves the barbell from ground to overhead (in any way) and can begin the set of overhead squats. A full squat snatch will count as a repetition as long as all the requirements are met.
In the overhead squat, the barbell must be kept overhead with the arms locked. At the bottom, the crease of the hips must pass below the height of the kneecap. At the top, the knees and hips must be completely open with the barbell in control and over the heels.
