Team Flow
Teams may start with Female 1’s opening weight on the bar. At the call of 3-2-1 GO! Female 1 and Female 2 will work for 6 minutes to establish each of their heaviest lifts in the complex respectively. At the end of 6 minutes, all four athletes have 1 minute to transition from the female to male barbell if desired. The athletes are permitted to start with Male 1’s opening weight on the bar. Male 1 and Male 2 will work for 6 minutes to establish each of their heaviest lifts in the complex.
The total weight of the females’ complexes is Score 1. The total weight of the males’ complexes is Score 2.
** Key Points for Teams** There will be a male and female bar available for use, respectively. The M/F pair not actively working must remain in the starting box. The M/F athlete actively lifting are permitted on the platform. The second athlete is permitted in the vicinity near the platform, designated by the judge. Only 1 bar may be loaded at a time. Female bars may be stripped down before their allotted time expires, however teams cannot begin loading the male bar until the transition minute has begun. Athletes are permitted to move up and down in weight as they choose. F/F and M/M pairs can alternate between lifts as they desire. Once a lift is complete and noted as a good rep, the athlete may continue adding weight and attempting lifts until time expires. Athletes actively in the lifting movement pattern as time expires are permitted to complete the lift. If an athlete breaks their complex at any time by dropping the bar, they will be required to restart the complex from the beginning. For instance, once an athlete completes the deadlifts, the bar cannot go back to the ground (except for the final clean) until the entire complex is complete. Any form of clean is permitted within the movement descriptions. Teammates may assist in loading weight. Collars must always be worn during lifts.
Standards
The Complex: The complex starts with the barbell on the ground. From here, the athlete will complete the first of four deadlifts without releasing hold of the barbell. The rep is credited when the athlete’s hips and knees reach full extension and the athlete’s head and shoulders are behind the bar. From the top position of the fourth deadlift, the athlete will begin the first of three hang cleans. The rep begins with the barbell in the athletes hands, anywhere in the hang position at or above the knees. The athlete will clean the bar in one motion from the hang to the front rack position using any clean style; power, squat, or split. Following the third hang clean, the barbell must be in contact with the shoulders to begin the first of two front squats. The rep begins with the barbell in the front rack position and lowers until the crease of the athlete’s hip is clearly below the top of the knees at the bottom. The rep is credited when the athlete’s hips and knees reach full extension while the bar is supported in the front-rack position. After the second front squat, the athlete will move the barbell to the ground in “tap and go” style. The athlete will tap and clean the bar in one motion to the front rack position using any clean style; power, squat, or split. The clean is complete when the athlete receives the bar in the front rack with the elbows clearly in front of the hands and achieves full extension of hips/knees.
Once the first deadlift is performed, the athlete cannot place the bar back on the ground to regrip. If the athlete misses a hang clean, front squat, they may re-attempt without starting the complex. However, if the athlete fails the clean or if the athlete loses contact with the barbell at any time, the athlete must reattempt the complex starting at the beginning.
Clean: The rep begins with the barbell on the ground. The athlete will clean the bar in one motion to the front rack position using any clean style; power, squat, or split. The clean is complete when the athlete receives the bar in the front rack with the elbows clearly in front of the hands and achieves full extension of hips/knees.
Deadlift: The rep begins with the barbell on the ground with the athlete standing at the barbell. Collars must be placed outside the plates. The athlete’s hands must be outside the knees. Sumo deadlifts are not allowed. The rep is credited when the athlete’s hips and knees reach full extension and the athlete’s head and shoulders are behind the bar. The barbell must touch the ground briefly after the athlete completes the deadlift. No bouncing is not permitted.
Front Squat: The rep begins with the barbell in the front rack position. The bar must remain in the front-rack position however, the hands do NOT need to remain on the bar. The crease of the athlete’s hip must be clearly below the top of the knees at the bottom. The rep is credited when the athlete’s hips and knees reach full extension while the bar is supported in the front-rack position.
Hang Clean: The rep begins with the barbell in the athletes hands, anywhere in the hang position at or above the knees. The athlete will clean the bar in one motion to the front rack position using any clean style; power, squat, or split. The rep is credited when the athlete’s hips and knees are fully extended, and the bar is resting on the shoulders with the elbows in front of the bar.
