STRENGTH SPECIAL REGULATIONS
Athletes may make as many attempts as they would like in each 30 second lifting window.
- The complex must be successfully completed “unbroken.” Unbroken in this context means that once the athlete picks up the bar for the clean they must complete all 3 movements before dropping the bar again.
- If the athlete fails the shoulder to overhead but is able to successfully return the barbell to the front rack position without it touching the ground or falling below the shoulder, the athlete may re-attempt the shoulder to overhead and if made the complex will count.
- The athlete may not put the bar in the back rack to rest at anytime and may not perform the shoulder to overhead from the back rack.
- Any style of clean and any style of shoulder to overhead may be used as long as the correct starting and finishing positions are displayed.
- If an athlete chooses to squat clean the barbell that will NOT count as the front squat in the complex. The athlete must perform an additional front squat for the repetition to count as the front squat in this complex.
- An athlete may perform the front squat and shoulder to overhead as a thruster or “thruster jerk” as long as the correct squat depth and overhead lockout position is achieved during the repetition.
- The feet may be wider than the shoulders in the finishing position of the shoulder to overhead (i.e. the language in the positional definition of “standing tall” requiring heels inside the shoulders will not be enforced)
