Similar to Event 1 at this year’s Regionals, athletes will progress through 5 stations at increasing weights with decreasing reps. Athletes that do not complete all the reps at a given bar before the cutoff time will be given credit for the reps they completed at their last bar and then ranked based on the time at which they finished their last full segment.
