Quarterfinals Workouts

Notes

Prior to starting, athletes must set up the competition area as shown in the floor plan (see scorecard).

This event begins with the barbell in the rack. Athletes will have 20 minutes from their declared start time to find a 4-rep-max front squat. Within the 20-minute window, athletes may make as many or as few attempts as they’d like. 

Athletes must declare the load they are attempting before starting to lift. After finishing the final lift, remove and film all plates used on the bar to verify the loading. 

The athlete’s score will be the load (in lb.) of their heaviest successful set. There is no tiebreak for this event. 

Any increases in loading must be at least 1 lb.

Equipment

• Barbell 45/35 lb.
• Bumper plates*
• Collars

*The official weight must be recorded in pounds.

If converting kilograms to pounds, round up to the nearest pound. If lifting in pounds, only whole pound change plates may be used. Collars cannot be included in the weight.

Be sure the athlete has adequate space to safely complete the workout. Clear the area of all extra equipment, people, or other obstructions.

Any athlete who in any way alters the equipment or movements described in this document or shown in the workout standards video may be disqualified from the competition.
