Notes
Prior to starting, athletes must set up the competition area as shown in the floor plan.
This event begins with the barbell in the rack. Teams will have 20 minutes from their declared start time to find a 4-rep-max front squat for each athlete. Within the 20-minute window, athletes may make as many or as few attempts as they like.
All athletes will use the same 45-lb. bar. Only one rack can be used. Teammates may load the bar for each other. Teammates may help each other re-rack the bar in the event of a failed lift.
Any increases in loading must be at least 1 lb.
Each athlete’s score will be the load (in lb.) of their heaviest successful set. The team’s score will be the sum of the athletes’ heaviest sets.
There will be no tiebreak for this event.
