Notes
Prior to starting, athletes must set up the floor plan as shown.
This workout begins with the athlete standing next to the rack. After the call of “3, 2, 1… go,” the athlete may begin their first back squat attempt. The athlete may perform a maximum of 3 attempts for each movement. There is no requirement to perform all 3 attempts at each lift.
Once the first back squat weight has been declared and attempted, the lifts MUST be completed in order (back squat, press, deadlift). If the athlete decides to advance to the next movement after one or two attempts, they may not return to reattempt a previous movement later. Once an athlete completes a shoulder press repetition (including any warm-up sets), they may not make another attempt at the back squat. Once an athlete has completed a deadlift repetition (including any warm-up sets), they may not make another attempt at the shoulder press.
All attempts must be completed BEFORE the 30-minute time cap. Any attempt where the athlete is still in motion after the 30-minute time cap will not count.
Athletes may use only a single barbell and a single rack. Athletes may receive assistance loading their barbell.
The athlete’s score will be the sum of the best successfully completed back squat, press, and deadlift weights in pounds. Carefully review the equipment section for specific instructions regarding score calculation. All athletes MUST follow these instructions.
There is no tiebreak for this workout.
Note: Occupational Games athletes will complete the same workout as the 16-17/35-54 divisions.
Equipment
-
Barbell (35/45 lb or 15/20 kg)

Note: For this workout a 15-kg bar MUST be totaled as 33 lb. A 20-kg bar MUST be totaled as 44 lb.
-
-
Squat rack

Collars
*The official weight must be recorded in pounds. If converting kilograms to pounds, round to the nearest pound:
200.1-200.4 lb = 200 lb
200.5-200.9 lb = 201 lb
Example:
-
Bar = 20 kg
-
44 lb

-
Plates = 45 lb x 2
Total = 134 lb (44+45+45)
Any weight increases using change plates must result in a whole number (no decimal points). Collars cannot be included in the total weight.
For each workout, be sure the athlete has adequate space to safely complete all the movements. 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.
