QUICK START
- Start standing tall behind the dumbbells or below the pull-up bar.
- At “go,” pick up the dumbbells OR jump to the pull-up bar and begin accumulating reps.
- You can complete the movements in any order, using any rep scheme, alternating between the movements as needed.
- Your score is the total time taken to complete the workout.
- Time stops at the lockout of the final rep when you have completed 80 dumbbell hang squat cleans and 40 bar muscle-ups.
NOTES
- There is no minimum or maximum number or reps that must be completed before alternating movements.
- Gymnastics grips cannot be used during the dumbbell hang squat cleans.
- For safety, the dumbbells MUST remain at least 5 feet from the pull-up bar.

TIEBREAK

- Example 1: 50 dumbbell hang squat cleans + 10 bar muscle-ups = 60 reps, note tiebreak time.

- Example 3: 60 dumbbell hang squat cleans = 60 reps, note tiebreak time.

1 of 11Dumbbell Hang Squat Clean: Each rep starts with the dumbbells below the hips and the arms extended. A clean from the ground is allowed, but not required, to start a set.
2 of 11The dumbbells must be brought to the rack position and the athlete must squat below parallel (the crease of the hips descends below the knees). The athlete may choose to complete a hang power clean then a front squat to meet the requirements of the movement.
3 of 11The rep is credited when: The dumbbells are at the shoulders. The elbows are in front of the hands. The hips and knees reach full extension. The feet are in line.
4 of 11Common no-reps for the dumbbell hang squat clean include but not limited to: Squatting at or above parallel.
5 of 11Not standing to full extension of the knees and hips and/or lowering the dumbbells before full extension of the knees and/or hips. Dumbbells closer than 5 feet to the pull-up bar.
6 of 11Bar Muscle-Up: Start each rep with arms fully extended and feet off the ground. Pass through some portion of a dip before locking out over the bar. The rep is credited when: Arms are fully extended in the support position. Shoulders are directly over, or slightly in front of, the bar when viewed from the side.
7 of 11Common no-reps for the bar muscle-up include but are not limited to: Starting a rep without full extension of the arms.
8 of 11Any portion of the foot rising above the pull-up bar during the kip.
