Open Workouts

NOTES

After the call of “3, 2, 1 … go,” the athlete may perform 30 box jumps followed by 15 clean and jerks, then 30 box jumps followed by 15 clean and jerks at a heavier weight, then 30 box jumps followed by 10 clean and jerks, increasing the weight again. Next, the athlete performs 30 single-leg squats followed by 10 clean and jerks, then 30 single-leg squats followed by 5 clean and jerks, and finally, 30 single-leg squats followed by 5 clean and jerks. Again, the weight of the clean and jerk increases each round. 

Athletes may set up multiple barbells. If one barbell is used, the athlete may receive assistance changing the load on the bar. Receiving any assistance other than adjusting loading is not permitted unless safety is an immediate concern.

TIEBREAK   

If the athlete completes the entire workout prior to the 20-minute time cap, their score will be their total time, and there will be no tiebreaker. 

If the athlete is not able to complete the entire workout in the allotted time, a tiebreaker will be factored into their score. During the workout, be sure to note the athlete’s time at the end of each set of box jumps and single-leg squats. When the athlete submits their score, there will be a space for their final rep count and an additional field for them to enter the elapsed time at which they completed their final rep of box jumps or single-leg squats. In the case where two athletes have the same score (total number of reps), the athlete with the lower tiebreak time will be ranked higher. Do NOT use a countdown timer.

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.

VIDEO SUBMISSION STANDARDS   

• Film the plates and barbell so the loads can be seen clearly, and show the height of the box with a tape measure. 
• Scaled divisions also need to film the medicine ball. 
• Videos must be uncut and unedited to accurately display the performance.
• Your judge and a clock or timer must be visible throughout the workout.  
• Shoot the video so all exercises can be seen clearly meeting the movement standards. 
• Videos shot with a fisheye lens or similar lens may be rejected.
