Semifinals Workouts

Notes

Prior to starting the workout, set up the floor plan as shown. Always return behind the line furthest from the barbell during the rest periods.

Begin this workout standing on the far side of the line furthest from the barbell. After the call of "3, 2, 1... go," move to the barbell and complete 10 snatches. After the 10th snatch, a mandatory 1-minute rest period begins. The workout time does not stop during the rest period. During the rest period, you may have assistance loading the barbell with the next weight, OR you may use a prestaged barbell set to the appropriate weight.

You must remain behind the start line until the rest period is over. Then, you will move to the barbell and complete 10 snatches at the second weight. You will repeat this sequence for the third weight as well. After the third rest period, you will perform as many reps as possible with the final weight in the time remaining. Time stops at 10 minutes.

Your score will be the total number of repetitions completed within the 10-minute window. 

After the workout is complete, walk to the camera and state the password BEFORE turning off or moving the camera.

Tiebreak

Record the time after each successfully completed set of snatches. In the event of a tie on total repetitions, the athlete who finished the 10 snatches at the previous weight faster will be ranked higher.
