Notes
Prior to starting the workout, set up the floor plan as shown. The camera must be placed by the rower, and the monitor must be clearly visible. If the monitor is not visible, your submission may be invalidated. The bench press setup must also be clearly visible in the background. Take a short video to test and review your setup BEFORE you start the workout so you can verify the monitor is clearly visible.
Begin the workout seated on the rower with your hands off the paddle. After the call of “3, 2, 1 … go,” begin rowing. Once the rower reads at least 500 m, move to the bench press and complete 30 reps. Then, row 1,000 m before returning to the bench for 20 reps. Finally, complete a 2,000-m row and 10 bench presses. Time stops when you reach lockout on the final bench press.
Your score will be the total time taken to complete the workout. In the event of a time cap, your score will be the total number of repetitions completed at the 30-minute mark. There is no tiebreak for this workout.
Note: If you reach the time cap on the rower, each 100 m will count as 1 repetition.
After the workout is complete, walk to the camera and state the password BEFORE turning off or moving the camera.

1 of 5Use a Concept2 rower. The monitor must be clearly visible in your video. The monitor on the rower must be set to zero at the beginning of each row. You may receive assistance resetting the rower between rounds. Start seated on the rower with your hands off the paddle until after the call of “3, 2, 1 … go.” You must stay seated on the rower with your hands on the paddle until the monitor reads the designated distance during each round.
2 of 5You may use any available flat bench. You may place bumper plates under your feet. You may NOT floor press or use a bench with any incline or decline. Athletic tape on the bar must be used to establish a 40-in (102-cm) width. No part of your hands may be wider than 40 in (102 cm). If any part of your hands makes contact with the tape at any point, the attempt will not count. You must use a standard, pronated grip. Your thumb must be wrapped around the bar. Collars MUST be placed outside the plates during all attempts.
3 of 5Each rep starts with full extension of the arms. Before lowering, you must pause with your arms clearly extended and the bar over your torso. A spotter may NOT be used to assist with a lift out of the rack. Both feet must remain on the floor (or bumper plates) throughout the entire movement. Your shoulders and buttocks must remain in contact with the bench throughout the movement. During the lift, if your feet come off the floor (or bumper plates) at any point, or your shoulders and/or buttocks come off the bench, the rep will not count.
4 of 5The bar must make contact with any part of the torso at the bottom. You may NOT pause or rest with the bar on your torso.
5 of 5The rep counts when your arms return to full extension with the bar over your torso. You must pause briefly with the bar at full extension before reracking the bar. If a spotter touches you or the bar at any point, it is an immediate no rep and the bar must be returned to the rack.
