Additional Information

This event is for as many reps as possible in 9 minutes.

This event begins with the athlete standing tall at their barbell. At the call of 3,2,1 GO athletes will pick up their barbell to begin 3 hang power snatches.

At the completion of the hang power snatches, athletes will perform 3 overhead squats.

Athletes may begin their first overhead squat, immediately following the last repetition of their hang power snatch.

At the completion of the overhead squats, athletes will perform 30 double unders.

At the completion of the double unders, athletes will begin round 2, performing 6 hang power snatches, 6 overhead squats and 30 double unders.

Round 3 will consist of 9 hang power snatches, 9 overhead squats and 30 double unders.

Athletes will continue in this fashion, adding 3 reps to both barbell movements, for 9 minutes.

At the completion of 9 minutes, the workout will end and the total number reps completed over 9 minutes will be the athletes score.

Hang Power Snatch
Each repetition must start from the hang. Any repetition taken from the floor, must achieve a deadlift lockout (hips and knees fully extended, arms straight, shoulders behind the bar/Dumbbell) before re-dipping to initiate the hang snatch. The barbell/Dumbbell must remain above the knee and below the hip with arms straight at the initiation of each rep. The rep is counted with the bar coming to full lockout overhead with the hips, knees and arms fully extended, and the bar/Dumbbell directly over the middle of the body. Power snatching the barbell/Dumbbell from the ground in one continuous motion is not permitted.

Hang Power Clean
Each repetition must start from the hang. Any repetition taken from the floor, must achieve a deadlift lockout (hips and knees fully extended, arms straight, shoulders behind the bar) before re-dipping to initiate the hang Clean. The barbell must remain above the knee and below the hip with arms straight at the initiation of each rep. The rep is counted with the bar coming to front rack position with the hips, knees and elbows in front of the bar, and the bar directly over the shoulders of the body. Power cleaning the barbell from the ground in one continuous motion is not permitted.

Overhead Squats
Each rep begins with the athlete standing tall with the barbell/Dumbbell overhead in a fully locked out position. At the bottom, the hip crease must clearly pass below the top of the knee. The rep is counted when the barbell returns to a fully locked out position overhead with the hips, knees and arms fully extended, and the bar directly over the middle of the body. Athletes may get the barbell overhead any way they choose. A full squat snatch is permitted, but not required, to start the movement if standard depth is achieved. Dropping the bar behind will be a no rep.

Front Squats (Box)
Each rep begins with the athlete standing tall with the barbell front rack position in a barbell on or above shoulders position. At the bottom, the hip crease must clearly pass below the top of the knee. The rep is counted when the athlete returns to a fully locked out position with the hips, knees fully extended, and the bar is in the front rack of the body. Athletes may get the barbell shoulders any way they choose. A full squat clean is permitted, but not required, to start the movement if standard depth is achieved. Dropping the bar in front will be a no rep.

(Box Squat) Athletes that are allowed to use a box to Front squat will achieve Parallel Squats, meaning when resting or touching the box, the athlete’s hips and knees must be parallel and no less.

Double Unders
This is the standard double-under in which the rope passes under the feet twice for each jump. The rope must spin forward for the rep to count. Only successful jumps are counted, not just attempts.

Single Unders
This is the standard Single-under in which the rope passes under the feet once for each jump. The rope must spin forward for the rep to count. Only successful jumps are counted, not just attempts.
