Movement Standards

Down ups (hand release) - The athlete starts fully standing, then by jumping or walking the legs back lowers themselves until their chest and legs are touching the floor, they must then lift the hands off the floor before jumping or stepping back to their feet into a fully extended position so that from the side they are completely vertical.


Box jumps overs - Rx'd must jump and land on the box with 2 feet together but may step or jump down to the opposite side of the box to complete the rep. Scaled may step or jump the whole movement as long as both feet contact the top of the box as they pass from one side of the box to the other. Full extension is not necessary as the athlete passes over the box.

Shoulder to Overhead - The athlete must pick the bar up from the floor and start the shoulder to overhead movement with the bar in the front rack position, in contact with the chest or shoulder. From there the athlete may strict press, push press, push jerk or split jerk to get the bar overhead. The rep is only completed when the athlete is standing tall with knee, hip, shoulder and elbow fully extended with the bar above the middle of the foot.


Toes to bar - The movement starts with the athlete hanging from the pull up bar with elbows straight and heels behind the vertical plane of the bar. The feet must then be lifted and make contact with the bar simultaneously in between the hands.

Knee lifts - The movement starts with the athlete hanging from the pull up bar with elbows straight and heels behind the vertical plane of the bar. The knees must then be lifted so they are above the horizontal plane of the hip crease.


Kettlebell Swing - The kettlebell must be brought overhead with both hands in one fluid motion from a starting position between the legs. At the top position knees, hips, shoulder and elbows must be fully extended and when viewed from the side be in one vertical line, the kettlebell must also be fully inverted (the flat surface of the kettlebell must be parallel to the ceiling). At the bottom of the swing the kettlebell must pass between the legs with fully extended arms. Feet must be within shoulder width.


AbMat sit ups - The athlete starts on their back on the AbMat, both hands must touch the floor above the head and then sit up to a fully vertical position with the shoulder above the hip and touch the toes with both hands. Feet must be flat on the floor, soles of the feet together and knees dropped out to the side. 


Deadlift - The bar must pe picked up off the floor with a standard deadlift technique, arms outside the legs and the rep is completed when the knees and hips are fully extended and the shoulder is behind the bar.
