Thrusters(95/65)
Burpees

 

 

Scaled Option:

Thrusters – 65/45

 

 

NOTES:

This workout begins with the barbell on the floor and the athlete standing tall. At the call of “3, 2, 1 … go,” the athlete will perform 21 thrusters, then 21 burpees, jumping over the barbell for each rep of the burpees. They will then perform 18 of each, then 15 of each, etc., until the last round of 3 of each. Every second counts in this workout. Your score will be the time it takes to complete all 168 repetitions. There is no time cap for this workout. This workout ends when the feet land on the other side of the bar on the final rep. Time will be recorded in full seconds. Do not round up. If you finish in 7:49.8, your score is 7:49.

 

Movement Standards

Thruster:

This is a standard barbell thruster in which the barbell moves from the bottom of a front squat to full lockout overhead. The bar starts on the ground. No racks allowed. The hip crease must clearly pass below the top of the knees in the bottom position. A full squat clean into the thruster is allowed if the bar is on the ground. Using a ball, box or other object to check for proper depth is not allowed.  The barbell must come to a full lockout overhead with the hips, knees and arms fully extended, and the bar directly over the body.

 

Burpee:

Each burpee must be performed perpendicular to and facing the barbell. The athlete’s head cannot be over the barbell. The chest and thighs touch the ground at the bottom.  The athlete must jump over the barbell from both feet and land on both feet. One-footed jumping or stepping over is not permitted. If standard-sized bumper plates are not used on the thruster barbell, or your division allows for an empty barbell, a separate barbell loaded with standard bumper plates must be set up for the athlete to jump over during the burpees. Scaled Masters will be permitted to jump over an empty barbell on the burpees.  The next rep will begin on the opposite side facing the barbell.

TIEBREAK
The scoring for this workout includes a tiebreak. At the end of the row,
time should be marked. When you submit your final result, your score
will be the number of reps completed. There will be another field in
which you will enter the elapsed time at which you completed the
55-calorie row. 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.

 

 

 

Movement Standards:

Deadlift

This is a traditional deadlift with the hands outside the knees. Sumo deadlifts are not allowed.  Starting at the floor, the barbell is lifted until hips and knees reach full extension with the shoulders behind the bar. The arms must be straight throughout. No
bouncing.

 

Wall Balls

In the wall-ball shot, the medicine ball must be taken from the bottom of a squat, hip crease below the knee, and thrown to hit
the specified target.  The center of the ball must hit the target at or above the specified target height. If the ball hits low or does not hit the wall, it is a “no rep.” If the ball drops from the top, it cannot be caught off the bounce to begin the next rep. The ball must settle on the ground before being picked up for the next rep.

 

Row

The monitor must be set to zero at the beginning of each row. The athlete or the judge may reset the monitor. The athlete must stay seated on the rower until the monitor reads 55 calories.

 

Handstand Push Up

Prior to starting you will need to establish the foot line for your handstand push-up. Stand facing the wall on the same surface
your hands will be on, with your feet at hip width and your toes touching the wall. While standing tall, reach your hands over your head with your elbows straight, shoulders extended and your thumbs touching.  From here, mark the height of your wrists, then measure down 3 inches and create a line on the wall. Mark your line with a permanent marker, chalk or tape. Judges may restore the line between rounds as needed.  Each handstand push-up begins and ends with the heels in contact with the wall and above the pre-marked line. The athlete may place their hands however they choose, as long as their heels are above the line.  At the bottom, the athlete’s head makes contact with the ground. If the head and hands are on different surfaces, the surfaces must be level. For example, if the hands are on plates and there is a pad under the head, the top of the pad must be level with the top of the plates. The feet do not need to remain in contact with the wall for the entire movement, but must touch above the line at the beginning and end of each rep. Kipping is allowed.

 

 

Hand Release Push Up (Scaled Only)

A straight body position must be maintained throughout the movement. No snaking, sagging or pushing up from the knees is allowed. The elbows must be locked out at the top with the feet no wider than shoulder width.  At the bottom, the chest (nipple line or above) must touch the floor and the hands must be lifted.
