SKI

Box Jump Overs
Athletes must face the box for each rep. Both feet must come in contact with the top of the box. Athletes are not required to open their hips on the top. The rep is counted when the athlete reaches the floor on the other side of the box. Stepping down is permitted in all divisions. Jumps are required in the ADV and Rx division; step ups are permitted in the scaled division. Lateral Jumps are not allowed. Clearing the box is not allowed. All men use a 24” box. All ladies use a 20” box.
Toes to Bar (Rx Divisions)
Each rep begins in a hanging position with the arms fully extended. In order for the rep to count, both feet must clearly make contact with the bar at the same time in between the hands. When stringing reps together, the feet must break the plane of the bar in between each rep.
Sit-Ups (Intermediate Division)
Each rep begins with the athlete’s upper back in contact with the floor and hands in contact with the floor above the head. The rep is counted when both the athlete’s shoulder passes in front of the hip crease and touches the floor in front of their feet.
HSwalk (ADV Division)
Each 25ft section will be broken in 5ft increments. The athlete’s feet and hands (including fingertips) must clearly be behind the line when kicking up. Both hands must clearly be OVER each designated 5ft line before coming down in order for it to count.
Bike
The screen must read the designated calories before the athlete exits the bike.
Flex
Clean Ladder
There will be 8 bars in each ladder. Any athlete that clears the ladder will have one final barbell where they will choose their own weight for one final lift. The bonus barbell will be loaded 10lbs heavier than the final barbell. Any weight chosen above the pre-loaded weight, in at least 5lb increments, will need to be adjusted during the 30s rest period before the athletes final 30s working period.
Each athlete will have a judge who meets them before entering the ladder and sticks with them throughout the ladder.
Each athlete will have 30s to complete the lift at their designated barbell. Athletes with successful lifts will then have a 5s transition period where they move to a 30s rest station before another 5s transition and then to the next barbell in the ladder. Once the bar leaves the ground it is considered an attempt and no more than 2 attempts are allowed during the 30s window.
The movement across the floor will look like a zig-zag pattern moving from barbell to rest station to barbell. Once an athlete is unsuccessful with a lift or they finish the last barbell, they will exit the ladder with their judge and sign their scoresheet. The judge will then get back in line and greet their next athlete.
There could be up to 17 judges on very rare occasions on the floor at once if there are multiple people attempting the heavy bars.
