Weight Belts, wrist wraps and Knee Sleeves are approved during the Challenge. No other equipment are allowed (Body-Suits, Wraps, Elbow Sleeves, Chalk, etc.)
Sequence of Events: Squat, Bench and Deadlift. Each contestant will have 3 record attempts to record their highest weight. Once you start with a weight, you cannot go down in weight. It is suggested to attempt a weight you are comfortable with prior to adding more weight. Between each event the contestant will have up to 10 minutes of a break before moving to the next event. Between attempts the contestant will have 2 minutes of rest. There will be two squat racks available to warm-up on all three lifts prior and during events.
Commands:
Squat- Contestant will un-rack weight (with spotter), judge will give command “SQUAT”. Once the contestant has reached the parallel position (Hip crease parallel with knees) the judge will give the command “RACK”. This completes the record attempt.
Bench- Contestant will un-rack weight (with spotter) and will lower weight to chest at own pace. Once weight is on the contestants chest, the judge will give the command “Press”. Contestant will then press the weight with arms fully extended and will rack when judge gives the command “RACK”. The head nor buttocks must not leave the bench or the repetition will not count.
Deadlift- Contestant will assume the deadlifting position and will record their attempt. Once contestant has lifted the weight and is in the fully extended position the judge will give the command “DOWN”. The contestant will control the weight to the ground (NOT DROP) and that will count as a record attempt.
