Judges

Reps will be recorded by video if an athlete has a query based on results. The scores will be added up from the 3 disciplines for a combined score. There will be a first, second and third place. ONLY FIRST AND SECOND QUALIFY FOR THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP. If first or second refuse space third place will get the place and so on; 


Weighted Pull Up +32KG

Athletes will start with a pronated grip, roughly shoulder width apart. Athletes must start with a locked out position and finish with their chin above the bar. As long as the chin is visibly above the bar the rep is good. Athletes will receive a tap from the judge to begin each rep. The judge must do this ASAP after lockout. Sets will be recorded for reevaluating. 

Causes for NO REP:

  • Any bend or swing in the legs

  • Chin does not go above the bar

  • Kipping of the body in any way

  • No Full lockout at the bottom
