Day One Movement Standards

Burpee Over the Erg – In the bottom position, the athlete’s chest and thighs must be simultaneously touching the ground. Each burpee must be performed next to a Concept 2 Erg. The athlete must jump over the erg from both feet – one-footed jumping or stepping over is not permitted. Both of the athlete’s feet must pass over the top of the erg – the athlete cannot swing the trailing leg around the end, and no portion of the athlete’s body may touch the erg. A repetition is complete every time the athlete lands on the opposite side of the erg from where the burpee was performed.

Rowing on Concept 2 – The Concept 2 ergometers will be set for meters. Athlete must stay seated until the monitor shows that the athlete has reached the prescribed number of meters.

Assault Bike – The Assault Bike will be set for miles. Athlete must stay seated until the
monitor shows that the athlete has reached the prescribed number of miles or reached
the prescribed time cap for the event.

Snatch – This movement begins with the barbell on the ground, and the athlete in a snatch set-up position. The barbell must be moved in one continuous motion from the floor to a fully extended overhead position – the barbell overhead directly aligned over the shoulders, hips and ankles. The barbell may not stop its upward descent to overhead at any point or touch the body higher than the sternum (i.e., touching the barbell to the shoulders or head and pressing will be deemed a no-rep).

Overhead Squats – The hip crease must be below the top of the knee at the bottom of the squat. A full squat snatch is permitted for the first rep. The barbell must come to full lockout overhead, with the athlete’s hips, knees and arms fully extended, and the bar directly over the middle of the body. A rack is not allowed.

Double-Unders – This is the standard double-under in which the rope passes under the feet twice for each jump. The rope can spin forward or backward for the rep to count.
