Test 2 Special Regulations

The available weights will be in kilograms.

The athlete can attempt the lift as many times as they want within the 4 minute window.

Athletes are responsible for changing their own weights.

They may increase or decrease weights at any time.

All lifts must be completed before the time cap. If you finish a lift beyond the time that will result in a “no lift.”

Athletes must stay within their lifting area. Touching the line on the edge of the lifting area or going outside the lifting area during a lift will result in a “No Lift” and end the attempt.

Athletes may use any style of clean and any style of shoulder to overhead that comes from the front rack position.

Putting on the bar on the back of the neck to attempt a shoulder to overhead from the back rack is not allowed.

Clips must be on the bar outside the outermost plates before any attempt can be made, and any unused plates must be removed from the lifting area.

If an athlete fails or misses the jerk but does not drop the bar, they may reattempt the jerk and be credited with a good lift if successful.

Athletes will receive a “no lift” if they drop the bar behind them, even if the lift was otherwise successfully completed.

If an athlete’s knee touches the ground that will result in a “no lift.”

The athlete’s score will be the weight of the heaviest lift successfully completed.
