(Max Reps) Snatches & Sandbag Bearhug hold

One partner locked into a bearhug hold while the other chases max snatches.

Setup
• Teams of 2 athletes (same or mixed gender, SAME Division).
• One athlete holds a sandbag in a bearhug position.
• The other athlete performs snatches with a barbell. 
• Once positions are chosen, no switching is allowed for the duration of the event.

Sandbag Bearhug Hold
• Sandbag must be held in front of the torso with both arms wrapped around.
• Bag must remain off the ground any contact with the ground (even resting) ends scoring.
• Athlete may adjust grip, and temporarily bend the knees to readjust but dropping or resting the bag on the legs terminates partner’s scoring.
• Athlete must hold bag in a UPRIGHT torso position. No bending back or excessive knee bend allowed. 

Snatch
• Any form of snatch is allowed. Snatch, power snatch, or muscle snatch. 
• Bar must start from the ground on each rep.
• Movement must be one continuous motion from ground to overhead.
• Arms must fully extend overhead, with control shown at the top.

Scoring 
• Only reps performed while the sandbag is held count.
• The total score is the number of valid snatches completed before the sandbag is dropped

Penalties 
• Any sandbag drop, or holding at the knees = immediate stop in scoring.
• Incomplete lockout over head = no rep.

(Max Reps) Synchronized Front Squats

Athletes must perform front squats in sync for reps to count. 

*Athletes are not allowed to rest at the top or bottom positions for long periods of time (waiting periods of 10 seconds or more between reps stops event)

Setup
• Each athlete has their own barbell, loaded to the designated competition weight.

STANDARDS

Starting Position
• Barbell begins in the front rack position (across shoulders, elbows forward).
• Both athletes must start standing tall with hips and knees fully extended.

Squat
• Athletes descend together until hip crease is clearly below the top of the knee or in line with the knee.
• Both athletes must reach depth at the same time (synchronization judged at bottom).
• Athletes must then stand back up together to full hip and knee extension.
• Synchronization is also required at the top—both athletes locked out simultaneously.

Scoring 
• Only reps where both athletes are synchronized at bottom and top positions will count.
• Reps are tallied until one or both athletes drops the bar.
• Score = total valid synchronized squats completed by the pair.

Penalties 
• Failure of one athlete to reach depth = no rep for the team.
• Standing up at different times (out of sync) = no rep.
• Dropping the bar ends event

(For time) Rower Cal

Rowing
• Machine must be set to calories before start.
• Athlete must remain fully seated on the rower while pulling—no standing rows.
• Calories must reach or exceed the target before time stops.

Switching
• Athletes may switch as often as they wish.
• Switches may occur only after the handle is placed back into the cradle.
• Time continues to run during all transitions.

Scoring
• Time is stopped the moment the monitor shows the required calorie target has been met.
• Score = fastest completion time.
• If time cap is reached before the target is met, score = calories completed at cap.

Penalties 
• Failure to place the handle in the cradle before switching = 5-second penalty added to final time.
• Athletes pulling while off the seat = no calories counted for that pull.
• False start (rowing before countdown) = restart or time penalty.
