In honor of the Games of the 31st Olympiad, Saturday’s WOD will be a friendly in-house Olympic lifting competition.
There will only be one class: it will start at 10am (after Boot Camp) and go until we are finished.  Please do not show up at 11.  We will warm up and start the competition at 10:30.
Here’s how it will work:

  • Athletes will be categorized by weight class.  Men and women each have three weight classes:
    • Men: 150lbs and under; 151-199; 200+
    • Women: 125 and under; 126-149; 150+
  • There will be six barbells on the floor, one for each of the six weight classes.
  • Each athlete gets attempts at three different weights of Snatch and Clean & Jerk.
  • Each athlete gets two attempts at each weight, within a 2-minute time period.
  • Weight can never be removed from the bar, only added.  Weight will be added in predetermined increments.
  • All athletes will complete all snatches.  Then we will reset and all athletes will complete all Clean & Jerks.
  • Judges will award yay or nay on the lifts.  Lifts must show complete control overhead.  Power versions of lifts are permitted.
  • Athletes highest completed Snatch and highest completed C&J are added together for their score. In the event of a tie, the winner will be he or she with the lower body weight.
  • We will award gold, silver and bronze medals.

Again, this is a friendly competition.  Come compete for the fun of it and to cheer on your friends.
