Test 1 Flow, Movement Standards, and Special Regulations

On the start signal athletes will have three minutes to complete as much work as possible. They will first mount the treadmill and run the designated distance for their gender. Upon the completion of their run, athletes will proceed to the Ski Erg and complete the designated number of calories. Athletes will then pick up their jump rope and perform as many double unders as possible in the remaining time. At the 3 minute mark, athletes will stop where they are and have a one minute rest period during which time they will reset themselves back at the start line to begin the cycle again. At the expiration of the one minute rest period, athletes will start a new 3 minute amrap, proceeding in the same format as the first amrap. Athletes will continue this cycle for 5 rounds of a 3 min amrap. The athletes’ score will be the total number of double unders completed across all 5 amraps.

Test 1 Movement Standards

For complete movement standards please see the entries titled “Running,” “Ski Erg,” and “Jump Rope – Double Under”  in the International Functional Fitness Federation’s Movement Standards Document located at https://functionalfitness.sport/sport/2019-movement-standards/ which requires the athlete to run and ski, the specified distance without assistance of others or other equipment and without interfering with others.

For Double Unders, the rope must pass under the athletes’ feet twice for every one jump.

Test 1 Special Regulations

• Athletes may not touch the hand rails of the Self-Motorized Treadmill except when mounting and starting the treadmill or to gain balance if falling. If athletes attempt to continually grab the hand rails, they will be warned by their Technical Official and then assessed a 50 Double Under penalty for every subsequent offense.
• Athletes may not leave the piece of equipment until the requisite meter/calorie count has been reached. This means you must stay on the treadmill, and remain standing on the skierg platform, until the work has been completed.
• The rope must spin forward on double unders.
• Jump Ropes will be provided for this test.

On the start signal, the athlete will approach the first barbell and lift it to perform 5 overhead squats. After the 5th rep, the athlete will drop the bar in front of them, step over the bar to the next barbell and lift that bar to complete 4 overhead squats. The athlete will repeat this pattern one more time, moving on to the next bar for 3 overhead squats before dropping the final bar in front of them and traveling over it to run across the finish line and stop the time. The top ten times from the first round of this ladder will move on to round 2, which will flow in the same pattern but with heavier weights and a decreased rep scheme. The top five times from round 2 will move on to round 3, which will flow in the same pattern but again with heavier weights and a decreased rep scheme.

Test 2 Movement Standards

For complete movement standards please see “Overhead Squat” in the International Functional Fitness Federation’s Movement Standards Document located at: https://functionalfitness.sport/sport/2019-movement-standards/. For convenience the following abbreviated standards are outlined below:

Test 2 Special Regulations

• The athlete may get the bar to the overhead position in any manner of their choosing. For clarity, this means they may clean and jerk the barbell from either in front or behind the neck to the overhead position or snatch the barbell to the overhead position.
• If you get a “no rep” for depth or failing to extend all the way at the top of the repetition in the middle of your set you may continue to perform Overhead Squats until you successfully complete the required number of repetitions.
• A squat snatch can count as the first rep of the Overhead Squat as long as the depth and other requirements for the overhead squat are met.
• The athlete may snatch balance the first repetition of the overhead squat.
• The bar must be dropped in front of the athlete to count. If the athlete drops the bar behind them the repetition will not count.

Test 4 Flow

On the start signal the athlete will pick up their kettlebell, put it overhead with their left arm and perform a Kettlebell Get-Up with their left arm. When they return to standing, they will change hands and perform a Kettlebell Get-Up with the right arm. They will then proceed to the rig for 2 repetitions of the 4 move complex of 1 Pull-over, 1 Toes to Bar, 1 Chest to Bar, 1 Bar Muscle Up. These 4 movements must be performed without getting off the bar in order for the repetition to count. The athlete may dismount the bar after the Bar Muscle up before beginning the second repetition of the complex if they so choose. After completing 2 repetitions of the complex, the athlete will proceed to their lane for the handstand walk. With an object held between his or her feet, the athlete will start their handstand walk with their hands behind the start line. When the athlete passes the center line of the walk with both hands, without coming down from the handstand, the athlete will perform a full or 360 degree pirouette with the axis of the body rotating to the left (counter clockwise) and continue walking in the same direction they started until they cross the finish line with both hands. The athlete will then turn around and repeat the walk, pirouette this time with the body rotating to the right (clockwise), and then walk, back toward the direction they just came from. After the completion of this second handstand walk, the athlete will return to their kettlebell for 2 more rounds of this test, which will flow in the same way as the first round. However, the number of repetitions and distance for the handstand walk will increase each round.

Test 4 Movement Standards

For complete movement standards please see the entries for “Kettlebell Get-Up,” “Pull-over,” “Toes to Bar,” “Chest to Bar,” “Bar Muscle-up,” “Handstand Walk,”and “Handstand Pirouette” in the International Functional Fitness Federation’s Movement Standards Document located at: https://functionalfitness.sport/sport/2019-movement-standards/. For convenience the following abbreviated standards are outlined below:

For the Kettlebell Get-Up, the athlete will start standing with the Kettlebell locked out overhead and supported by one arm. They will then descend to the ground, keeping the kettlebell supported overhead by one arm the entire time. At the bottom of the repetition both of the athletes’ shoulder blades will touch the ground with the kettlebell locked out overhead and the legs extended. The athlete will keep the kettlebell locked out overhead as they return to a standing position to finish in control with the kettlebell locked out overhead.

For the Pull-over, the athlete will then perform a pull up motion to clear their chin above the horizontal plane of the pull up bar. The athlete must then elevate his or her bodyweight until reaching a position of support with shoulders above the bar, arms fully extended and vertical; however, to achieve the top of the repetition, the athlete must pull over the bar by leading with the feet until they clear the bar coming from the opposite side as the athlete’s chin, completing a 360-degree rotation of the body.

Standards that must be met:

1. Full extension of the arms at the bottom of each repetition;
2. Chin breaks the horizontal plane of the pullup bar at some point before the feet break the vertical plane above the pull up bar
3. Full extension of the arms at the top of each repetition with a pause in support on the bar;
4. The entire body passes over top of the bar during the movement with feet leading.

For the Toes to bar,

• There must be full extension of the hips at the bottom of the repetition (heels break the vertical plane of the bar);
• Feet touch the bar simultaneously within the width of the hands at the top of each repetition

For the Chest to bar and Bar Muscle-up, the athletes must start in a vertical hang on the bar. In the Chest to Bar Pull-up the chest must make contact with the bar at the top of the repetition. For the Bar Muscle-up the athlete must finish in a locked out front support on top of the pull-up bar with arms fully extended.

For the Handstand Walk, athletes’ hands must start behind the line and both hands must cross the finishing line and make contact with the ground beyond for the walk distance to be considered complete.

For the Handstand Pirouette, the athlete must rotate the required number of degrees while remaining balanced on their hands.

Test 4 Special Regulations

• Athletes may use their other arm to assist themselves in getting the Kettlebell overhead for beginning of the Kettlebell Get-up or returning the kettlebell to the ground after a completed repetition. However, once the repetition is started and while it is in progress, the athlete may not use the other hand or any other body part or object other than the supporting arm to stabilize the kettlebell.
• Athletes must bring the kettlebell below the hips to switch hands on the Kettlebell Get-ups.
• For the bar complex, athletes must complete all 4 movements without getting off the bar for the repetition to count.
• Athletes may dismount the bar after the Bar Muscle-up and before beginning the next repetition of the complex if desired, but they do not have to.
• If an athlete gets a no rep on part of the bar complex they may repeat that movement and continue on with the complex without starting the entire complex over as long as they do not dismount the bar.
• The object being held in the feet for the handstand walk will be similar to a “Yoga Block”
• The hands must be completely behind the line (not touching it all) at the start of all handstand walks and completely beyond the line (not touching it at all) at the finish of all handstand walks.
• The athlete cannot begin their pirouette until both hands have crossed the center line in their lane. Once both hands have crossed over the line the athlete may begin their pirouette.
• Once athletes cross the center line in their lane they are to begin their pirouette. Athletes may not cross the center line and continue walking straight to the finish line and complete their pirouette at the end of the lane near the finish line. An athlete who is deemed to be purposefully attempting to make forward progress past the center line before initiating their pirouette will receive a no rep and will be required to start that handstand walk over.
• The athlete must stay within their designated lane during the pirouette.
• The athlete does not need to pause after their pirouette. They may continue their handstand walk without pause.
• Each handstand walk to pirouette to handstand walk segment must be done unbroken with the object remaining in the feet the entire time.
• The direction listed on the pirouette refers to the direction of rotation of the body and NOT the direction of any lateral movement that occurs during the pirouette. For example, a left turning pirouette could travel to the right of where the athlete initially kicked up as long the body is rotating to the left (counterclockwise).
