2025 MOVEMENT STANDARDS

ATHX PRO category only.

No Grippers of any sort allowed. Only chalk.

Overhand grip only.

The athlete must begin each rep with arms fully extended in a dead hang position with feet off the ground / rig.

A rep is credited when the chin breaks the horizontal plane of the bar.

The athlete must return to the fully extended dead hang position before attempting the subsequent reps.

No kipping or use of legs/hips to drive upwards and achieve chin above the bar allowed.

As long as the athlete remains hanging from the bar, unbroken consecutive successful attempts are not required to score 3 rep max. However, if at any point the athlete lets go from the bar or the athlete’s feet touch the ground, the athlete has to begin from 0 again.

All 3 reps must be completed before the time expires for that score to be counted.

The barbell must begin in the rack, walked out and be taken from the back rack position.

The athlete must begin each rep with full extension of the hips and knees and standing tall.

The athlete must descend and lower the body until the hip crease is below the top of the knee. A rep is then only credited once after this, the athlete stands upright to full extension of the hips and knees.

On the 5th rep the athlete must be fully extended at the top and be given the rep verbally before walking the barbell back into the rack. If the athlete walks before fully extended, the rep will not be achieved. If the athlete then racks the barbell, the athlete will have to begin again from 0 to score that weight.

As long as the barbell remains in the back rack position, unbroken consecutive successful attempts are not required to score 5 rep max. However, if at any point the athlete re racks the barbell or dumps the barbell, the score is void and the athlete has to begin again.

All 5 reps must be completed before the time expires for that score to be counted.

The barbell must begin in the rack, walked out and be taken from the front rack position.

The athlete must begin each rep from the front rack position with full extension of the hips and knees and standing tall.

A rep is credited once the barbell is pressed overhead with the athlete’s arm, hips and knees extended and the bar must be over the centre of the athlete’s body when viewed from profile.

The barbell must return to the front rack position at a dead stop, stood upright before proceeding with the next rep. No bouncing or touch and go allowed, this will cause a failure of the rep.

The athlete’s legs must remain fully extended at all times, with the athlete’s knees and hips fully locked out. Any use of the legs, bending of hips or knees, or any dipping movements will cause a failure of the rep.

As long as the barbell remains in the front rack position, unbroken consecutive successful attempts are not required to score 10 rep max. However, if at any point the athlete re racks the barbell or dumps the barbell, the score is void and the athlete has to begin again.

All 10 reps must be completed before the time expires for that score to be counted.
