Movement Standards:

Burpee Box Jump Overs
The Burpee Box Jump Over starts with the athlete perpendicular to the box while touching their chest and thighs on the ground, and finishes with the athlete jumping (or stepping for 65+) over the box. In the bottom position, the centre of the athlete’s chest must be touching the line, and the feet and hands must be straddling the line. Setting the box at an angle is not allowed. A two-foot takeoff is required (except 65+), and only the athlete’s feet may touch the box. After landing on the box, the athlete may jump or step off to the other side. If the athlete lands on the box, both feet must touch the top of the box before stepping or jumping off. Alternatively, the athlete may jump completely over the box. If jumping over the box, the feet must pass over the box, not around it, and the athlete must use a two-foot landing. There is no requirement to stand tall while on top of the box. Each rep is completed when both feet are on the ground on the opposite side of the box. From there, the athlete may begin their next rep.

Chest to Bar Pull-ups
Athletes must start each rep with their arms fully extended and feet off the ground. Any style of Pull-up or grip is allowed. The rep is counted when the athlete’s chest clearly contacts the bar at or below the collarbone.

Pull-ups
Athletes must start each rep with their arms fully extended and feet off the ground. Any style of pull-up or grip is allowed. The rep is completed when the athlete’s chin breaks the horizontal plane of the bar.

Ring Rows
The rings must be set with bottom of ring in line with belly button. The athlete’s hips, knees, and ankles must remain in a line – no bend and no kip. The feet must be positioned with heels only on a line under the vertical plan of the rings. The arms must be fully extended to begin each rep and the rings must make contact with the chest to complete the rep.
