WALL BALL
- The medicine ball must be taken from the bottom of a squat, hip crease below the knee, and thrown to hit the specified target.
- The centre of the ball must hit the target at or above the specified target height. If the ball hits lower or does not hit the wall, it is a no rep.

- Bar must start from the hang.
- Start from the ground, athlete must achieve a deadlift lockout (hips and knees fully extended, shoulders behind the bar)
- The bar cannot pass below the top of the knee for it to be classed as a hang clean.

Sorry I am a first timer to this comp but question for the Soldiers Division do we use the open weights in age category?
Hi Roselle
The categories are Open (beginner) and RX (higher intermediate to advanced)
You would follow what the weights were for your category. For an example you if you were OPEN 50-55 your weights would be the weight under OPEN 50-59 for this workout.
I hope this makes sense

What’s the difference in the RX & Open categories??
I’m now not sure which category I’m in
Hi Sarah
You can check out our standards here: https://www.mastershq.com.au/standards/
Open is more for beginners (it has single skips and ring rows), Rx is is more intermediate to advanced
I hope this helps

Looking at the two different categories, if you can do most but not all the Rx should you do Rx or Open?
Hi Wendy
My recommendation in this case would be to challenge yourself as this helps you improve and gives you a good reason to continue to work on your goals.
Open division would include single skips and ring rows so if these movements would be to basic for you, again, I suggest try out the RX category.
I hope this helps Wendy.

Hi, my weight for Part A is 20kg. Does an empty barbell need to return to the ground each rep or can it be taken from a hang position?
Hi Donna
The bar needs to come from below the knee.
I hope this helps!
