For division 2 females, the last segment of the workout, do we have to scale the pullups? If we can do them...will we be allowed to do them instead of ring rows?
So it's 5 minutes to establish a 3 rep max on the cleans, or is it 3 minutes?. Does it matter how many attempts you make, like can the first couple be at a warmup weight without it affecting your score?
And then the pullup/squat/prowler is a 5 minute amrap scored as max rounds completed?
And does scored individually mean there are actually 5 workouts where each athlete is scored and ranked?
The purpose of an amrap last round is for people to be continually moving and racing the clock. Performing single pull-ups for sets of 8 would take too long and be boring for both the competitor and those watching. All those competing will have enough trouble with the prowler let alone worrying about the pull-ups.
Note if your in division three and you can do sets of 8 pull-ups unbroken for five minutes then you should probably be in div 2.

ReplyDeleteFor div 2 females, for the cleans, do they have to be power? Or can we squat if needed?

ReplyDeleteHelen - you will have to scale the pull-ups to the ring rows.
ReplyDeleteKin fly - The cleans do not have to be power cleans you can squat them if you want - you will just haev to fully extend the hips at the top of course.
NOTE - For division 1 athletes - you can power clean and then front squat the weight as well. It does not haev to be a full squat clean.
Corey - The second section is five minutes in total just as all the sections are.
Yes the pull-up/squat and prowler portion is for total reps and rounds.
Section #2 of the gauntlet - refer to main page as i posted a comment there with changes to this section
In the last portion of workout 3 I think div 3 males should have to do chin to bar pull-ups. People can do them one at a time if needed.
ReplyDeleteLooking at the other movements and weights I think that if a div 3 male can do those things they can do 8 pull-ups. IMHO :)

Brian - I agree with Anthony completely.
ReplyDeleteThe point is to move quickly - so your job is to now get more rounds than anyone else. Kill it!
