2 Weeks Out from Gauntlet III


Hey guys!!
2 Weeks out and we’re pumped! Click the links regarding heat/lineup info:
Event #1
Event #2/3

Here’s the lowdown of what to expect:

Event #1:
FRONT SQUAT LADDER:
male - 155/185/225/255/275/315
female - 95/115/135/165/185/205
*You will have 30 seconds to attempt each rung in the ladder, with a 10 second transition period to the next weight.  If you fail to perform the lift, you will use remaining the time to deadlift as many reps as possible as the tiebreaker.
** If you successfully complete the ladder, you will move to the finals of the event where there will be a special tournament of champions!

EVENT 2/3: Here are some of the movements you can expect to see:
Toes to bar, HSPU, KB snatch, power clean, deadlift, running, power snatch, and various other surprises! We plan to provide some videos later on regarding judging standards.

SCALING:
This event is for EVERYONE. As it's getting closer  some folks are getting a little nervous about "competing". Every single event can be scaled, with either doing a lighter weight or different movement. Every level will be challenged and whether you're a seasoned competitor or a rookie you'll have a blast on the 15th. 

FINALS:
After the 3 events are completed we will take the top 4 men and women into the finals. In the even to a tie, the Front Squat Ladder will be the tie breaker to determine who goes to the finals. We are doing the finals tournament style. (1 vs. 4, 2 vs. 3, head to head matchups). The winners of the semi-finals match ups then go head to head for the overall winner spot.
