WOD #3 – “Freddy’s Deadlift”

Bar Hang/150 Partner Axl Deadlifts @135# (10 Minute Time Cap)

At the start of 3,2,1, GO A1 and A2 will simultaneously jump up and hang from the pullup bar while A3 and A4 perform Partner Deadlifts using an Axl bar.  Any combination of athletes can work on any of the movements at any time; however, reps will only count if there are TWO athletes hanging from the bar.  The team that finishes the 150 Deadlifts the fastest wins the event.   Children 12 and under must work as a team, will lift a Trainer Bar (Total weight 35#) and will hang from rings.  If a team is unable to complete all of the Deadlifts within the 10-minute time cap, the total amount of completed Deadlifts will be used as ranking for that team, and a 5-point penalty will be awarded to teams that don’t complete the workout.

Movement Standards

Hang – The athletes will jump, or step up into a hang position on the pullup bar (kids on rings).  Using any grip and BOTH hands, the athlete must remain in complete hang position while the other athletes work.  No reps will be given out when the athlete falls from the bar or their feet hit the ground during a deadlift.

Axl Deadlift – Two athletes will lift an Axl Bar weighing 135lbs.  The two athletes must have both hands on the bar using any kind of grip or stance but both athletes must be on only ONE side of the bar.  The weights must touch the ground, and each athlete must achieve full extension at the hip, knee and ankle, which means that athletes’ height will have an effect on the movement.   Lifting straps are not permitted.
