CrossFit Open 22.3 Standards

22.3 Equipment Needed:

Barbell (Potentially up to 3 barbells)
Standard bumper plates (no larger than 18 inches) to load to the appropriate weights for your division
Collars to secure the plates on the barbell
Pull-up bar
Jump rope
Tape or chalk to mark the floor
Maybe a box if you are doing jumping pull-ups and need to get to the bar

22.3 Setup Requirements:

First, you must set up a line with tape or chalk directly underneath your pull-up bar.

Second, you will set up another line of tape or chalk 8 feet away from the first line.

Your thruster barbell will be behind the second line of tape, so that there is 8 feet+ of clear space between the rig and your barbell, for you to jump rope in.

The workout starts with you facing the rig, at the second line away from the rig.

You can have multiple barbells set up, and anyone can help move the barbells in and out of the way. Or, change out your weights as needed.

What’s The Tiebreak?

There is no tiebreak if you complete the workout. However, if you do not finish, your score is total number of reps and the you must record the split times of your first two thruster sets. Those will be the tie breaks. If you get through the 18 thrusters, that time will be your tiebreak. If you only get through the 21 thrusters, that will be your tiebreak time.

22.3 Thruster Standard

The barbell must remain behind the 8-foot line, away from the rig.

You can have multiple bars set up. If you only have one barbell, you may receive assistance changing the weight. You may NOT receive assistance settling the barbell if it bounces or rolls out of place.

The barbell must start on the ground, then your hip crease must go below the top of your knees.

You can do a full squat clean into the thruster on the first rep from the ground.

The rep credited when athletes hips, knees, and arms are fully extended. The bar must also be directly over the middle of your body, or slightly behind.

You must complete the rep in one motion. You cannot do a clean and then a jerk.

If you drop the bar from the overhead position, you have to wait for it to settle before you pick it up again. No catching while it bounces.

22.3 Double-Under / Single-Under Standards

You must rotate the rope forwards, not backwards.

For double-unders, the rope must pass under the feet twice for the rep to count. For single-unders, the rope must pass under the feet once.

22.3 Chin-Over-Bar Pull-Ups Standard

You must start with your arms fully extended and feet off the ground.

You can use any style grip on the bar.

You can utilize grips / hand protection OR tape the bar. But, you cannot do both.

The rep is counted when your chin breaks the horizontal plane of the pull-up bar, or your chin goes over the bar.

22.3 Chest-To-Bar Pull-Ups Standard

The standards are the same for this but your chest (at or below the collar bone) must touch the pull-up bar in order for the rep to count.

22.3 Bar Muscle-Ups Standard

You must pass through or begin with a hang below the bar, with your arms extended and feet off of the ground.

You cannot glide kip, do pull-overs, or rolls to support. You can kip the bar muscle-ups.

No part of your foot can go over the lowest part of the bar.

You must move through at least a portion of a dip to reach the top of the rep.

The rep is counted once your arms are fully locked out and your shoulders are slightly over the bar.

Only your hands can touch the bar, no other part of your arm can.

At the top of your rep, your arms must be supporting your weight, no resting on the bar.

22.3 Jumping Pull-Up Standard (Chin-Over and Chest-To-Bar)

You can utilize grips / hand protection OR tape the bar. But, you cannot do both.

For all of the jumping pull-up variations the bar must be at least 6 inches above your head. You may need to use a box or other stable surface to get closer to your bar.

You must hold on to the bar and lower yourself until your arms are fully extended, with your feet still touching the ground/box.

For the chest-to-bar jumping pull-ups, the rep is counted when your chest (at or below the collar bone) touches the bar.

For the chin-over jumping pull-ups, the rep is counted when your chin breaks the horizontal plane of the pull-up bar, or your chin goes over the bar.
