Time Deduction
20 seconds per rep will be deducted from the competitor’s final 5k time for the Pump and Run Division. The maximum deduction is 15 minutes (or 45 total reps)
Lifting Technique
Lift starts with the bar in the extended position. Feet must remain in contact with the floor throughout the lift (no hooking bench support with feet/legs). Bar must touch the chest and be fully extended on each press – stopping terminates the lift. No bouncing bar off chest. Shoulder and rear must stay in contact with the bench during lifts. If necessary, plates may be placed under lifters’ feet. No baggy clothing, belts, wraps or lifting suits. Decisions of our judges are final.
Lifting Time
Participants will begin by completing their max rep bench press. Registration will begin at 11:30am and Bench Press will begin at 12pm. Race will commence after all racers have completed their lift (approximately 1:00 pm)
The event will take place rain or shine. If the forecast, calls for rain, then the lifting portion will take place at Crossfit Hoboken at 38 Jackson Street Hoboken, NJ 07030.
