Weightlift Challenge

This challenge consists of two events; squat Snatch and squat Clean & Jerk.

The goal is to complete as many repetitions as possible in 150 seconds in the Snatch and 120 seconds in the Clean & Jerk, using a barbell load determined by body weight, height, gender and age. One point is given for each approved repetition. The athlete with the highest score wins.
