2021 Worlds — Test 2: Strength
For time:
- 8-6-4-2 Alternating Single-Arm Dumbbell Squat Clean & Jerk
Men: 40-45-50-55 kg · Women: 32.5-35-37.5-40 kg
Time cap: 5 minutes
Athletes perform 8 single-arm dumbbell squat clean & jerks at the first (lightest) dumbbell, alternating arms every rep, then move up to progressively heavier dumbbells for 6, 4 and 2 reps. After the final rep the dumbbell is returned to the ground and the athlete runs across the finish line.
Athletes must alternate arms after every successful rep. After a successful squat clean to front-rack lockout, the free hand may steady the dumbbell but must come off before the jerk. A failed jerk returned to the shoulder without touching the ground may be re-attempted without a new clean. At least one hand must stay on the dumbbell until it is back on the ground. The free hand may not push off the body.
Each movement links to its full rulebook entry — standards, rep requirements, and the judging reference technical officials train against.
