2025 Worlds — Test 2: Strength
3 timed windows to find a 1-rep-max Squat Clean & Jerk.
Athletes get three separate 30-second windows to make attempts. All age groups perform the same test. Score is the heaviest successful lift.
Each heat is split into 4 groups of 4. Every 30 seconds a new group begins its window, and after 2 minutes the first group starts its second window. Athletes may make as many attempts as they like within each 30-second window, continuing until all have completed three windows.
Athletes get 1 minute to preload before the first lift, may attempt as often as they like within the window, and change their own weights (plates 1.25–25 kg). Any shoulder-to-overhead from the front rack is allowed — no jerking or pressing from the back rack. Clips must be on before any attempt; dropping the bar behind, or a knee touching the ground, is a no-lift. Score is the heaviest successful lift.
Each movement links to its full rulebook entry — standards, rep requirements, and the judging reference technical officials train against.
