Who can pull themselves up by the bootstraps the most times?
Feel the lactic acid spread in the hall when the Swedish Championship in Chins will be decided on stage! Who can do the most? The top six get a medal – and the top three in each class get nice trophies!
Age limit for participation
The age limit for participation in the public competitions is 16 years.
Warm-up for participation
There will be equipment exhibitors on site and you can ask permission to use their equipment if you want to warm up as early as hours before the races. Competitors who are at the stage prior to the start of the competition to receive instructions and conduct weigh-ins will be given a chance to feel out/warm up on the competition equipment (provided they do not disturb exhibitors etc.).
Who wins in case of equal number of reps?
If two – or more – competitors on the podium get the same number of approved reps, they are separated by body weight. The one with a heavier body weight ends up ahead of the one with a lower body weight. Competitors outside the podium with the same number of approved reps receive the same ranking.
Controller
As of 2010, the rules for SM Bar-Dips, SM Chins and Biceps Battle have been adapted to be in line with the rules adopted for the popular Fitness Five competition.
Clothing
The only dress code for the different events is that the competitor wears a tank top. This is so that the judges can see the movements of the body and judge fairly.
Equipment
The competition will be held on Gymleco equipment.
Chins (Men & Women on own body weight)
– You have 100 seconds to do as many repetitions as possible
– On the referee’s signal, the first chinse is started.
– Maximum stretch in the bottom position, chin over the rail in the top position and no rocking or bouncing allowed.
– The movement should be with the elbows outwards and not forwards.
– The pace must not be faster than the judges can clearly see the turns and the body is kept in the correct position.
– Marked stop at the bottom position.
– It is not allowed to “bring” the legs during the repetition.
– The position of the legs should be straight during the exercise.
– Only magnesium is allowed as an excipient.
Equal results are distinguished by body weight (heavier body weight wins), in the case of podium positions. Weighing is done afterwards. In case of repeated incorrect repetitions, the athlete has the right to continue, but only strict repetitions will be accepted.
