The front leaning rest position is the only authorized rest position for the HRP. No more sagging in the middle or flexing your back! You can’t bend or flex your knees, hips, trunk, or neck, either.

      

You can adjust your feet during the event, but you can’t lift them off the ground to do it.

      These are the four movements for the HRP:

       Movement 1: On the command of “Go,” push your body up from the ground as a single unit by fully extending your elbows. If you don’t maintain a generally straight body alignment from your head to your ankles, your reps don’t count. You end this movement in the front leaning rest.

       Movement 2: From the front leaning rest position, bend your elbows to lower your body back to the ground. Your chest, hips, and thighs should touch the ground at the same time. You don’t have to touch your face or head to the ground.

       Movement 3: Move both arms out to the side, straightening your elbows until you’re in the T position. After you extend your arms completely, bring your hands back beneath your shoulders. This is an immediate movement.

       Movement 4: Place your hands flat on the ground with your index fingers inside the outer edges of your shoulders, returning to position to execute movement 1 again. When your hands are back under your shoulders, you’ve completed one repetition.

      

If you rest on the ground, pick up your feet, fail to keep a straight body alignment, or fail to continuously move, your grader will terminate the event. The repetitions you have completed (remember, a rep isn’t done until your hands are back under your shoulders) still count.

      

You need 10 HRPs to score 60 points, 20 for 65 points, and 30 for 70 points. If you can knock out 60, you score 100 points.

      The Sprint-Drag-Carry is about more than sprinting, dragging, and carrying. The SDC even has a little more sprinting than it has dragging and carrying. Here are the five parts of this event, which you start in the prone position with the top of your head behind the start line:

       Sprint: On the command of “Go,” jump up and sprint 25 meters in your lane. Touch the 25-meter line with your foot and hand, bust a U-turn, and sprint back to the start line.

       Drag: Grab each strap handle on the sled. Pull the sled backward until you have the whole thing over the 25-meter line and then turn it around and pull it back. The entire sled has to cross the start line. Figure 2-7 shows the sled drag.Don’t jerk the straps — use a steady pull to move the sled. Remember not to sling the sled to turn it around, too.

       Lateral: Face one side and perform a lateral run for 25 meters, touch the line with your foot and hand, and head back to the start line. Face the same direction on the way back. Don’t cross your feet during laterals.Zack McCroryFIGURE 2-7: Sled drag.

       Carry: Pick up your pair of 40-pound kettlebells and run to the 25-meter line. Step on or over the line with one foot, turn around, and run back to the start line.Be careful when you turn around with the kettlebells — maintain control of your feet and the kettlebells the whole time. If you drop the kettlebells, just pick them up and keep moving.

       Sprint: Put your kettlebells on the ground, turn around, and sprint to the 25-meter line. Touch the line with a hand and foot and then return to the start line as fast as you can.

      

Set up your equipment where you want it before you start the event — that way, you don’t have to mess with it during the event. Every second counts!
