Re: 14.5???
Not saying I expect it here, but do you think we will ever see lunges of some sort in the open? Walking lunges would probably be out but front rack or overhead lunges in place are fairly easy to...

Re: 14.4 Tips and strategies
I can't see why not. standards just say the rep needs to start on the ground and end on the shoulders with knees and hips locked out.

Re: Amateur division
I agree with that. Having it at a separate time of the year would be important.

Re: 14.3 tips and strageties. Jump or step?
Even if you can do rebound jumps it might be better for pacing to do step ups. That way you aren't to work out for the next set of dead lifts. Or maybe do 10 rebound jumps then the last five do step...

I could easily see something like

C & J
Burpees
But I could also see them wanting to do 3 exercises in this workout, so maybe something like

Re: Any guesses on 14.2
I'm thinking something like

Re: 14.1 What do you think it will be?
Just saw they announced 14.1 will be Garret Fisher against Marcus Hendren. That should be a good match up.
