This is pretty incredible to me. It seems like it's one of the most common gymnastics movements after the pulling. Certainly way more common than RMU/BMU in probably every gym's programming. Definitely more common than HSW. Rope climbs are few and far between, and I've been in gyms that don't even have ropes because of space limitations.
In fact a lot of the programming has been strange. The heaviest barbell movements were or will be both deadlifts. For my age group (45-49) you will not do anything with a barbell heavier than 135 pounds other than deadlift. And the deadlift numbers in my age group are dumb. I am somewhere between advanced and elite on most strength charts (I weigh about 180, and my 1RM is 425). While you don't get points for bodyweight percentage, 2.4x is pretty solid. Yet for semifinals that would get me to the 4th bar, so I'd either fail or not even try 60% or 70% of the weights.
I know it's not the sport of toes-to-bar, and it's constantly varied, and you need to expect the unexpected, and all of that, but this just seems like thoughtless programming. Kinda disappointing.
