Then in the same order all the Participants will perform dips on parallel bars and afterwards in the same order will perform the third and the last element which is squats.
9.5. Pull-ups with additional weight of 32 kg:
9.5.1. The pull-up has to be performed on the horizontal bar from the lowest hanging position with arms in a shoulder-width grip, and, while at the lowest hanging position, the arms have to be straight in elbow and shoulder joints.

If the participant deliberately prolongs the pause for more than this period of time, the participant has to end his performance of the element and, at that moment, the result is entered according to the number of repetitions performed so far. 
9.5.7. It is allowed to use magnesium.
9.5.8. The performance and repetition of the element is only allowed to start after the judge has given the command by touching the hand of participant.
9.6. Dip on parallel bars with additional weight of 48 kg:
9.6.1. Dips on parallel bars have to be executed starting from the highest point of the element performance, i. e., from the position with straight arms over the parallel bars.
9.6.2. At the lowest point of the element performance, the angle at the athlete’s elbow joint must be equal to or less than 90 degrees.
9.6.3. When performing dips on parallel bars, the back inclination should be straight and fixated. If dips on parallel bars will be executed by tilting forwards, with the pelvis area stationary, then these repetitions will not be counted. The wooden box will be placed in one foot (participant shoe size) distance behind the participant and if participant is touching this wooden box with his legs, repetition is not counted.
9.6.4. Dips have to be performed on parallel bars that are provided by the organizers of the competition. All participants execute the dips in the same way and form.
9.6.5. Maximum pause between repetitions at the highest position of the element performance is 2 seconds. The counting is conducted by a competition judge. If the participant deliberately prolongs the pause for more than this period of time, the participant has to end his performance of the element and, at that moment, the result is entered according to the number of repetitions performed so far. As it is not possible to provide repeated counting of the 2 seconds on the stopwatch (technically difficult), then the pause, which needs to be under two seconds, starts from the moment the athlete finishes performing a repetition, straightening arms at the elbow joints, and the judge announces the “number of repetitions” (e.g. “twenty two”), until the judge says “one”, at which point the participant has to continue the performance of the element (repetition). If the participant prolongs the pause and the judge says “two”, then two seconds have already passed and the participant has to stop the performance of the element. This method of time measurement has been verified experimentally, using a stopwatch. The time on the stopwatch, when the judge said “two” was 2.1-2.4 seconds, depending on the length of the phrases of the number of counted repetitions (“twenty two”, “thirty-eight”, etc.). 
9.6.6. It is allowed to use magnesium.
9.6.7. The performance and repetition of the element is only allowed to start after the judge has given the command by touching the hand of participant.

9.7.4. Maximum pause between repetitions at the lowest/highest position of the element performance is 2 seconds. The counting is conducted by a competition judge. If the participant deliberately prolongs the pause for more than this period of time, the participant has to end his performance of the element and, at that moment, the result is entered according to the number of repetitions performed so far.
9.7.5. The performance of the element is only allowed to start after both judges have given the command.
9.8. The counting of the repetitions:
9.8.1. One judge observes the straightening of joints (at the lowest position for elbow joints in pull-ups, at the highest position for elbow joints in dips, at the highest and lowest position for knee and hip joint in squats), and the necessary amplitude (pulling up above the horizontal bar, the elbow joints create an angle of less than 90 degrees in dips, and knee joints in squats).
9.8.2. The second judge observes that the knees are not bent at any moment during the whole motion of the element performance, i. e., the athlete does not use swinging, jerking or kicking motions, when performing pull-ups or dips on parallel bars. In other exercises, the judge performs the same functions as the first judge, but from a different angle.
9.8.3. The operator records the performance of all participants from the necessary angles in all exercises with a video camera/mobile phone (if required).
9.8.4. During the performance of an element, one of the judges counts the correctly performed number of repetitions in a loud voice. The second judge comments on the mistakes so that the participant can correct his technique and obtain the best possible result.
9.8.5. After the completion of a specific element, the judges announce preliminary results of each participant, and then examine the videos of each participant performing the exercise (depending on the situation, the determining of the result revision takes place only at the request of the judges) and enter the final number of counted repetitions in the competition protocol.
9.9. Determination of winners.
9.9.1. The winner is determined by counting the total points earned in all three elements.
9.9.2. The participant with the highest score is proclaimed the winner of the category.
9.9.3. The number of points for 1 repetition of a pull-up with additional weight of 32 kg – 3 point.

9.9.5. The number of points for 1 repetition of squats with additional weight of 75 kg – 1 point.
