2 RULES OF PERFORMANCE SQUAT: The lifter shall face the front of the platform. The bar shall be held horizontally across the shoulders, hands and fingers gripping the bar, and the top of the bar not more than the thickness of the bar below the outer edge of the shoulders. The hands may be positioned anywhere on the bar inside and/or in contact with the inner collars. After removing the bar from the racks, the lifter must move backwards to establish the starting position. When the lifter is motionless, erect with knees locked, and the bar properly positioned, the Chief Referee will give the signal to begin the lift. The signal shall consist of a downward movement of the arm with an audible command of SQUAT. Upon receiving the Chief Referee s signal, the lifter must bend the knees and lower the body until the top surface of the legs at the hip joint is lower than the top of the knees; only one decent is allowed. The lifter must recover at will to an upright position with the knees locked. Double bouncing at the bottom of the squat or any downward movement is not permitted. When the lifter is motionless the Chief Referee will give the signal to rack the bar. The signal to rack the bar will consist of a backward motion of the arm and the audible command RACK. The lifter then must return the bar to the racks. BENCH The lifter must lie on his back with head, shoulders, and buttocks in contact with the bench surface, and the feet must be flat on the floor. His hands and fingers must grip the bar positioned in the rack. This position shall be maintained throughout the lift. After removing the bar from the racks, the lifter must lower the bar to the chest (the chest, for the purpose of the rule, finishes at the base of the sternum/breastbone), hold it motionless on the chest, after which the Chief Referee will signal the audible command PRESS. The signal shall be given as soon as the bar is motionless and properly positioned. The lifters must then return the bar to arms-length with no excessive/immoderate uneven extension of the arms. When held motionless in this position, the audible command RACK shall be given. DEADLIFT The lifter shall face the front of the platform with the bar laid horizontally in front of the lifter s feet, gripped with an optional grip in both hands and lifted until the lifter is standing erect. On completion of the lift the knees shall be locked in a straight position and the shoulders back. The Chief Referee s signal shall consist of a downward motion of the arm and the audible command, DOWN. The lifter must then put the bar down under control.
