LIFT RULES:
Once lifter is called to platform and weight is properly racked, they will have 90 seconds to successfully complete each attempt. Each lifter will have 3 opportunities to achieve their heaviest lift. Lifter must listen to Chief Judge’s commands. Failure follow those commands lifters attempt will not count.

SQUAT:
• Lifter needs to bend their knees and lower the body until the top surface of the leg (upper quad at the hip joint) is lower than the top of the knee
• Lifter must have straight knees at both the beginning and end of movement.
• Lifter may not step forward or backward, or move their feet laterally while squatting. Must maintain visible control and balance.
• Lifter may not double bounce at the bottom (go up, down, then up again) and must maintain upward movement of the bar.

• In the start position, lifters head, shoulders and buttocks must make contact with the bench.
