MOVEMENTS

The lifts may be performed in any order, however athlete must verify their equipment prior to the first lift.

Back Squat:

Barbell begins in the squat rack.

The barbell must be unracked from the squat rack without assistance.
After unracking the bar the athlete must step back to begin the squat.
The athlete must squat to a depth BELOW PARALLEL where the hip crease is clearly below the top of the knee with the barbell controlled in a back rack position.
* High or Low Bar positions are both acceptable
The athlete must then stand, without assistance to a position where the knees and hips are fully extended with the barbell supported in the back rack position.
The athlete must rerack the barbell without assistance to complete the lift.
Ensure that spotting bars / straps do not block the view required to verify the movement standards required for the back squat - to a depth clearly below parallel.

Bench Press:

A spotter/assistant to help lift the bar out of the rack is strongly recommended but NOT required. Spotters may help to assist with taking the bar out of the rack to the starting position with the athletes arms fully extended and the bar fully supported over the chest by the athlete. Once the assistant lets go of the bar at the starting position, they may not touch the bar again until helping to re-rack when the lift is done.

The acceptable body position for the one repetition is as follows:
* Both complete shoulder blades and the glutes must be in contact with the bench pad at all times. If either comes off of the pad during a lift, the lift will not count.
* In order to achieve firm footing, lifter may have plates or blocks under their feet. If either foot comes off of the floor or plates during a lift the lift will not count.
* Hooking of feet/legs around the bench supports is not permitted.
* Per IPF standards, the spacing of the hands can not exceed 81 cm (31.9") measured between the index fingers. The maximum grip width permitted will have each index finger on or inside the 81 cm (31.9") marks at each end of the bar shaft. If the hands move outside of the designated markings during a lift attempt that single repetition will not be counted.
* These lines need to be clearly marked and visible on the barbell shaft with chalk. Failure to have these lines clearly marked and visible makes the athletes score subject to penalty at the judge's discretion.
* Both hands must remain on the barbell during the entire repetition and must remain within in contact with the markings at all times.
When the athlete has full unassisted control of the barbell extended over their chest after the initial unrack, they may begin their attempt by lowering the bar to the chest. There must be clear contact with the chest. Once contact has been made the athlete will then press the bar back to the starting position with the elbows clearly extended and the bar over the chest. Once the arms are fully extended, the athlete must show a pause to demonstrate full control prior to reracking the barbell.
Deliberately bouncing the barbell off the chest may be interpreted as trying to gain an unfair advantage and could result in a penalty being assessed.

Deadlift:

Barbell begins on the floor.

This is a traditional deadlift with the hands outside of the knees (Sumo Deadlift is not permitted).
Any style of grip is allowed.
The bar is lifted to the finishing position where the hips and knees are fully extended with the head and shoulders behind the bar.
Once the athlete reaches the required finishing position they will lower the barbell to the ground while maintaining control of the bar. Dropping the bar is NOT allowed.

Any athlete who alters/modifies the equipment or movements described in this document or shown in the video standards may be disqualified from the competition if deemed by the head judges to give an unfair advantage.
