Default Bb4u Members Lift Records!

So heres the place to post your lift videos and be judged fairly, you will be judged in a standard Powerlifting fashion by 3 referees .

Each of the three referees judges each lift. Two or more white lights indicate a good lift, two or more red lights no lift. A loader/spotter may not touch the lifter or the bar during the attempt itself. However, if the lifter is in trouble and injury may result, the loader/spotter may relieve the lifter of the bar at the request of the lifter. Each competitor is allowed three attempts at each of the lifts. The best valid attempt at each lift counts toward the Record.

Squat

A squat rack may be a one-piece unit or it may consist of two stands that will hold the bar horizontally.

Causes for disqualification, resulting in no lift, are:

Double bouncing at the bottom of the lift

Any downward movement during the ascent

Failure to assume an upright position, with knees locked, at the start or end of the lift

Movement of the feet in any direction during the lift (slight lateral movement is allowed; the lifter's toes and/or heels may momentarily come up off the platform, but must immediately return to the original position)

Failure to reach the proper depth at the bottom of the lift

Moving the position of the hands or the bar (the bar may move no more than its diameter on the lifter's back)

Contacting the legs with the elbows or upper arms (slight contact is allowed, provided it offers no support that might aid in the lift)

Failure to make a genuine attempt to return the bar to the racks

Intentional dumping or dropping of the bar

Contact by spotter/loaders with the bar or lifter

Bench Press

The bench must be flat and level.

Once the lifter has established a body position, it must be maintained throughout the lift.

The lifter must then remove the bar from the racks, with or without the help of spotter/loaders.

The lifter must then lower the bar to the chest and hold it motionless. There must be a definite and visible pause before the lifter returns the bar to arm's length. After the bar is held motionless in this finish position, the bar is returned to the racks.

Causes for disqualification, resulting in no lift, are:

Any change in the position of the shoulders or head, raising of buttocks, lateral movement of hands, or excessive movement of the feet during the lift itself

An inadequate pause of the bar on the chest

Heaving, bouncing, or allowing the bar to sink into the chest after it has become motionless

Uneven extension of the arms during the lift

Allowing the bar to sink into the chest on the upward press

Downward motion of the bar on the upward press

Failing to press the bar to simultaneous full extension of the arms at completion of the lift

Deliberate contact between the bar and the uprests of the bench in order to assist the lift

Contact of the lifter's feet with the bench or its supports

Contact by spotter/loaders with the bar or lifter

Dead Lift

The bar is laid on the platform. The lifter picks it up in one continuous movement until reaching an upright position with shoulders locked.

Causes for disqualification, resulting in no lift, are:

Any downward movement of the bar before the lifter reaches the upright position

Failure to stand erect, with shoulders back and knees locked

Supporting the bar on the thighs during the lift

Movement of the feet in any direction during the lift (rocking on the heels is permitted)

Allowing the bar to return to the platform without maintaining control with both hands

You may also choose an odd lift meaning any lift outside of the 3 powerlifts like Curls etc, however the 3 referees will have to be in agreement that they will be able to fairly judge the lift.

I myself will be a Referee, i need 2 more referees and one reserve referee incase a referee is absent or is wanting his/her video judged. So please apply to become a Referee and give good reasons why i should choose you.

Videos must be of decent clear quality otherwise a no lift will be given, also you will have to write down the date and your username, plus the lift your attempting on paper and hold it up infront of the camera before the lift begins.

some mighty tight rules there. I'm going to try and bench 425 today, but I don't think I will have a video camera with me. What if I draw a picture with crayons and post it up?

hahaha some of these rules are just silly

no movement of the hands during a squat - what does this have to do with anything?

rack has to be a one-piece - how can ya get a one-piece rack??

supporting the bar on the thighs during the lift - exactly what is meant by this? because if its contact then id have to chop off half my legs

Uneven extension of the arms during the lift - so you have to first even out your strength on each side before even thinking of competing..??

Allowing the bar to return to the platform without maintaining control with both hands - what platform??

i dont bench press, but for me this is a:

squat - place the bar on your traps/shoulders, squat down till your past par, then squat back up to the top

deadlift - grab the bar an pull it up off the floor till your body is fully upright

Interesting... I'll have to take a cam to my leg workout

Basically you are just saying the lift has to be up to general powerlifting org. standards. Cool.

A squat rack may be a one-piece unit or it may consist of two stands that will hold the bar horizontally.

a one piece would be the power rack, where everything is connected, so it's a one piece. And as he said, it doesn't have to be.

No Hitching, no resting the bar on your thighs after you are halfway up.

No, so you are not loading more weight on your strong arm so your weak arm does not hinder your lift

Lol, so in all your strongman training you never learned anything about PL lifts? Maybe thats why your form is so sketch.

I'm holding back, just in case you get close to my lifts.... then I'll unleash my raw power, and the world will see the strength ....

oh forget it... I'm getting old, it hurts ..but I'm still having fun!!!


Thanks for the compliments guys! I do think if I shot for 435 to start with, I may have got it. I had only one slight sticking point on the 425 but powered on through it.
