Powerlifters have seemed to cope without a ref calling depth for as long as I can remember. If you are that bothered, get a mate to do it for you.


They also dont have a "lift" and "down" signal as you get in strongman deadlifts though... I don't know the answer but a "stand" and "squat" commands would appear to be the equivalent in this case

Erm, yes, they do.

Centre ref puts his hand up when you can lift and brings it down when you can put it down.

The only powerlifting comp I went to the centre referee was asleep due to f**king boredom

My mistake anyway

I refer back to the yoke and farmers example in any case but either way the guys will know the rules and can expect to be treated equally which is all that matters

the squats become paused though do they not. For a guy without a suit this is made more difficult.
At the start and the end of a deadlift you are not 'in-between' doing the lift like in a squat.

if ppl are worried about depth then dont wear a suit Grin

just my 2 pennys worth.

Easy - If you get no repped, go lower

Rinse and repeat!

Ben, is the dumbell event split timed? Just thinking there might be a lot of guys sharing points on it if not?

Mike, the only reason for the "lift" command on DL is too stop bouncing, otherwise, it would just be like PL with "down" commands only

Squat - no "up" call but you can have your own helper calling it if you want - but obviously that is just their opinion and not the refs.

Log Lift - keeping the rules close to the log lift champs...

No maximum number of lifts but one fail and out, any competitors tying on a weight will go to count back on number of lifts used.

There will be a JT log to warm-up on so if you are coming in heavy you can still warm-up well.
