the numbers. Please e-mail early if you plan on attending so we can plan accordingly for the
meet and keep all lifting groups manageable.

Lifters will be placed in groups according to their division and weight class. This will allow
for better competition. In a few very small cases will a lifter be moved to a different group.

THANK YOU TO ALL COACHES FOR MAKING THIS BECOME ONE OF THE
LARGEST AND MOST COMPETITIVE MEETS IN THE MIDWEST
 Meet Rules
SQUAT
1. The lifter must be facing the head judge before the lift.

2. A lifter must observe the commands by the head judge. After the lifter is in an unracked position with the bar the judge
will say “squat”.

3. The lifter must lower their body until the point of hip & point of knee are parallel to the ground. The judge will not give an
“up” command, but a spotter can. A failure to be low enough will be a disqualified lift.

4. The lifter must recover from the deepest point in a constant upward movement. The bar may stop but may not go back
down. Any double bouncing or downward movement once the ascension begins will be a disqualified lift.

5. The lifter must wait for the command of “rack” before replacing the bar. A failure to wait for the command will be a
disqualified lift. Once the “rack” command is given the lift is complete. Spotters may help the lifter return the bar.

6. Spotters may be used but cannot touch the bar until a safety issue is present. Any touching will be a disqualified lift.

7. Hands must remain on the bar at all times. The feet may not move in a stepping motion during the lifting attempt and may
not touch any part of the rack. A lifter may lift their toes during the lift. The bar cannot have any contact with the rack
during the up lift. Crashing of weight must be under control. Judges can control this. A failure in these areas will
disqualify the lift.

Bench
1. The lifters starting position is with the back of the head, shoulders, hips, and buttocks in contact with the flat bench
surface. Their shoes must be on the floor. Plates or blocks may be used for under their feet, but may not exceed 7 inches.

2. After receiving the bar at arms length, the judge will give a “LIFT” command where upon the lifter will lower the bar to
their chest and press. A judge’s command to press will not be given. This is just a touch of the chest and a press, no
bounce. A failure to pause will disqualify the lift.

3. After the lifter has pressed the bar straight upward with arms fully extended he/she is to wait motionless until the audible
“RACK” is given. Once the “rack” command is given the lift is complete. The bar is allowed to stop in its upward
movement but no downward movement is permitted once it has begun ascension.

4. Slight head movement is allowed. Feet must stay in the position they began in. The feet cannot leave the floor.
Shuffling of the feet is not allowed. The head, buttocks, and shoulders must remain on the bench at all times. Any
violation will disqualify the lift.

5. Major uneven extension of the bar is not allowed. If the bar stops its movement on one side, or lowers after the ascension
it is disqualified. The bar cannot touch any part of the rack in the upward or downward movement. The lifters feet also
may not come in contact with the upright supports of the bench. Any violation will disqualify the lift.

Clean
1. The lifter must be facing the judge. The lifter must specify to head judge before touching the bar if they will be attempting
hang or power clean.
2. The weight has to be pulled in a single continuous movement from the platform or from the knees (not the hip) depending
on what lift is being attempted. Any pause or stop will disqualify the lift.
3. Once the bar begins its upward movement the bar cannot move back down.
4. An athlete may only have 1 backward rock before they must lift the weight.
5. The lifter may take a step providing they remain on the platform.
6. The lifter may not lower the bar until the judge gives the command “down”.
7. The weight must be controlled back to the floor. This is to help protect the floor surface.
8. Spotters need to spot the bar and not the athlete

Clothing
Our program believes in performance. We stress the importance of strength and conditioning that relates to all
athletics. Therefore we will not allow squat suits, bench shirts, knee or elbow wraps, or smelling salts. Wrist
straps and waist belts are allowed along manta rays on squat. Required knee braces are allowed but knee sleeves
with a cross-stitching on the back to aid lifting is not allowed. T-shirts must be tucked in during all competition
to allow judges to see well. No Hats Allowed during competition. Please Promote proper attire from your teams
in representing your school by promoting school colors or school apparel.
