If an athlete’s attempts are back to back, 3 min between attempts will be given. Straps, briefs, suit, belt, double-belt, chalk are all allowed. Full lockout is needed for a good lift. Down commands are needed from the judge. Intentional dropping of the bar will result in disqualification. Two platforms will be used if necessary.
