NEVADA BARBELL CLUB

The Squat

The lifter will face the front of the platform towards the head Referee. The lifter will take the weight onto their back or shoulders and prepare their proper stance. The proper stance is with the knees locked and the head up. The lifter may not hold the inside sleeves or discs at any time during the performance of the lift. The edge of the hands gripping the bar may be in contact with the inner surface of the inside collar. The lifter will begin to Squat without any Squat Command from the Head Judge.

When the lifter is getting set, the spotters can help stabilize the weight. Spotters must not touch the bar or lifter once the lifter has started the lift. The lifter may ask for a Re-Rack in order to get the bar set. A lifter can have as many as two Re-Racks. After two Re-Racks the lift becomes No Lift.

The lifter should descend until they break parallel and then return to the beginning stance, standing completely erect with knees locked.

The lifter must wait for the Head Judge to give the Rack command before returning the bar to the rack.

After the Head Referee give the Rack command the spotters may help the lifter return the bar to the rack.

During the squat, the lifters feet must remain stationary without moving and the bar must move up in one continual motion. Slowing of the bar is allowed, but any descent of the bar will result in No Lift.
