Hi to all lifters lifting in the battle of the boyne tomorrow especially lifters that have not lifted with the IPO before or none members. I have received a number of messages asking questions on some of the IPO rules. The following list below will answer all yer questions! SQUAT RULES 1) squat command will be given to start squat and rack to complete this rule is same as all other federations. 2) Squat depth had a few ask this question. The rule is you must squat below parallel. The hip joint must drop below the knee not level with it. Squat with good depth like most other federations. 3) Suicide grip is not allowed. 4) Wraps for raw your allowed 2.5 & for multiply 3 meter are allowed. 5) If lifting raw the only material allowed under your singlet is your cotton under wear. BENCHPRESS 1) No start command given arms must be locked before you start at your own place. Press command will be given after a pause only when you touch. When locked out rack command will be given. 2) Suicide grip not allowed. 3) Heels may be elevated of the ground but balls of the foot or toes must stay in contact. DEADLIFT 1) Knee length socks must be worn. Please take note only current members of the IPO can set or break IPO records! I hope i have covered all questions and explained. If you have any other questions please ask before you lift. Best of luck to all lifting. Shane Brodie IPO President WPU Vice President
