Athlete may not rerack the barbell and start again once the time begins. DO NOT ditch the barbell off the back at any point, intentional bar ditching is grounds for disqualification. For the safety of our spotters and the athletes, you must stay with your weight and work with the spotters to safely rerack. Most reps in 30 seconds wins.

BENCH

Judge will only count the reps that touch the chest and fully lock out at the top. No Spoto style reps allowed. Spotters can provide a lift out of the rack and will ensure a safe rerack.
