Nick , you gotta admit that you didn’t even look at the main judge and forgot to look for the signal. Just because in slow motion it was close in timing with her hand in the air it doesn’t matter. You have to show a motionless locked out knees position at the end and you simply didn’t accomplish that. Sorry man.

Hey Nick, I was a competitor that day at the Branch Warren Classic who got silver in your weight class! I'm shown squatting at 2:09 . Nice to see you got bronze and that you and I weren't far off each other totalwise! Hope to see you around in another CO local meet sometime this year! As for the squat, you did jump the rerack command. Your hip crease is below the top of the knee so you weren't called on depth. The side refs were looking to see you lockout completely before moving forward.

@enricopravato6677 2 жыл бұрын
well done! it's really beautiful as a powerlifter to see new people get into the sport! your third squat looked good from the video, plus it's really strange for the head ref to give a white light if you missed a command. A possible explanation would be if she waved her hand before saying the command out loud so you saw the command but the two other judges did not hear it quite yet, in which case you should get your lift (in cases like this, where there are 2 red light your coach is allowed to go talk to the judges to ask for explanation and it can get your lift back on the board). Anyway great job i hope this will help to get more people into the sport and i hope you had a great time competing!!
