Sherdog Whiteboard
I will keep the top 5 in each lift. We will start with the basic lifts and can add other categories if there is interest.
The board starts today, April 29, 2013. I don't care what you did yesterday, last week, or last year.
RULES:
1. You must have a video of the lift. It's 2013, it's not that difficult.
2. If you're submitting lifts, you need to keep a training log on Sherdog. I don't want random people just coming in & posting a lift.
3. Wraps, straps, sleeves, belts are all ok - suits aren't.

Judging (this will be updated as/if needed):
SQUAT:
I will typically use the 'water test' when judging all squats.
If there was water on your thigh:
1. It rolls toward your hips - good lift.
2. It doesn't roll either way - borderline, but we'll count it.
3. It rolls toward your knees - no lift.
STRICT PRESS:
1. The lift will NOT count if there there is any knee bend prior to the start of the lift.
2. I repeat, your knees MUST BE LOCKED.
3. From the chest/clavicle to overhead with no additional momentum builder.
4. I don't care if you don't think it helped you, it probably did. If it didn't, you wouldn't do it.
BENCH PRESS:
1. Butt must stay on the bench.
2. Bar must touch your chest.
3. Bar must be locked out.
4. You do not have to pause
SNATCH:
1. Hang or from the floor are both acceptable
2. Power Snatch is acceptable
CLEAN:
1. Hang or from the floor are both acceptable
2. Power clean is acceptable
