I am also wondering if like when I unrack the bar, it clanks on the thing the bar sits in, would that get me red lighted?
Or if it clankity clanks around when I am re racking it???

Specify racks IN when you turn in your rack height. It will solve the clankity problem.
You’ll get help on the re-rack.
What does racks in mean? I wish I had a picture of the squat rack I was going to be lifting in so that I know what I am up against. Do you think it clanks just because I am short and the equipment i am using at my commercial gym isn’t fully adjustable to my 5’0-ness??
You will not get red lighted for clanking during the walk out. It just sucks for you because it’s frustrating and uses up energy.
Read this part carefully:
Most of the time the ones who go racks in are the people who use a very wide grip on their squat. That being said, I go racks in, as does another guy who is a massive squatter compared to me, and we BOTH use a narrow grip. During my first meet, I found that I clanked. I heard this other fellow did racks in despite having a narrow grip (a grip like mine), so I tried it. It works fucking wonders. I don’t know why others don’t do it.
I HIGHLY recommend racks in. When you get to the meet, you’re going to have to step up and get your rack heights. For whatever reason, I was nervous the first time I had to do this. I can only imagine how you’ll feel. It doesn’t help just saying it, but DONT BE NERVOUS. Walk up there, take your time finding your rack height (someone will help you, don’t worry!), and maybe even experiment as to whether or not you want racks in.
You see the rack that I squatted out of? You will squat out of the exact same rack.
TL;DR. Go racks in to prevent clanking if your grip allows it. Clanking doesn’t get you red lighted, it’s just frustrating and uses your energy.

I believe this beats my best 105kg by 2 reps, with a more narrow grip, and it’s after BB Rows. Bench is progressing (I think).
I dropped in to visit DF today and let me you guys , he was looking swolle. That is all.
You could probably almost tell I had arms. Generally when I look at anyone head on, my paper arms seem to disappear.
