Let’s keep it going. Confess away. Couldn’t sleep last night and dug through some old classic threads. I confess that I am actually curious to where Professor X is this days. Trolling up another forum? Mastering his lunges? Who knows.

Surely the question is whether it was in the rules or not. The issue then is with the rules themselves not the judging.

But why is that a rule? I’ve never been assisted by hitting the rack. The result is quite the opposite.

IPF changed their rules a few years ago i think, now they say “Deliberate contact between the bar and the bar rests support” is reason for disqualification of a bench attempt. I like it this way, as others said, typically touching the rack makes it harder to finish the lift.

When I’m dieting or cutting I like to play little will power games with myself, “I’m hungry, but I’ll bet I can push this meal out another 30 minutes, if you can make it 30, you can make it another 15.”
