- The technique known as "hooking" is permitted. It consists
of covering the last joint of the thumb with the other fingers of the
same hand while gripping the bar.
- In all lifts, pulling from the "hang" is forbidden.
- In all lifts, touching the bar against the legs shall not render the
lift "No Lift."
- In all lifts, the referee must count as "No Lift" any
unfinished attempt in which the bar has arrived at the height of the
knees.
- In all lifts, if the bar stops in its upward path before arriving at
the shoulders (clean) or arm's length (snatch and jerk), the attempt
shall be rendered "No Lift."
- The use of grease, water or any similar lubricant of any kind on the
thighs is forbidden. The lifter who uses lubricants will be ordered to
remove them. During the removal the clock will continue to run.
- In all lifts, touching the platform with any part of the body other
than the feet shall render the attempt "No lift."
- Any clean in which the bar is placed on the chest before the turning
over of the elbows shall render the attempt "No lift."
- Any clean touching the thighs or knees with the elbows or upper arms
shall render the attempt "No lift."
- In the jerk, any apparent effort from the shoulders, if the lift is
not completed, must be counted as "No lift." This includes
lowering the body or bending the knees.
- After the referee's signal to replace the bar on the platform, the
lifter must lower the bar and not let it drop either deliberately or
accidentally. The lifter may release his grip when the barbell has
passed below the level of the waist.
- If a competitor cannot fully stretch their arm resulting from
anatomical deformation of his elbows he must report this fact to the
three referees and the jury before the beginning of the competition.
