In Response To: Regina got it - you can too (jray)

Again you missed the main point.Do what you want with your hands! If you can, levitate the bar with no hands.
The rule says "Any downward movement of the BAR in the course of being pressed out". Doesnt mention what your hands are doing, be it holding the bar or waiving at the crowd, its the bar that cant go downward.
If you are not watching the bar and are waiting to see if a hand lowers you are doing a disservice to those lifters who are following the rules as written by inserting your own interpretation.
