Bench Press command rule change?
Posted By: Ryan Edwards

What does everyone think of the current start rule vs having a press command at the chest once again? Some lifters prefer the press command because it makes it easier to know what the judges want. The fact that the other US federations have the same rule would improve unity in the sport. Other lifters prefer the start command at lift off. I've heard the IPF is considering changing the rule and I'm curious how everyone feels else about it.
