74.237.4.250
This is the rule from the WPC/APF rule book "After receiving the bar at arms length, the lifter shall lower the bar to the chest"
This is the rule from the APC/GPC rule book "After receiving the bar at arm’s length, the lifter shall lower the bar to the chest" The rule has never said lower the bar to the abs, belly, or nose. The following clarification was added at the AGM in Gent, "(not below the sternum)" and await the head referee’s signal.
