FYI on WABDL BENCH RULES

[BODYSNATCHER]

I just thought I'd give some info on one of the WABDL bench rules that some of the lifters might not be aware of - THE BENCH PRESS DOESN'T START - UNTIL THE PRESS COMMAND IS GIVEN - WHEN THE BAR REACHES THE CHEST. So basically, you can do whatever you want UNTIL THE PRESS COMMAND - tap dance, hoola-dance, whatever - it doesn't matter - until that press command is given. Alot of viewers/lifters don't know this particular information, and when viewing the 800 bench video, some have said "he didn't wait for the start signal" which is USAPL, not WABDL - or "he didn't start with the arms completely locked" - which again, isn't WABDL.

Tap dance or hoola-dance, Hehe. I'm lucky to remember tuck the tris, drive with legs, much less dance steps.
