New rule. The clock is stopped as soon as the bar leaves the platform; not when it reaches knee height

As from the 1st January 2007, a request for changing the weight of the barbell must be announced within the first 30 seconds of the allocated time between attempts, i.e. 1 minute or 2 minutes.

As from January 2007 the minimum increase between the 1st and 2nd attempts must be at least 2kg. However the existing minimum of 1kg increase remains for the 3rd attempt.
