Awpc equipment. Bench press discharge: how to get it and what they are

Today's article will be of interest to those gym visitors who seek to develop superhuman strength in themselves and are not particularly interested in the shape and relief of their muscles. I'm talking about lifters who train mainly 3 exercises (squats, bench press and deadlift) during training and rarely do anything else (the rest of the exercises in lifting slang are called "utility").

An attempt to somehow classify the "lift" federations was not easy, so I had to resort to the help of Wikipedia. According to her data, there are 5 federations in Russia. In each of the regions of our vast homeland, there are representative offices, as a rule, of one of the 5 represented federations.

Federation IPF

We can say the most prestigious federation, only its crusts are rumored to be quoted abroad. It's better not to say anything about their official website, unless of course that's what I found. It's a very miserable creation made in html. Well, there are regional sites where you can see the current standards.

All exercises are performed in special equipment, which gives some kind of increase to your results. This equipment is not cheap and is specially selected. It is usually custom-made for world champions. Each federation has its own equipment jerseys, bandages, etc. "allowed" for the competition. Although most often I met the inzer company on the athletes.

Federation WPC-WPO

In this federation, there are as many as 3 internal, so to speak, "subspecies". Directly the WPC itself, in which it is allowed to take any drugs, there is also a gradation for the outfit and without the outfit division. Further, there is the GPC federation in which athletes compete exclusively in powerlifting and without equipment. There is also AWPC, I wrote about it. There is mandatory doping control in the AWPC, and accordingly, the standards there are earthly.

In this federation, there is a special regulation for a suit and personal equipment, which even includes shorts and socks :) I personally did not let it out at competitions, and somehow it still does not pull, but it seems to me that this is too much ...

RDFPF Federation

The federation is a representative of the international lifting federation WDFPF, headquartered in St. Petersburg. Doping control is carried out in the same way as in AWPC.

I don’t know exactly how it differs from others, except for mandatory doping control, but as they say, it’s good when there is a choice.

Federation IPA

This federation began to function only in 2011, it is the official representative of the International Powerlifting Association (IPA). There are 2 branches in the federation - in one they are tested for doping (IPA-A), in the other, respectively, no (IPA). You can also perform with or without equipment.

Also in the IPA federations, competitions are held only in the bench press, and both in equipment and without it.

WPA Federation

This federation is also very young and represents the International Powerlifting Federation World Powerlifting Alliance (WPA) in Russia. In it, you can also compete in powerlifting both with and without equipment, in the bench press, with and without doping control. Since the federation is very young (it has existed since 2010) and so far has held only one bench press competition in which 24 athletes participated, I see no reason to post their standards on the website. Moreover, this year they have not yet managed to arrange the championship and it was postponed to November-December.

Here's a voluminous article to learn. Of course, you can't cover all powerlifting in one article, so I will develop this topic.

At the end of the article, I suggest you look at the current European record holder in -, who is already pressing 302.5 kilograms lying without equipment.

Weighing is performed no earlier than 2 hours before the start of the competition in this category in the direct presence of 3 appointed judges and lasts 1.5 hours. The remaining time athletes use to prepare for the competition. Each participant is weighed in a separate room in the presence of his coach and three judges. The athlete's true weight is not announced to the public until all applicants competing in the selected category have been weighed.

An hour before the start, a draw is made to determine the weighing order. It also determines the sequence of lifting during the competition, when the participants order the same weight for their attempts.

If the weight does not correspond to the category, the athlete can repeat the weigh-in within 1.5 hours, but after all competitors in the given

10 minutes before the weigh-in, the athlete can change his usual category by contacting the head judge of the competition.

The panel of judges includes:

informant judge;
timekeeper;
stewards;
recorders;
assistants on the platform.

At competitions necessarily a doctor is present.

Informing judge organizes attempts, announces the set weight required for the next attempt and the participant's full name (calls him to the platform, announces the set weight).

Timekeeper monitors the recording of the time interval between the announcement of the barbell readiness signal and the beginning of the participant's attempt, as well as that the athlete leaves the platform within 30 seconds after the attempt.

The competitor is given 1 minute after being called to the platform to start the attempt. If the athlete starts moving at the set time, the clock stops. If he makes a second or third attempt using the conventional system, and at the same time there is a queue for the execution of the movement, he receives 3 minutes with a mandatory warning signal at the end of the first two minutes. In the squat and bench press, the start of the attempt coincides with the judge's start signal, and in the deadlift, with the start of the barbell lift.

Steering Judge Immediately after completing the exercise, he must go to the participant and ask how much weight he will lift in the next attempt. The competitor is given 1 minute between completing the previous attempt and informing the informing judge, through the distributor, of the weight declared for the next one. If the participant does not report the new weight within a minute, the weight on the apparatus will be adjusted at the request of the next participant in the classical sequence.

Recorders register the progress of the competition, sign the official weights tables, records of records and any other papers and documents that require a proper signature.

Helpers on the platform assist athletes preparing for attempts.

Possible boot errors:

if the apparatus has less weight than the initial one, the attempt is scored; if the attempt is unsuccessful, the participant is given an additional approach at the end of the round with the initially desired (requested) weight;
if a heavier weight is placed on the bar than originally requested, and the attempt is successful, it will count. If unsuccessful, the competitor will be given an additional set with the original weight requested by the lifter.

Three unsuccessful attempts in any of the movements, the participant is automatically removed (excluded) from the competition.

During the competition, on the main platform or stage there are three judges, one of which is main or central and two are lateral. The head judge is responsible for giving the correct signals in all 3 movements.

The signals for the three movements are:

Immediately upon the return of the barbell to the platform or to the stands at the end of the movement, all judges announce their decision to the public using light signals:

I) white - "good rise",
Ii) red - "failure".

Noticing a mistake or an inaccuracy sufficient to immediately disqualify the movement, the touch judge must raise his hand. If the referee and the side referee agree with this decision, the first one stops the execution of the movement at any safe (in his opinion) point and gives the participant a signal: a downward movement of the hand and a clear voice command: "On the stands!" ! ".

If the person who noticed the error is the main referee, he must, without raising his hand, see (check) whether at least one referee agrees with the decision. If one or both agree, the head judge stops the movement.

Prior to the start of the movement, if any member of the panel of judges fails to account for the barbell position or the athlete's original position, they may draw the competitor's attention to the error. If the majority of judges believe that a violation has been committed, the chief does not give a signal to start the movement. The head judge is not obliged to explain to the athlete his mistake, if he has the remainder of the unused time, which he can use to correct the position of the barbell grip or body position, in order to obtain a permitting signal.

The judges are obliged to refrain from any comments, not to receive any documents and not to give a verbal report regarding the course of the competition.

The head judge has the right to consult with the sidelines, the jury or any other official to force the course of the competition.

After the competition, three judges sign official results tables(points), records of records and any other documents.

A referee elected as chief in one category may act as a side judge in another.

Each federation has its own competition rules and standards.
