RULES:

• Lifters have to submit a video on IG tagging @armliftingusa, @fatgripz and #armliftingusa.
• The lifter's whole body needs to be in the video so it can be judged accurately.

• Thumbless grip is NOT allowed.
• You must use a standard 28mm bar or larger diameter.
• The bar must be straight.  Bent bars can alter the lift.

• NO HOOK GRIP!
• NO wrist wraps.
• Lower the bar under control after completing the deadlift.
• No hitching or supporting the bar on the legs prior to locking out the weight.
• The bar MUST be pulled off of the floor, not from mats.
