Women will use a 35lb bar, men will use a 45lb bar. Partners do not have to lift the same amount, but will only have 1 bar. Teams are responsible for loading/clearing the bars. Clamps will be available, but are not required, however if the plates fall off the bar, the lift does not count. Teams can squat or power clean. The lightest plate provided will be 5 lbs (no 2.5, 1 lb, etc.). Athletes are not required to flash their elbows - their knees and hips must be fully extended with barbell in the front rack position.
