I'm not sure that's true anymore Steve. I mean, I think if you can't stand upright w. the bar, that should be clearly illegal, but people are (apparently) doing this more and more. I'll start a separate thread about it because I was in the middle of writing something about how-low-can-you-go-low-bar-squats for the zine anyway.
From the USPA rule book
My big takeaway from the last thread on this topic was it's up to the judges at the comp. People on the internet have opinions, but their opinions don't actually matter when it comes to the actual judges interpreting the actual rules.
Well it wasn't an opinion that people are indeed competing with French low bar, so I'm not sure why you're telling me this? People are entitled to their opinions and yeah it is ultimately up to what the judge decides, but that doesn't mean rules don't change, for example the new bench rules in IPF.
There are places on the Internet where you can get opinions that matter, e.g., I participate in a USPA group on Facebook and some of the participants are judges and they readily offer their opinions.
I'm sure you don't mean this to sound the way it comes off Steve.
@silveraw said, "People on the internet have opinions, but their opinions don't actually matter when it comes to the actual judges interpreting the actual rules" and I offered a place on the Internet where those opinions do matter because they are from actual judges, some at the highest levels. Nothing more and nothing less than that was my intention. It's good to note places where one can get valuable advice for free; this forum is one such place and that USPA group is another.
Thx bruh
