C7. Steinborn Lift
The bar starts on the platform and must first be lifted onto the lifter’s back. The lift begins at the lifter’s discretion. The collars on the bar must be of adequate strength to keep the plates in place when the bar is stood on end. The lifter must first stand the bar on end, bend under the bar so the bar is placed on the upper back, and then allow the top end of the bar to rotate downwards until the bar is off the platform and onto the lifter’s back. It is also allowable to bring the bar to one shoulder after the bar is stood on end, and pivot the bar across the shoulders until it reaches the proper position across the upper back. Feet movement and hand movement is allowed during this part of the lift. Once the lifter is upright with the bar on the back and legs straightened, an official will give a command to squat. The rules of the Squat apply to the squat portion of this lift. After the squat is finished and an official has given a command to lower the bar, the lifter must return the bar to the platform in the same manner in which it was lifted or it will be a disqualification. An assistant may be used to place a foot against the end of the bar when it is lifted and lowered to keep the bar from sliding on the platform. However, the assistant must not aid in the lifting or lowering of the bar in any other manner. The lift ends when the bar is placed under control by the lifter onto the platform
