The Iron Games Powerlifting
(e) Records on individual lifts must be accompanied by
a total of the three lifts. Single lift Bench Press
records made at a three lift (Powerlifting) event do not
need to be accompanied by a total but bona fide
attempts must be made both on squat and deadlift.
(f) In the event two (2) lifters request the same weight for
a new record in individual lift, and if the first lifter by
lot number succeeds, the second lifter must add 0.5
kg to his/her attempt to claim the record.
Where the question is of the record in total, the
record holder is determined in accordance with item
1. d) on page 2 under
GENERAL RULES OF POWERLIFTING
(g) New Records are only valid if they exceed the previous
record by at least 0.5 kg.
(h) If a lifter is attempting to set a World record in the
deadlift and is placed at the end of the round by
virtue of a protest, the remaining lifters in the group
attempting the World record will have to increase
their attempt by 0.5 kg.
(i) All records broken under the same conditions as that
listed above shall be recognized and registered.
3. World single lift bench press records may be made at
any of the forenamed Championships known as
single lift or as below. The same criterion applies to
that of all world powerlifting records.
(a) Should a lifter exceed the single lift bench press
record whilst lifting in a three lift powerlifting contest,
he/she may claim the single lift bench press record if
bona fide attempts are made on both squat and
deadlift.
(b) Should a lifter in a single lift bench press contest
exceed the three lift powerlifting record he / she
cannot claim the three lift powerlifting record.
