Does The Head Down Rule Have A Chance To Be Overturned?

After reviewing the video of Brian Siders' 771 pound bench press at the Arnold and 777 pound IPF World Record at the American Open, many have observed that it looks like he raises his head during the performance of the lift. That was made illegal by the IPF starting in 2007.

In a thread at Brad Madvig's USAPL forum (http://usapowerliftingforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=664&st=0&sk=t&sd=a), members discuss whether the rule has a chance of being overturned. At least part of the reasoning for re-implementing the rule was to help regulate the tightness of bench shirts. Will that factor ensure the rule stays in place?

Jeff Fiss:

Is there going to be any plans at this years NGB meeting in Texas to possibly do away with the head rule? It just seems to be a pointless rule that has no effect on an individuals strength. Raising the head allows for easier touching of the chest, but I thought that was what they were after with a bunch of bombouts from not being able to touch the chest with the bigger shirts. It's my own personal feeling so no one go crazy on me, but bigger guys have a harder time keeping the head down. Nowadays, half the time I am concentrating too much on keeping my head down rather than pressing the weight sicne it won't matter if I get the weight if my head comes off. Once the bar gets past halfway, I can't see a thing and I basically have to go by feel and bench blind. Another safety concern.

...The USAPL/IPF seriously needs to re-examine this rule....otherwise, every time a big name takes his head off the bench and gets a lift, it will be trashed on the internet for judges not enforcing it, thus bringing judging into question.

I see no reason not to allow the head come up as long as it back on the bench prior to the press command. It certainly does allow the lifter to see the bar and would prevent some bombouts!!!

Hva mener du? Bør regelen være, eller fjernes og at det skal være tillatt å løfte på hodet?

Bare lurer.. Kommer det ikke med en liten ekstra skaderisiko i nakke/halsområdet ved å løfte på hodet?

det kommer en ekstra skaderisiko ved å stå opp om morran...

Tulling!

Å løfte hodet gjør det lettere å komme ned, samt bedre å kontrollere løftet, samt det er sikrere da risikoen for å tilte mot maven reduseres.

Selvsagt er det "lettere" å løfte mere tror noen....derfor ble nok denne regelen innført. Sikkert, vet ikke...

Mine personlige meninger.

Regelen er et tvegget sverd der jeg kunne stemt begge veier.

Personlig ser jeg rett opp i taket med når jeg får 60 kg + på skjorta. Dette er kun vane eller uvane.

Utfra et publikum synspunkt synes jeg at hode, skuldre, rumpe og bein skal være i underlaget og STILLE. Med et rent og jevnt press er dette signaturen til IPF styrkeløfterenes benkpress.

jeg syns alt bær være nedi, unntatt hodet, det bør være valgfritt. hodet løfter ingen kilo, det bør bare være en smakssak, og er nesten en artig detalj mener jeg.

Argumentasjonen går vel på at det begrenser hvor stram skjorta kan være. Det er, som Holte sier, enklere å komme ned med stanga hvis du løfter opp hodet. For å unngå å løfte hodet må det da benyttes ei skjorte som er mindre restriktiv.
