What are some of the common mistakes that will result in a lifter receiving red light?
The most common problem for lifters in the bench press is lifting their buttocks while pressing the bar upwards. The second most common mistake that many competitors make, is waiting for the “Press” or “Rack” commands. Sometimes a lifter will have no trouble making their attempt, but get so happy or excited that they do not wait for the “Rack” command. In the squat the most common cause of a red light is not squatting to the proper depth. If you are uncertain of parallel you can have someone call depth for you.
