You would think so wouldnt you.
But trofius, we have lots of lazy lifters who only compete in BP, I'm not making this up.
I understand why we only have bench for handicapped lifters, but for lifters with functioning legs.
Another area which I feel is dreadful but I have no solution, so I've never brought it up before, is lifters taking token squat/deadlift attempts to set records at bench. This even happens at Nats.
Others made records but took 60kg attempts on lifts they werent going for a record on.
I have no solution, so I stay quiet.
