Rolling start deadlift???

[ohjoshua]

I have seen it in many powerlifting videos...

I have not read anything in the IPF rules...

Rolling start for the deadlift during a powerlifting competition. Is it allowed???

I have recently started rolling start deadlifts and enjoy it for the timing aspect. I dont want to get too used to it if its not allowed.

Thnx.

its more of a timing thing.... i can apply full force once it touches my shins.

It is allowed as long as you time it right for the attempt and do not do a false start.

The bigger guys use this method to get the bar closer to the shins, but as you get stronger you may change you lifting start position and may start with your shins further out which the rolling start may impede.

If it helps then keep doing it.
