In Response To: Press out rule (wolf hasenmaier)

I HAVE ALWAYS THOUGHT THE PRESSOUT RULE WAS BS!
FIRST , IT IS CALLED VERY INCONSISTENTLY MAKING THE REFEREE'S JOB ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE.SECOND,IT IS VERY DIFFICULT,AND AT ELITE LEVELS
VERY FEW CAN DO IT WITH THE INCREDIBLE WEIGHTS THESE GUYS CAN PULL,
SO IT IS A ALMOST A MUTE POINT. ANOTHER THING, IT IS HARD TO PROMOTE THE SPORT WHEN SPECTATORS NEW TO THE SPORT SEE LIFTS TURNED
DOWN AFTER A LIFTER COMPLETES THE LIFT.

CLEAN IT, GET OVERHEAD, BRING IT UNDER CONTROL=GOOD LIFT!
