DAVID HORNE- HORNE TOP
Rules- Only the ‘Horne’ is to be grasped. The apparatus is lifted until the marker jutting out at the bottom (at 6.5”, from the floor) touches a horizontal bar placed at 16.5”, measured from the underside of the bar to the floor. This allows a 10” lift.
There is no referee’s signal. You do not have to be erect upon completion. You must lower the weight under control (hand grasping it all the way down). If the top accidentally touches the bar before the weight itself, referee’s discretion will be used to judge whether the correct height was attained.
You must not intentionally tilt the apparatus to gain leverage.
