For lifters with attached limbs, how are they weighed in?

• A. Without the attachments
• B. The attachments are removed prior to weighing
• C. Weigh in is not possible for attached limbs
• D. With the attachments on

Answer: (D)

The weight used for classification and competition is the weight the lifter carries on the platform, including any prosthetic limbs or attached equipment. For lifters with attached limbs, you weigh in with those attachments on. This keeps the lifter’s category accurate and consistent with what will be on the platform during attempts, since removing them would understate the actual competing weight and could create unfair or inconsistent results. So, the attachments are worn during the weigh-in.
