What happens immediately after the lifter completes a successful lift, according to standard signaling?

• A. The next weight/attempt is prepared
• B. The current weight is reset
• C. The lifter sits down
• D. The scoreboard resets

Answer: (A)

Immediately after a lift is judged successful, the next attempt is prepared. The loading crew changes the bar to the weight planned for the lifter’s next attempt, so the meet can move on without delay. The lifter typically moves to the waiting area while the bar is readied, and the scoreboard is updated to reflect the successful lift rather than being reset. The current weight isn’t reset to zero; it’s simply swapped for the next planned load.
