Which signal color is used to indicate a successful lift by referees?

• A. White
• B. Red
• C. Black
• D. Yellow

Answer: (A)

In powerlifting judging, colors are used to communicate the outcome of each attempt. The white signal is the one referees use to indicate a successful lift: the lift meets all rules, and it counts toward the lifter’s total. A red signal means the lift is disallowed due to a fault. Yellow is not used to declare a successful lift; it typically signals a non-decisive situation or a review, depending on the federation. So the correct color for a counted, good lift is white.
