    Default 4 Lift Meet?

    Why is there not in existence a 4-lift meet? Press, bench press, DL, squat?

    NASA and some other feds have a 4 lift meet: Squat, Bench, DL, BB Curl.

    Even with that option, a lot of people don't want to do all 4 lifts. Some just to push/pull, bench only, etc. I think the biggest reason is that the meets run longer with more lifts. This is part of the reason why Olympic Lifting dropped their third lift.

    I really hate that the press was eliminated from olympic lifting. I swear it's part of the reason the USA now sucks at an international level. We should start a petition or something to bring that back.
