IPF Rule changes (Jan 2026)

Changes are highlighted in red.

Most notably, there seems to be three rule changes relating to technique:

  • Squat: Must use a full grip. Thumbless grip is no longer permitted. There's also a minimum height for bar position now.
  • Bench press: No sink-and-press
  • Deadlift: Clarifications on what it means to lock out with your shoulders back.
