What do referees inspect immediately after a successful American record attempt?

• A. The lifter's diet
• B. The lifter's coaching notes
• C. The lifter's footwear
• D. The lifter's attire and equipment

Answer: (D)

After a successful record attempt, referees perform a quick check of the lifter’s attire and equipment to confirm everything complies with the federation’s rules and safety standards. They look for proper clothing (such as the correct singlet and any required undergarments) and permitted gear (footwear, belt, knee wraps or sleeves, wrist wraps, etc.), making sure nothing is prohibited or unsafe and that items meet size and material requirements. This helps ensure fairness and safety before the record is officially recognized. Diet or coaching notes aren’t part of this post-lift check.
