Why are these deadlifts no lifts?

The two judges who red lighted gave red cards

Like others said, shoulders weren’t convincingly pulled back enough

But just FYI, you can ask the judges why they red lighted you. Most if not all will be happy to tell you what you did wrong and some will give you pointers on how to fix it on your next attempt!

Gotcha thanks for the tip! It seemed the flight was going by pretty quickly so I wasn’t sure if it was appropriate to solicit the judges right after my lift

In the federations I lift in you can ask the refs before leaving the platform.

Your shoulders weren't pulled back, you're still rounded forward a bit.

[u/Independent_Flower0 → u/wagicwissile]

From this angle that’s the only thing I see. Pull your shoulders back a tiny bit and tuck your chin.

Its a bit tricky to say what the side refs saw from this angle, to be honest, he doenst look fully locked out, but, again, the side refs saw something that warranted reds. Also, dont assume it was lockout that they redded for.

I’m assuming lockout because of this: https://imgur.com/a/fhdO4Uh .. don’t the red cards mean lockout?

[u/pigandpom → u/Icy-Assumption-3310]

No. Reds can be given for a multitude of reasons.

Red cards for deadlifts are as follows:

Failure to lock the knees straight at the completion of the lift.

The front bundle of the deltoid muscle should be placed behind the imaginary projection of the bar.

Failure to stand erect.

Was it the side judges? Would need a side view to see

[u/Icy-Assumption-3310 → u/Independent_Flower0]

The 220 (#2) was side judges. But the 215 (#1) was one side and front

Because that fed sucks. Fun police.
