What correction should be made if the bar is arcing in front during a lift?

  1. Increase grip strength

  2. Adjust foot positioning

  3. Block with a PVC pipe

  4. Lower the weight being lifted

The correct answer is: Block with a PVC pipe

If the bar is arcing in front during a lift, using a PVC pipe as a tool for blocking helps visualize the correct path the bar should take. This method allows the lifter to practice maintaining a straight bar path, which is crucial for effective and safe lifting. When the bar moves forward instead of staying close to the body, it can lead to a mechanical disadvantage and increase the risk of injury. Practicing with a PVC pipe gives the athlete immediate feedback on their movement pattern and emphasizes the importance of keeping the bar in line with the center of gravity. This correction approach is practical, enabling the lifter to focus on the mechanics of their lift without the distraction of added weight. Correcting the bar path ensures that the lift is performed efficiently and safely.
