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.
