What command must a lifter wait for after their bench press?

In powerlifting, the command given by the referee is crucial in ensuring that the lifter performs the lift correctly and follows the established rules. After the lifter completes their bench press, the lifter must wait for the "Rack" command from the referee before they can return the barbell to the rack. This command indicates that the lifter has completed the lift successfully and can safely lower the bar back to its resting position. The "Rack" command is a necessary part of the lifting process as it ensures that the lifting operation is properly concluded and that the lifter has completed the discipline in accordance with safety protocols and competition regulations.

Other commands, while important during different phases of the lift, such as starting the lift or indicating that the lifter should begin performing, do not serve this specific purpose of signaling when the bar can be returned to the rack. "Rack" is thus the definitive command that distinguishes the completion of the lift from the subsequent actions.
