A clear standard for your next measurable improvement.
The measurement.
Total barbell load equals bodyweight (within 1%). Controlled chest touch to lockout. No bounce or assistance; use safeties and a spotter.
Required equipment
Record conditions, assistance, bodyweight and actual load when applicable. Use appropriate supervision for loaded or technical tests. An estimated maximum is not a measured single.
