Period 3 Weight Training Blog #2 Standards

We are learning specific form in various lifts; many of the lifts have certain protocol to follow for the lifts to count.


For instance, in the squat, the rep does not count unless the hip joint is below the knee joint. In the bench press the bar must touch the chest for the rep to count. Also in the bench the spotter may not touch the bar or the rep does not count. In the push-press the arms must reach a lockout position. In the deadlift the hips and knees must lockout while maintaing a straight, athletic back.

Why are these standards and protocols important to our class?
