[QUOTE="chris975d, post: 696387, member: 3766"] Well what I’m referring to is the form and technique required in a true lifting competition vs these rep type deals. A competition lift has to have a true pause of motion at the bottom, and a true controlled, held lockout at the top. There’s a judge for each of those areas of the lift, and a violation on either will get you a fault. It’s to make sure you actually control the weight and not use any momentum or “bounce” off of your chest, like you do with so many gym lifters and even in some of these rep competitions. It’s just a difference in focus. What’s focused on here is more muscle endurance. Interesting note, in the beginning of my powerlifting career, I trained with a 58 year old guy that could do 70+ controlled reps of 225 lbs. Took me several years to be able to get close to him on that, but I was within a few pounds of him on 1RM. It’s very impressive to see a guy that age be able to rep 225 with good form for that many reps. [/QUOTE]
