Otherwise, just go to fortified-iron.com/forum, the training journal section and find the log of the use named knobbers.
I always wondered why the fuck the NFL does 225lb reps on the bench to determine a players strength. You would think they would do something similar to this. If USA Bobsledding can figure this out, why cant the NFL?
I do find it odd. I am not sure how the other olympic combines work. But for this one it is a explosive oriented sport so it makes sense. Makes you wonder why the NFL etc won't update and change to current times.
Bench is one of my strongest lifts, to bad it isn't included lol, but I don't mind this set up at all.
The only reason I can think of, and it isnt a good one, is because the combine and draft are so popular these days. They want people talking about it, and more people are going to be running around screaming what a badass Shawn Meriman is for benching 225lbs 32 times, than if he squats over 600lbs. Your average person has no idea how hard it is to squat 600lbs, but benching 225 32 times makes anyone a badass.
Now im sure this isnt the reason, because it would be a really bad one, but I cant for the life of me understand why else they would have it so mixed up.
