Deadlift Technique
All reps must be performed with a rep pause. That means once completing one rep, you must take your hands off the bar, stand up straight, and then begin another rep. Hips must lock out at the top for reps to be counted.
Chin Technique
An overhand or underhand grip may be used. For a rep to be counted, your clavicle (top of chest) must touch the bar at the top of each rep. At the bottom, the arm must be at least 120 degrees.
