The goal of exercising for athletes is to train for force production within the constraint of the movement pattern they’re supposed to be training. “Well, I got the weight up, so it counts.” That’s a crappy mentality. Technical failures include but are not limited to: a rounded back deadlift, bounced off the chest bench press, squat or lunge variation that is not low enough and rowing movement that has the hips and knees extend to help propel the weight up…sound familiar? ![]() The problem is, with many athletes (those who are not powerlifting athletes) we see technique begin to fail as the weight approaches the 1 Rep Max. Technique proficiency is something every coach should see before adding on any considerable weight to the bar. Looking for a crane scale to measure isometric force? Try this one out! It holds the peak value and gives reliable readings.
