3 Power in the main muscles for the lift.
-Microtrauma and recover. Muscle fiber recruitment and hyperthrophy.
-Signals, neural signals. Mental power. And phyaical power.
4 Amount of muscles tensed and how much total power.
-For grip for example, if you only tench your fist you have less power than when you tench from the side or even the floor.
5 Natural occuring hormones and neurotransmitters.
-Increase of those through training.

Powerlifting

Powerlifting consists out of three diciplines the squat, the bench press and the deadlift.

But you can simply also chose on or two events.


With the squat you need to hit a 90 degree angle.
There is normal squat and sumo squat and there are multiple techniques.

And with the bench press in competition you need to touch your chest and keep a 1 to 2 second pause and you need to keep your ass on the bench.
And there is technique 1: Hand placement 2: Lowering and pressing speed 3: where to you lower the bar 4: foot placement 5: Back on the bench to an arch and more

With the deadlift you pick up a plate loaded bar from the ground
There is normal deadlift and sumo deadlift. With normal deadlift you take on a not to wide stance and hand placement is around just behind foot placement. With sumo deadlift you take on a wider stance and hand placement is before foot placement lenghts.


There are weightclasses. And in competition you get lights three lights means a clean lift and with two lights it means it counts as a valid a lift.


And there is a total count from all three dicipline.


Extra: RAW is a lift without equipment
