How Iron Pirate Strength & Conditioning Rankings Work

Iron Pirate Strength & Conditioning rankings are based on an athlete’s BEST Power Clean, Back Squat and Bench Press.

Personal maximums are based on the repetitions an athlete performs at a selected weight up to a maximum of six reps.

All reps exceeding six are tossed out and not counted to calculate maximums.

Testing generally occurs four times a year, although athletes are encouraged to test more often, especially on days they’re feeling ready to go. Athletes are allowed to test one, two or all three of the lifts.
