Instructions

  2. 2Film the benchmark from the same angle and distance every time.
  3. 3Record the number and the date somewhere you will actually see it.
  4. 4Re-test on the same day of the week, fresh, every two to three weeks.

What to focus on

Identical setup each test so the numbers mean something.

Recommended reps

1 benchmark set, repeated every 2-3 weeks

Common mistake

Changing the test, angle, or effort level and calling it progress.
