As someone else already mentioned, for OL, it's all about lower body power and explosion.
Agree 100%. If anything, they should do the top 1/4 rep of the bench to show their lockout strength. If a tackle has a DE in his chest, he's already lost the battle. I also wish they had a standard way to test core strength. That is such a valuable part of functional strength (and one Bodine lacked)
