Or create some sort of algorithm that determines weight + distance moved and scores it. That might sound like a convoluted mess but it would be a more accurate measure of power than this satire
It doesn’t even need to be that complicated. You could even say people would start aiming to maximize their algorithm score and not the most weight, and who knows what that would actually look like. Just make the bench press look like an actual bench press for fuck sakes
Well it would be an upgrade from this. You would have to complete a rep to be scored at all. This may be determined a completed rep but it would have the lowest possible score for a completed rep at said weight (easily beatable). Then short people will say they’re at a disadvantage (as tall people do currently) …well then they would have to arch their back less or squat deeper to create a larger range. Probably too futuristic for where most people are at now. Maybe if Elon Musk creates a powerlifting federation one day.
