Front Squat/UB Pulling: Athletes should focus on keeping good position throughout the front squat, especially focus on this while building up. Build up slow on both the upper body pull and the front squat, make sure the nervous system is ready to handle a maximal load if going to a 1-rep.
Deadlift/UB Pushing: Athletes should focus on keeping perfect form throughout the deadlift and press. Build up slow on both the upper body push and the deadlift, make sure the nervous system is ready to handle a maximal load if going to a 1-rep.

Lactic Tolerance: Athletes should prepare to be uncomfortable. Push into the discomfort and hold a fast pace. Break-up sets early, but try to go unbroken in the last round and leave it all out there.
Upper Body/Lower Body Endurance: Athletes should expect this to be mainly stamina with some breathing if fairly proficient at the movements. Remind athletes to break up sets early so that they do not reach failure in the later rounds. Also remind them to watch their form on their deadlifts throughout the Test.
