They have very strick parameters to do these reps. This comes up every year and almost without fail, derails the thread. Only the ones that meet the criteria for the measurement are counted. Plenty of these guys do a lot more but they aren't counted because they do not meet the form.
Yeah you have to keep strict form when doing it. It's not as easy as bringing it down and pumping it up fast like most people do (which isn't terrible, its just not correct).
From the RNH video, it seemed like it had to be touch the chest to full extension to count. That's not as easy as it seems. Most people seem to think 6 was good for RNH.
Keep in mind this isn't the NHL where guys bench press 225 for 20 plus reps. The thing with those guys is they specifically train upper body strength to be as high as possible. Hockey players train everything and being able to do only 6 of 150 isn't a big deal. The muscles used for that won't get used in the same way on the ice. I would imagine scouts pay attention more to the standing long/high jump and the VO2 max tests the most.
