What jvernacchio said.

In a competition you might see some form breakdown for that max attempt to win. The goal in that situation is different. It's winning, not improving your fitness or health. For those of us who exercise to improve body composition and health, lower back rounding would not be desirable. Use the heaviest loads you can lift with good technique.
