The first number refers to the lowering (eccentric) phase of the lift.

The Second Number
The second number refers to the amount of time spent in the bottom position of the lift – the point in which the lift transitions from lowering to ascending.

The Third Number
The third number refers to ascending (concentric) phase of the lift – the amount of time it takes you to get to the top of the lift.

Yes, I am aware that X is not a number. The X signifies that the athlete should EXPLODE the weight up as quickly as possible.

The Fourth Number
The fourth number refers to how long you should pause at the top of the lift.
