 If you have any doubt that you may have under-tightened, my advice would
be to loosen the cranks completely (with an extractor), then grease and
re-tighten. If you're in doubt about what 300 in-lb feels like then
perhaps you should invest in a torque wrench -- otherwise err on the
side of caution and over-tighten a bit.

I've heard it referred to as face-shakingly-tight when using your
typical allen wrench multi-tool.
