But you arc a bit when pressing keeping your chest up. The bar should hit your chest before the pins or its wrong anyway or you're doing a pinpress. You should be able to deflate and flatten out, at that point the bar should rest on the rack and not you.

This. Arch until the pins are lower than your chest and if you get stuck you just un-arch.

Not all benches have pins .

If you're referring to me and Aube we are talking about putting a bench in a rack.

If not the I misunderstood

I think he's saying the bench is useless if the rack doesn't have spotter arms.

The maxx comes with the arms.






Thanks guys, I'll take this advise if my fucking rack ever gets finished.

Just don't be a lil bitch and put it up.

seems like money could be spent elsewhere. You can get some nice used benches for decent prices if you look.
