The pins on the power rack for the GM's seem so high.. and yet you don't seem to touch them at the end of the movement, right? I might have to start incorporating seated GM's into my arsenal.

i could have put them one lower, but if I got in trouble, i would have been squished with my chest stuck to my thighs. I know they look high, its kind of the angle of the camera. at the bottom of the lift, my chest was on my thighs. Really couldn't get much deeper, unless i spread my legs a little, and allowed my chest to go past my thighs
Have not benched since January of this year. Switched to military press, dips, and assistance work in general for triceps and shoulders. Figured since I am eating way over maintenance calories - why not have some fun and run a couple cycles of Poliquin's bench routine.
Next workout is seven singles and 275 for 5x5. After the sixth workout (eight singles) - the weight goes up 15-20 pounds.
Not the kind of workouts most of you are used to, but here's a video of my last Yoke set on the 4th. 630lbs for 50ft. It was at a snail's pace, but a PR for me anyway.
Another video in case anyone is watching them.
This was a 585lb rack deadlift from 18in. I have a contest next month where this is an event so I've been doing some pulling from this height lately.
