Rack Lockouts: where to set the bar??

[DaveTSI]

not sure how high/low to set the bar. and do you start from the bottom, or unrack like a normal benchpress??

 

[H_T_]

You're gonna set it according to arm length, basically you're just going to be moving it a few inches, say maybe the last third of the press, and you press it right off the pins, no unracking.

I set it at about 6 inches.

 

[DaveTSI]

you mean 6 inches above your chest??

 

[genarr3]

you mean 6 inches above your chest??

Yes that's what he means.

And no you would let it rest on the pins and press it from there, no need to unrack it.

I set it at 3-6 inches for the distance moved.
