It involves setting up a flat bench inside a power rack.

Set the safety bars a few inches below your lockout.

Load the olympic bar on the safety bars.

Lay on the bench and lockout. . repeat the process.

Overall, good for strengthening the lockout of the bench press.

Also, look into board and floor presses.

If you don't know what these are. . run a search.

What difference does that make? I guess you'd just lose your leg drive...

I've just starting doing Incline rack lockouts and all i can say is DAMN! It sounds like it would be akward but it really isn't and i get a good pump.

on a side note on rack lockouts. on all places possible. i set up the hooks where i want them to normally unrack a bench. then set the pins to the desired height. this way i get to get used to unracking the heavy weight, and reracking it as well.
