Member 143, 237 posts SQ 340, BP 245, DL 310895.0 kgs @ 120kgs Eq | Not bad benching to say the least Over the last few years I've seen a number of Fins and Danes unrack the bars themselves. I asked them the exact same question after the contests. Their answers were always on the lines of - that way you never get a bad handout. Makes sense I suppose, despite the extra effort. I've actually toyed around with it myself seeing as I train solo a lot of the time and it's quite and interesting experience when the bar gets heavy to say the least. | ||

I prefer side handouts in terms of they're not being someone right above my face, but centre hand outs I definitely do prefer in terms of stability. All it takes it someone with slow reactions (or Rick trying his 'one-handed hand-off trick') and you have wobble to contend with. The rack is definitely the perfect height for him to take it out though, minimal effort - no way I could do that with anything heavy at Adders. | ||

Is partial to the odd bender. Member 6, 10239 posts SQ 280, BP 192.5, DL 317.5790.0 kgs @ 102kgs Eq | At Addlington the racks are too far behind you to unrack it yourself with anything over 100k ish. | ||

Member 77, 12599 posts SQ 265, BP 165, DL 280710.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq | If you bench out of a power rack and free standing bench you can easily set it up to unrack without a great problem. The problem I find with side hands offs is that the spotters carn't always hand of at same time, plus they carn't feel the pressure the lifter applies and position the bar accordingly. It's not a major problem though . I would imagine it's more of a problemn equipped lifters. | ||

AUSTRALIA !!! AUSTRALIA !!! AUSTRALIA !!! Member 22, 452 posts SQ 250, BP 195, DL 250695.0 kgs @ 121kgs Eq | Why is that "IPF"? His arse is off the bench and there is no pause. Crazy power though of course. I train alone and unrack all my benches myself. I prefer it. | ||

memories , like the corners of my mind .... Member 49, 2298 posts SQ 200, BP 132.5, DL 220552.5 kgs @ 123kgs UnEq | Originally posted by DMPM... Why is that "IPF"? His arse is off the bench and there is no pause. Crazy power though of course. He is doing the raw benching as just an assistance for his shirted benching. He is the super heavies champ so he is doing something right... | ||

Eat.Cycle.Sleep.Win Member 2, 12511 posts SQ 190, BP 150, DL 280620.0 kgs @ 99kgs UnEq Administrator | Top benching! I actually like to unrack a lot of my own benches. Have done for years. Of course the bench has to be the right dimensions or it csn be near on impossible with anything heavy. | ||

just smoked Ed and Neil - EAT MY GOAL Member 120, 1582 posts | I've never really considered not unracking the bar myself to be honest. I usually train alone, but even when I train with some else i never thought about getting them to hand it off. Now i just tend to set up my racks so that i don't have to reach behind me to unrack. | ||
