 Does f*ck all for SugdenBarbell.co.uk Member 1, 7173 posts SQ 182.5, BP 110, DL 205497.5 kgs @ 107kgs UnEq Administrator | I really think some sort of rack system should be incorporated into squats and bench presses. I believe they have tried one on bench presses in some competitions in America. Anything which can be done within reason to help safety should be I think; hopefully to help prevent some of those horrible injuries like on the video above!!  | ||

Scotbasher - forever Member 59, 2115 posts | According to the IPF rulebook safety stands are supposed to be mandatory in all international competitions on the benchpress. Theres no reason why they shouldnt be used in all contests | ||

 I am a bench-only guy Member 3, 10036 posts SQ 185, BP 175, DL 235595.0 kgs @ 140kgs UnEq Administrator | Is there any reason not to use a power cage with spotter bars for the squat? It'd surely have saved a fair few notorious competition injuries, or at least avoided a lot of the damage. | ||
