So is the bar actually suppose to be in contact with the mid thigh? I tried today, and got the bar closer, but it didn't actually touch my leg on the way up.

Madcow Intermediate Week 6
I took my failure to get 255x5 on the bench press today particularly hard. Words can't express my disappointment. I don't know why I get so upset about a failure on the bench vs. any other lift. Also, the power rack in my gym really doesn't work for the bench, so I have a hard time pushing it. I've been stuck under the bar before. It's not that big of a deal, but it discourages me from pushing for that last rep. I can always lift my butt off the bench to get it, which I did today. Very disappointing.
