Squat re-racking issue

[Marc Brainich]

I think the point has been made but yes, put the pins lower. I used to do the tiptoe thing until a female bodybuilder told me that when the weights get heavy there is eventually going to be that one time when you are too tired to tiptoe high enough …

It’s the one thing I’ll correct noobs on unasked at my commercial gym.

Dr. Sullivan's video on the Omega Rep comes to mind: The Omega Rep (Don't Be a Dork in the Gym!) - YouTube

My ballpark estimate (e.g. when setting up on an unfamiliar rack) has been that I should be able to put my upper chest against the bar and be able to hang my arms over the other side, as if propping myself up and catching my breath after a heavy set. That seems to approximate it pretty well.

Marc B, I may have asked to give that same unsolicited advice to one or two people myself.
