Strap safeties for rack pulls?

[Mark Rippetoe]

How do you lower rack pulls that wouldn't result in a bent bar? I've only done them once... Asking out of complete ignorance.

You lower them more slowly.

Great stuff, gentlemen! You guys are so handy, thank you!

Question for you Bill:

In the RCAF, a common synonym for "firefighters" is "runway incursion". Is this a thing in the USAF too, or are your firefighters capable of following basic instructions?

Same mission, to primarily react to issues on the flightline, but also ready to respond to other issues on the base or surrounding community. If yours can't follow basic instructions, perhaps check with the community fire department.

The thing I like about straps is that you can set them at different heights from the front to the back. This gives you more height options than you would otherwise have using pins. I personally have not had any issues with the bar rolling on straps.
