    Hi folks. Would appreciate feedback on my bench form. I don't have any particular concerns but I've learned that has a poor correlation with me doing stuff right. Still running novice LP for bench - 3rd set on 102.5kg(226lbs)x5. Got some more LP to milk but I want to make sure it's in style.

    Bench - 102.5x5

    I probably have a narrowish grip - intentionally, as it's the most comfortable width for my crunchy shoulders.

    Please excuse the obstructing safety support. I tried some different camera angles without much improvement. If anyone wonders whether the rack position is too high - yes it is. I need to add some holes so I can un/re-rack it more comfortably. Whole bench is jacked up on blocks stripped car style so the safety supports are right height. Ghetto!

    Thanks mate. Yeah - hooks will be lowered when I decide on the best means to drill clean holes much larger than any bit I have - next rung down is almost impossible to unrack. Might be some extended Dremel work in my future. Or I can start lobbying for an actual power rack! woo hoo. Cheers.
