Question for PowerRack users

[Euro_Hunter]

Had my PowerRack for a couple of years now & been meaning to ask this question for ages

When benching where do you position the safety bars? as for me it either seems too low and the bar touches my chest (which is how I like to bench) but obviously this defeats the object of the Rack and one hole higher and the bar is an inch or 2 above my chest and I don't seem to get a good stretch in the pecs.

Position it below where you hit your chest. If you can't get it off your chest, just roll it up to your neck (remember that's a lot thinner than your chest) and onto the safety bars, then you can just slide out.

Thats what I used to do its just pretty scary lowering the weight near your face

Just started working out again seriously after about 18-24 months off so still on pretty light weights (around 50kg) but last week took it to failure on one set and got stuck under the bar for a while till I managed to slide out
