Past like 80% of my max I have quite a bit of trouble unracking heavy weight for the bench press. Now I know I could ask for a lift-off but at the gym I train at unfortunately most are ignorant of powerlifting and they'll pull the weight too much and shoulders will come forward or they'll spot you and help ASAP.

So I'm gonna try bench in the power rack (which I never really do) so I have safeties but, yes, the issue is unracking weight. Many times you hear people say to use your lats to get it to you; dragging the bar to your chest/belly and not pushing on it. But, yes, that's impossible with the pegs on the rack I have and you need to press it a little.

Issue is, if I press it then my shoulders are going to naturally come forward and then mess up the whole thing.

So what do you guys do? I do see some train alone and go for maxes so it's definitely doable.

Edit: Like Mike here does it fine and that's a huge weight although not sure what % it is for him:

i think i'll hit a 100kg bench in a few months, my bench and ohp are going up nicely. already got a 140kg squat and 180 deadlift, just need to get exams done so i can hit some juicy prs.

i was actually leaner in January but i ate alot and din't really train much for a while so put on the fatzzz.

You may have already got 180 deadlift but you said that you failed a 150 deadlift the other day. Therefore you don't have a 180 deadlift anymore.

Stop throwing numbers around that don't correspond to your training anymore.

What do you guys reckon is better for delt development? I want nice, round, full delts. Currently I do standing BB overhead press 5/3/1 followed by 5x10. Im thiking of switching to seated DB overhead press for thr 5x10, I only really feel military press on front delts and my delts never got big from doing that.

I just unrack myself and bench without spotter these days.

It's a cult that is doing FAR too well.

Personally I'm quite disappointed in powerlifting. If it sorted out its many issues I see it being part of Olympics and from then on it'd do very well. But that's probably unlikely to be the case.

At least getting to Strongman level would be decent. But I don't like CF because it's over taken all these sports out of nowhere because SOMEHOW they get people to pay them stupid amounts of money every month to do a glorified circuit.

I don't think it's wrong but rather sad of powerlifting, say, to be trying to cut deals with CF. All the time you see really strong powerlifters - Westside Barbell, Supertraining Gym et al - doing seminars at CF. Powerlifting been around for so long and it's quite sad how they're having to try drum up some business from this new fad.

I don't know if the unflavoured MP whey is any different but it definitely clumps with water.

Also don't have the grid thing that some have if that makes any sort of difference.

PS - I squat more than you.

Everyone is on steroids so that's not an issue.

Yes, there's way too many federations though. Plus, no way it's gonna be in the Olympics with raw, single-ply and multi-ply. I think if they just had raw then it'd be possible but it's gone too far now. Nothing wrong with gear but for most people I think they wouldn't understand it.

To be honest I don't know why Oly lifting has done better. They're not that dissimilar in basic ways. I mean from the origins not now with how everything has gone.
