Another bench question - I would prefer to bench without a spotter and use safety racks. Whenever I have tried this the bar hits the safety rack before it touches my chest and I lose tension. I have adjusted it lower but then the safety rack would serve no purpose if I dropped it, it would be on my neck. I always activate my lats and push my shoulder blades into the bench. I tried putting a mat on the bench to try to give me another half inch or so but no luck. Any ideas?
i never use safety racks mainly for the fact that if you use them correctly, you dont get a full range rep.

learn how to safely get out from under the bar, or stick to 3rep/2rep maxes and know your body. there have been many times im going for a 2 rep max and after the 1st rep, you just know you arent going to get the 2nd. no shame in dropping down a few lbs to finish out the set.
