I had to read what you were asking.
I reckon you have the option of starting and ending the lift off the pins whether standing inside or outside the rack.
Hi,
Yes agree the option you mention is available.
But the function of the exercises are to build strength and confidence lifting weights you have not previously clean & jerked or snatched.
You have to know that when you come up with your arms locked out that the safety bars are there. Sure without the bars you could drop the weight but why not just have the safety bar so that you know the safety bar will catch the falling weight. OWL is a lot about confidence as well as strength and technique.
Additionally, the athlete can commence to do sets with heavier weights.
That Muscle Motion equipment is very very well made, heavy and solid.
Hammer Strength have a 8ft rack & a 9ft rack but they run out at $3500 to $4500 respectively. 9 ft rack i cannot quite get in the garage and the 8ft is ok but $3500 is about $1500 more than i want to pay.
New York Barbells have a great selection of racks but they want $2k for delivery alone but the rack is great and while I initially dismissed the idea I am starting to think that i could pay $700 for the rack and $2k for the delivery and it would still be $700 cheaper than the Hammer strength 8' rack which have safeties at not the right height anyways.
You know I really didnt think i was asking for anything to different in trying to get safeties at 190cm or taller but apparently i am.
cheers
