very nice bb .
we have a rubber mat that is about half as thick as the drop from 1 rung to the next that we can throw down on the floor to make it easier to unrack the weight

if you have a 2 inch gap between the holes just use a 1 inch mat . i just thought of this or we would have done it myself but you could get 2 new hooks for the bar made that hang at different heights than the old ones , once again do it so that they would be half way between where the old hooks would have placed the bar in the 2 holes you are trying to use . if your gym owner is agreeable you could also make a homemade powerrack attachment like we have that hangs from the top of the rack ours is all manual [ no hydraulics ] but it suits us just fine .

those squat racks suck. we have them at one of my gyms and they are a pain in the ass. Hammer strength. the benches suck too.

im training more and more back at my old gym just cause of the equipment.

however you can drop dopwn a slot and put some plates under the back feet. it'll be better than what you doing.

welcome ot my world we have hammer benches as well lol
we have a power rack but it has a built in platform thats 4 inches from the ground and my stance would put my feet dangerously close to the edge so i dont bother using..doesnt matter anyway since the hole spacing is very wide as well..

but hey we got 2 big huge smith machines!!!!!!!! :wink2:
 
find ya gym. joel toranzo trains in jersey. they got a monolift cause i saw a clip of him squatting with it. super nice guy as well. and he also knows his way around the bench. 750 bench a couple of years ago before the bench numbers went crazy. he's just now recovering from some major tri tears. he trains at II from time to time as well.

btw i met john bennor and chris taylor at the seniors. super nice guys.
 
BB - where in Jersey are you? I live in north Jersey and train with the aforementioned (shit - I know that's gonna set me back PB) Joel Toranzo regularly and every now and then with Bernor and Taylor.

My bad - I was misinformed by uni-eating 300# retiree that you're in NJ. II will be great if you can get there.
