Taking about equipment, I just recently was given a membership to our local UFC gym, this place is absolutely AWESOME with just about every piece of equipment you could ask for. Even with all of this state of the art equipment, particularly the HOIST leverage equipment, I still find a lot of the older, less state-of-the-art and some that are 20+ years old, is still better than the newer stuff.

Do you think that was sufficient range of motion? I'm being serious.  Seems you got to 90 degrees, but I always thought you were a fan of going deeper.

On that machine I was hitting bottom, but yes, if I’m squatting it parallel or below. Since I’ve got older my training priorities has changed toward more bodybuilding and don’t regular squat much anymore. I’ve switched to a V-Squat which is much easier on my body

ILLUMINATI, Did your bench press improve by training with your feet off the floor?

If so ... by how much?

Thanks!

It certainly helped my bench press poundage - I can’t remember by exactly how much
As I was powerlifting in my late teens to late 20’s (58 now )
Benching feet up & flat back made for a longer movement & did wonders for my pec development
I still do most of my chest work feet up.

At my strongest I could bench 170k @ 75k bw & my heaviest bench poundage was 215k @ 90k.
I would recommend feet up benching - Maybe alternate sessions with regular powerlifting benching.
As obviously the 2 planes of movement are different & you want to maximise the crossover gain
From flat benching.
