Greetings, Doctors.

I do not have access to a power rack (in my city, afaik), and I don’t see a way to execute Pin Benches with the exiting equipment in my current gym.

Is there a reasonable alternative for replacing this exercise in The Bridge? Either among the other variations included in the program or something like incline/decline benches or something else…

I searched for this question in the history, but had no luck.

Thank you!

You can do a 2 ct. paused bench if you can’t pin bench!

Thanks for checking too. 🙂

Thank you, Leah!

It’s sad not having power racks, 45 lbs barbells, prowlers and such… But there’ll always be iron.
