Hi Doc,
I’m currently on Week 7 of the 2nd Phase of the Beginner Template and have been really enjoying it. However, I have been having some problems with unracking on the bench press. I train alone so I can’t get anyone to hand it off to me. So, I’ve been trying some techniques I saw and raising my hips to be at a slight decline when unracking. However, this can be inconsistent and I still end up wasting a ton of energy to unrack my heavy sets. In fact, today I couldn’t do my set @ RPE 9 because I just couldn’t unrack it and even then had trouble unracking the back off sets. What do?
Thanks, Roman
