Works: Everything — squat, bench, press, deadlift

Watch

Videos coming soon: Back squat · Front squat · Bench press · Overhead press · Deadlift · Romanian deadlift · Barbell row · Setting the safeties.
The steps below will get you set up — or ask Josh.

Set it up

  1. 1Set the J-hooks so the bar sits just below shoulder height for squats, or just above chest for bench
  2. 2Set the safety arms a touch below your lowest position — every lift, every time
  3. 3Load evenly, collars on, plates matched both sides
  4. 4Unrack, step back one step, set your feet, then lift. Re-rack by walking the bar back into the hooks

Watch out for

  • No safety arms set — this is the one non-negotiable
  • Loading one side fully before the other
  • Walking out three steps and having to walk back three steps under a heavy bar
Not sure? Go lighter, go slower, or ask. Nobody here minds.

Still stuck, or something's not right with the machine?
